New Xbox pre-orders are now live, and you can buy any one of the new variants of the Xbox Series X and Series S consoles at a few major retailers right now. All three of these consoles will be officially released on October 15, with some select countries following slightly later on October 29.
And yes, that includes the best of the bunch: the beautiful new Galaxy Black Special Edition 2TB Xbox Series X.
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.
