Not sure if it will prove to be worthwhile, but if you are planning on getting one from Gamestop, you may wish to wait a few days (from their website):
Visit gamestop.com/xboxonex to tune in to Xbox at gamescom live stream for exciting Xbox One X pre-order details, on August 20, 2PM CT. Exclusive GameStop Trade offer announcements to follow.

Oh no. Definitely wait until pre-orders are live. The value of the One S isn't going to tank on Sunday just because of the One X.

I would be surprised if Gamestop offered more than $150 for the OG X1.

I'm voting $75-$100

Damn... That seems like wishful thinking to me. I'm not expecting more than $100 for the OG X1, and no more than $150-$200 for the One S based on the memory size.
This seems right on the money for 500Gb and 1Tb systems.

I might be TOO hyped for this console, but want my official prediction to be that the big news/surprise from Sunday is NOT the preorders going live, it is pushing up the release date roughly one month to early October. It makes complete sense now that Crackdown has missed.
They can make 4k Forza their lunch title, and get out ahead of the following blockbuster releases:
Assassin's Creed Origins
Wolfenstein 2
Battlefront 2
COD: WW2.
This is an absolutely crucial time for pulling people that want a more true 4k console gaming experience into the mix for arguably the biggest releases of the year! I am interested enough to wait until the original release day to play these games, but it means several of them will have to wait until after the holidays as I inevitably obsess over COD. Anyways, just my prediction.

I don't want to get myself too hyped about that possibility, but I think what you listed above would be incredibly smart of them. Push the launch up by two weeks and they'd be out before all of those games.
They are currently offering $150 for the OG when traded in towards a Switch...

I'm guessing my preorder at Mediamarkt won't change one bit. They'll probably just now officially move my name into the real preorder list I guess. Don't think I have to go to the store or anything.
They don't offer a trade in program though and it remains to be seen if Nedgame and Gamemania do in Holland. If they do I may have to cancel my preorder at Mediamarkt after all. All remains to be seen. Of course I could sell my current Xbox for like 150 to Nedgame now but I don't want to be Xbox One-less until November.

WOW! If I weren't keeping it, I'd consider taking advantage of that with the remaining post XBOX One X pre-order credit I have left.
Hmmm.. Tom Warren hinting at a free game included?

How on earth do you get this out of that tweet?
Yes, but you will get taxed on your order even if using trade credit.

Yeah sorry, I tried to embed the reply tweet but fucked up!

Tom warren doesn't work for MS. This is essentially a "leak"
Thats fine. I wont be able to get to a GameStop on Sunday my trade credit wont cover the system plus tax. So as long as I can apply the credit and cover the rest with a credit card Im cool.

Ah, no worries! I didn't know there was more to that tweet. A free game would certainly be nice! I can either see Assassin's Creed, as they've done bundles with that series in the past, or Shadow of War. Personally I'd rather Shadow of War as I want to play it but don't have plans to purchase right away!

or PUBG, would be cool to see if you get a choice of a free game

Kind of like the deleted Gamestop tweet. Nice. Good thing MS isn't a ship company.
Yeah, I plan on picking up both of the above so would be very happy if they threw one in free! watch it be Recore though (if true), which I already own ha ha!

I really hope that GameStop does a preorder purchase of only 50 dollars instead of 100 like they sometimes do.
why? who cares if you're going to buy it anyway.
Well I think that Shadow of War will be the main $249 Xbox S bundle for the holiday season, so I could see Assassins creed being the game bundles with the X( as well as a month of gamepass with both). Bundling PUBG is risky because unless you have a 100% guarantee that it's gonna work and not have issues like other game preview games, I don't think it's a good idea for a bundle. It would be a good essential to buy the console but I don't want a broken game
I would be surprised if they offered a free game, but stranger things have happened. Maybe as some sort of goodwill gesture due to all the negative press lately?
If they do, I could see them going the same route as they did a few years ago (when Destiny launched) where you could choose any game up to $59.99.
I mean they haven't had a standalone bundle since launch tbh. Sony didn't include a game with the Pro but I don't see MS not including some kind of game
The UK launch had FIFA (digital) included at no extra.
It closes up that price gap pretty nicely!

PUBG bundle with the One X would be the one thing that could make an actual impact on sales.

Because I can spare 50 now. 100 is a bit harder.
I'm not as rich as some of y'all are.
PUBG is Microsoft's killer app. It will be HUGE for the console.
Same here. I just quote them and change http to https then preview it to see them. Tom Warren says the pre-orders will go live after Gamescom conference and maybe hints that there might be a free game packed in.

LOL, continually gaming and loving tech/media for over 30 years has helped me stay at a reasonable poor as hell level of comfort.
I've made some interesting life choices.
