In the lead up to the reveal of Project Scorpio--now named Xbox One X--Microsoft referred to it as a premium system. During its E3 press conference today, it demonstrated what it mean, revealing that the console will retail for $500 in the US, confirming a report from earlier today. Internationally, it will go for £449, €499, CA$599, and AU$649.

The upcoming console's release date is set for November 7, 2017. Aesthetically, the Xbox One X looks a lot like a black Xbox One S, but Microsoft says it will be its smallest console to date.

Xbox One X enhancements--including 4K support--are coming for a number of future games. Existing games like Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3 will also be updated to include 4K support on Xbox One X.

It's impressive... but that price, and the line up doesn't justify it.

The side vents and just the general alignment of the thing is giving me PS4 tea

Surprised at the Canadian price. 499$ Canadian is equivalent to almost 675.00, I'm surprised it is not 699.00.

It's a premium console for the hardcore gamer. I'm cool with my OG XB1 for the next few years anyway.

[Brother Leon]

It's a very nice console, but don't think this or the PS pro is going to tempt me to upgrade my PS4.

that's nice, but it has no games
