Microsoft’s white Xbox Series X and 2TB Galaxy Black console preorders start today
Consoles shipping this October
🚀 Pre-orders are live for three new Xbox consoles variants
🥇 Xbox Series X 2TB in Galaxy Black is $599 at Best Buy
🥈 Xbox Series X 1TB in Robot White is $449 at Walmart
🥉 Xbox Series S 1TB in Robot White is $349 at Best Buy
📆 All new consoles ship on October 15
Microsoft has announced its new three new Xbox Series X and S consoles will be launching on October 15 and they’re all available to preorder starting now. The disc-less white Xbox Series X is priced at $449.99 while the special edition 2TB Galaxy Black Xbox Series X will retail for $599.99. Lastly, the new 1TB Xbox Series S goes for $349.99.
The limited-edition Galaxy Black Xbox Series X will likely sell out fast so don’t miss out on your chance to get it. It not only features a new star-speckled paint job, it has the largest SSD storage drive Microsoft has ever put in its latest console. The white disc-less Xbox Series X, meanwhile, features the same robot white paint job as the Xbox Series S. While going for Xbox’s all-digital console to preclude you from ever using discs again, it does feature a 1TB drive which would normally cost $499.99 with a regular, black Xbox Series X.
The new Xbox Series S also drops its disc drive but it now features double the storage with a 1TB drive for $50 more than the 512GB console. If you’ve been on the fence about getting Microsoft’s cheaper console, the bigger SDD is a nice get.
Preorders for the three new consoles just open today and again they’ll arrive on October 15. Just in time to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, STALKER 2: Heart of Chornobyl, and Indiana Jones and the Great Circle – though you’ll be able to play that last one on the PS5 Slim and possibly the PS5 Pro later this Fall.
Hold up PlayStation fans: PS5 preorders may start in September following Sony’s usual timing
