Xbox One X preorders suffer delays across UK on launch day

Microsoft may have delivered a powerful console, but UK fans buying through Amazon could be waiting a little longer.

Microsoft's latest video games console, the Xbox One X, has released worldwide, delivering 4K HDR gaming to the masses in a $499 package. While passionate fans are already hands-on after midnight launches across the globe, a majority of preorders are now being shipped to homes throughout release day. However, for those who purchased from Amazon UK, console shipments are looking a little later than desired.

Amazon customers have voiced complaints after dispatch delays across the UK (via Eurogamer), with some set to receive Xbox One X consoles later this week. Despite having reserved consoles when preorders first went live in August, many are only now being notified of setbacks on launch day.

Delays appear to center around preorders for the "Project Scorpio" variant of the console – a limited edition design made available for those who preordered early. In an email sent to some Amazon UK customers on the morning of November 7, the company has cited potential stock issues as a cause for the hold-up.
