Pre-orders for the 2024 Xbox consoles are finally live. In the new lineup, there will be an all-digital Xbox Series X, a Special Edition 2TB Xbox Series X, and a white Xbox Series S. The consoles are set to be shipped to customers in the U.S. on October 15.
The all-digital Xbox Series X is the first of its class with no disk drive. It will be available in “robot white” and will have 1TB of storage. It costs $450, so it’s $50 off the regular model—you can occasionally find the regular model for that price when it goes on sale.
Unlike the PS5, this disc-free Xbox SeriesX doesn’t save space in your entertainment center. Microsoft has confirmed that the new model is of the exact dimensions as the version with a disc drive. That means the advantage related to saving space isn’t there.
On the other end, for those willing to fork over more cash, there is a 2TB Special Edition Xbox Series X. It will come in “galaxy black” with a spacey design and it will retain the standard disc drive. That’ll cost buyers $600.
While this new white Xbox Series S comes with 1TB of storage, it succeeds a black version launched last year. These consoles shall be available in almost every area where Xbox is supported, but a few countries are exempted. However, the dispatch shall follow on October 29 in some of the countries.
