Microsoft’s official Xbox blog says that all pre-orders placed to date will arrive on doorsteps on August 2, pending regional availability, and pre-orders through Microsoft’s stores and other retailers continue to be on offer, though “availability is limited and demand is high”. While the Crimson Omen and JD Fenix Limited Edition Xbox Wireless Controllers are available to pre-order for $124.99 NZD each, and will be available earlier than the console, as they release on September 23, 2016 – New Zealand prices and dates confirmed via Mighty Ape.

The slimmer, sleeker Xbox One S is coming on August 2nd. While there is some discontent among Xbox owners for launching their exclusives on Windows 10 devices, it is a business strategy that Microsoft has adopted recently. It is not just a great buy for everyone who loves the game franchise but for everyone else who likes to have a unique looking Xbox One S console along with a custom designed controller. Microsoft said the special edition will be available for a limited time while supplies last. Though the game launches on October 11, the special edition buyers will gain early access to the game on October 7.
