Phil Spencer says Xbox One X pre-orders ‘won’t be too much longer’

The Xbox One X, the unhelpfully named upcoming console from Xbox, was officially revealed at this year’s E3. XB1X is out on November 7, but pre-orders are now just around the corner, at least according to head of Xbox and head of wearing a t-shirt under a suit jacket Phil Spencer. 

Our plan is set for this.  All approvals are done so now just landing the announce with all the info, won’t be too much longer.

Responding to a question on Twitter, Spencer says that the ‘plan is set’ for pre-orders, and that all approvals are now done, so it won’t be too much longer before pre-orders go live.

Yea, you’ve seen some of these with S and I’m sure you’ll see some with X.

He also confirmed that we’ll see some consoles sold bundled with 4K TVs, although many retailers put said bundles together themselves for the Xbox One S. It’s unclear if Microsoft will officially partner with a leading TV manufacturer for this (like, say, Sony, for example). 

Previously known only as ‘Project Scorpio’ (which this reporter thinks they should have kept because at least it doesn’t sound very similar to ‘Xbox One S’ when you say it out loud), the Xbox One X will be the most powerful console going on its release. It’ll cost £449, or $499.
