Hi. Not been paying attention too much to the revealing last night but is the project Scorpio edition better to pre order then the standard. Is it the same or is the Scorpio edition cheaper?.? thanks..

Price is the same, the Scorpio Edition is a limited run. Differences (as far as I know):

- Pad is different: buttons are black, 'Project Scorpio' in Xbox green on the front
- 'Project Scorpio' in Xbox Green on the front of the console
- Comes with a stand
- The texture of the console is different

Whether it's better or not is subjective, I believe so because it should have a better resale value down the line and I personally like the cosmetic differences.

Plus, with it being Limited Edition, it makes me feel special.

Hard to describe it, it looks like a graphite mesh.

I pre ordered mine from amazon but now out of stock. Last consoles there I pre ordered was the 360. The first one came cracked case and 2nd came with 3 red lights. Bought from GAME then and was fine. Hope this isn't the same but at I think amazon gone up in world since then.

Whats the power button like as it looks like the old fashioned switch instead of the tactile.
