So when do you think the Xbox one scorpio will actually be available for pre-order on Amazon?

Is there any benefit to not having it available right away?

It still needs to be approved. My guess would probably be sometime around gamescon.

I don't get the approval thing.  The ps4 and xb1 were both availble day one when the conference ended in 2013. Why is it different now?

And I don't recall anyone talking about having to wait for the xbox one s/ps4slim/pro to be approved.

What is required to be approved, and why wasn't that done before E3?

I think it was FCC approval they still needed right? either its takeing longer than they planned, or they didnt file it in time? Otherwise it probably would have been the same this time (ready for pre-order at e3).

 

Also holy hell Horizon Zero dawn has legs, and Crash bandicoot seems to be staying around the top10.

The PS4 and Xbox One were approved before they were announced while the Xbox One X is still in th eporcess.

"While we’re all keen to drop a pre-order on one now, some eager fans noticed on the Xbox site that the Xbox One X “…has not been approved by the Federal Communications Commission…” and that “…it is not for sale until the FCC approval has been obtained”.

So what does this mean? Essentially, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is a regulatory body in the U.S where manufacturers must submit their electrical device for approval before it can be sold. In this instance, Microsoft has yet to receive approval for the Xbox One X, and in turn, cannot sell it right away.

Is this a big deal for the customer and the release date? Not really. It’s not uncommon for manufacturers to announce their products before they receive approval. This is usually to keep a not-yet-announced product secret before it is revealed to the public. An example of this is in late 2014, when Apple revealed the Apple Watch before it received FCC approval. There was no affect to its release date in April 2015"
