FULL STORY
======================================================================

Xbox has announced that pre-orders of the new variants of the Xbox Series X 
and Series S consoles - the ones revealed earlier this at the Xbox Summer 
Showcase 2024 - are going live today (August 21, 2024). 

And yes, that includes the best of the bunch: the beautiful new Galaxy Black 
Special Edition 2TB Xbox Series X. 

These new consoles go some way to fill out Xbox's hardware lineup this 
generation, offering more ways to jump into Team Green's ecosystem with a 
console that'll best fit your needs. 

In brief, the main advancements and differences with these variants are 
boosts to storage on the Series S and Galaxy Black Series X models, and the 
offer of an all-digital, disc-less experience on the powerful Series X (in 
white for the first time). 

You can see the key details below and the best places to place your pre-order 
for each, and we'll add more links and details when listings appear. New Xbox 
Series X and S console pre-orders 

 Xbox Series X - 2TB Galaxy Black Special Edition: $599.99 at Best Buy 
 We think this is a banger of a console edition and really shines in the new 
sparkly colorway and design. It's more expensive than the 1TB console, but it 
also has that larger SSD and a limited edition aesthetic. This also comes 
with a glorious matching controller that has a Velocity Green back case. 

 Price check: $599.99 - Microsoft Store 

 UK price: 549.99 - Microsoft Store View Deal 

 Xbox Series S - 1TB Robot White: $349.99 at Best Buy 
 Previously limited to a black colorway only, the 1TB variant of the Series S 
is one of our favorite current-gen models (especially when it's on sale) as 
it offers incredible value for money for those looking for an Xbox Game Pass 
machine. 

 UK price: 299.99 - Microsoft Store View Deal 

 Xbox Series X 1TB All Digital Robot White: $449.99 at Best Buy 
 If you've wanted the most performant console in terms of sheer power, or 
always wanted Xbox's full-fat machine, but also prefer digital gaming then 
this is the solution! Xbox now offers a fully digital Series X which contains 
all the same hardware as a disc-drive-based predecessor.

games, then now is a great time to pre-order and jump in. You might also
