The in-person images give a better look at how the Galaxy Black Xbox Series X looks. The exact launch date of the new Xbox models is now known as well.

The Xbox Series X 2 TB Galaxy Black Special Edition is the most expensive at $599.99, but that price gets you a large amount of storage to keep the best Xbox games on your system. The Xbox Series X 1TB Digital Edition ($449.99) and the Xbox Series S 1TB in Robot White ($349.99) have respectable amounts of storage, especially when compared to the base models of the respective consoles.

Preorders for the consoles are live now. Those in the United States should get their preorders on October 15, 2024. The console models are also available in Xbox hardware supported regions and markets, though customers outside the United States will have to wait until October 29, 2024 to receive their preorders.

The launch of preorders for the new console models comes during Gamescom 2024 , which has stirred up excitement among gamers. It also ensures that those who preorder the consoles now get their new gadgets before the 2024 holidays, assuming supply meets demand.

If you want to expand the storage of your console rather than purchase a new one, the discounted 2TB Seagate Expansion Card is down to $229.99 right now, which is $20 off its normal price.
