Bestbuy says they don't charge your card, but they are still looking for some kind of authorization... dicks...

Why are people preordering if don't think will keep? Isn't this supposed to be next best thing? I guess this thing doesn't make sense if you're not 4K, huh?

Nothing, but people can change their minds on whether $499 is worth it for a console refresh. Maybe someone's financial situation changes (for both positive or negative), maybe a spouse puts their foot down. Who knows.

I preordered one just to confuse Oldboy.

Oh I don't comment on every one of your troll posts, just the most asinine ones... get over yourself.

I pre-ordered too... I'm still going to try to get this off Amazon since I have $250+ in rewards points there.

Actually I think OldBoy's question is totally fair.
Answer, for me, is that yes, I know he price and the specs. But I'm not 100% sure I need the upgrade; especially since I don't own a 4K TV in my man-cave. My XO doesn't get a lot of use. But it is running sluggish sometimes. It sometimes needs a hard reboot to start up. It may be on its last legs. If it dies soon I will certainly need a new system. Otherwise I'd like to see how it performs in real-world testing to see if I really "need" it.
One thing that seems pretty certain is that if I want a Project Scorpio Edition I had better preorder it now to keep my options open. I can always cancel or return it later. If I sit out now, I would certainly miss this Special Edition console.

Already "sold out" on amazon.com. That'll change a bit as pre-orders are cancelled, more stock gets added, etc.
Edit: when I initially ordered on Best Buy, I didn't see a Store Pick-up option (maybe I just went to quickly), so I chose Free Shipping.
Anyway, I was able to update my order to Store Pick-up just now.

I had $220.00 dollars in store credit at GameStop. I used it to get my pre-order in for the Xbox One X! Finally! I'm glad I was able to snag one before they sold out.

I went to the local GameStop and pre-ordered, since I had credit to apply. The clerk said they were allotted 14 for pre-order.
I don't really care about the "Project Scorpio" embellishments, or the stand since I don't use the console vertical.
He said all of the initial launch units were that model so I guess similar to the Day One Xbox One.
