  1. Is my console a genuine Project Scorpio?


    Hi.

    In 2021 I bought a Xbox One X console, used, through an online listing. I received the console, with a controller, and everything works fine.

    Now I am about to sell it and realized the console I have has a top cover full of dots, with the green Project Scorpio label printed on the front. I had no idea there was a special edition with that and never cared for it. But now, checking prices to list mine, I came to this.

    It came on a regular Xbox One X box (in fact, the serial on the box does not match the serial on the console) and a regular controller, without the Project Scorpio print.

    Another thing that I see is that it has a "service date" sticker on the back, with the year 2019. I understand Project Scorpio was released in 2017.

    So... either:

    - previous owner had an original Project Scorpio console, serviced in 2019, and then sold it on a different box; or

    - it's a regular Xbox One X console, on a different regular box, that was serviced in 2019 and had a Project Scorpio top case installed.

    As far as I could check, there are no differences in the OS version installed and no public lists to check the serial number for that information.

    Any other clue on how I could check if the console is indeed a Project Scoprio special edition or not?

    Thank you.

    :)

    Hello!

    Hope you are well. I'll be glad to assist you.

    I understand the concerns.

    From what you describe, your console may have the Project Scorpio special edition case, but there are some details that raise concerns. The controller and box aren't the original special edition ones, and it has a 2019 service tag, suggesting it may have been repaired and modified.

    Unfortunately, there's no public database to verify by serial number if it's an original Project Scorpio. It likely has the original special edition case, but it's not possible to confirm if the entire console is. If you're going to sell it, it's best to clearly mention this, as collectors will want to have all the original accessories as well.

    I hope the information has been clear, I will be attentive to any questions you may have.

    Best Regards.

    there is no hardware difference, the board is identical to the regular versions, it was just a special case and printing on the controller.

    I have one

    Microsoft should be able to verify it using the serial number.

    But I don't have much faith that any Microsoft employee would check this forum and verify that.

    Thanx anyway.

    You'll find the serial number of the console under settings - system - console info.

    If it fits with the number on the case you should have a Scorpio.

    If you wanna sell it just describe it as honest as possible.
