Xbox Opens Pre-Orders for Three New Console Models

Xbox fans, mark your calendars! Microsoft has just launched pre-orders for three exciting new console models set to hit the market on October 15, 2024. Whether you're in the market for more storage, a sleek new design, or a budget-friendly option, there's something for everyone.

The Star of the Show: 2TB Galaxy Black Series X

First up is the 2TB Galaxy Black Series X, priced at £549,99. This model not only boasts double the storage of the original Series X but also comes in a stunning new design. If you're a serious gamer looking for maximum space—especially with the upcoming release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6—this is the console for you. The extra storage will be a godsend when those large game files come rolling in.

The All-Digital White Series X

For those who prefer a digital-only experience, the new white Series X offers a 1TB SSD and comes in at £429,99. This is the first time the Series X has been available in white, and it's a looker. While it sacrifices the disc drive, the £50 you save might be worth it if you're all-in on digital gaming.

The Budget-Friendly 1TB White Series S

Last but not least, the 1TB white Series S is perfect for gamers on a budget, priced at just £299,99. While it doesn’t offer the same power as the Series X models, it’s a great option for those who want to enjoy the current-gen experience without breaking the bank. The white design combined with a 1TB SSD makes it a solid choice for casual gamers or as a secondary console.

Global Launch and What It Means for Xbox

All three models will be available globally starting 29 October, 2024. These releases come at a time when Xbox's strategy is being questioned, particularly with the news that Indiana Jones and The Great Circle won't be Xbox exclusives. However, the commitment to new hardware suggests that Xbox is still focused on delivering a robust gaming experience, even if it means shaking up the traditional console lifecycle.

With pre-orders now open, it’s time to decide which of these new Xbox models will take center stage in your gaming setup. Whether you're after maximum storage, a new aesthetic, or just a great deal, Xbox's latest offerings have you covered.
