## Transcript

Hi, this is Larry Hryb, Xbox Live's Major Nelson, really excited to share this with you. This is the Xbox One X Project Scorpio edition that we are announcing today, and will be available for preorder today as well. Now, I have these special white gloves which are gonna allow me to dig in and do an unboxing. But I wanna show you the box first, because this is beautiful. This is the beautiful packaging Which leans into the heritage of Xbox. Here we see the Xbox green. For those fans that have been with us for a while, they're gonna notice the x on the front kinda looks like the original doesn't it?

Of course earlier this year we announced original coming to back combat, and here you can kinda see it hinted in this Xbox 1x super limited edition packaging. So what do you say we jump into it. [ MUSIC ] Let's take a look at what we have in the box. Of course, we have a trial for Game Pass and XBox Live Gold will be included. In this box over here you will find the stand which I've already got attached. This box over here we are going to include the controller, batteries are included. A high speed, 4K capable HDMI cable. And then we have the console. But not just any console, this is the world's most powerful console.

4K gaming, six teraflops, this thing, as you know, is a beast. Look at the front. Look at this beautiful graphic design. We have the XBox green on both the console as well as the controller. Project Scorpio edition, this is lovely. All right. Now we get a good shot at this. Let me spin it around here, so you can see the beautiful, beautiful design on the front. Their precision on the DOs is kind of a gradient all the way down. Again, heritage showing the power. This is the world's most powerful console and you need a design to show that off, and that's what the project scorpio edition does. You can see it right here Look how beautiful it is.

And here we have the controller. You can see it says Project Scorpio on the front. Of course, the Xbox green is there, which is great to see for folks that know the Xbox green with these beautiful premium buttons. Now I also wanna point out that all your existing Xbox One controllers will work perfectly with Xbox One X. And of course The xBox One X Project Scorpio edition. Isn't it beautiful? All right let's turn it around and take a look at the ports back here. Of course if you have an xBox One X you'll already recognize the ports. They're in precisely the same order. As your XBox 1S. So you can drop this into your home entertainment system, unplug it from the XBox 1S, plug it into the XBox 1X.

We're going to make it easy to move all your content over, and you're going to be ready to go. What's really cool is we have some design touches back here as well. You'll notice the DHDMI out has a little bump on it, so you know when you're feeling back there, you know exactly what port to plug it into. Everything is exactly the same. It's going to be very, very familiar. And that's a look at the Xbox 1X Project Scorpio Edition. Now everything in the standard editions is included in the Project Scorpio Edition. But here you get this beautiful graphic, you get Xbox screen and this exclusive stand.

Now I'm happy to share it is available for preorder today so get your preorder in. Because once it's gone. This is going to be gone for good. My name is Larry Herb, XBox Live's Major Nelson, thanks for watching.
