Aside from the standard Microsoft engraving found in each console, every unit also contains a tiny cartoon Master Chief from Halo. "So what? Every Xbox One S has a Master Chief!" you may say… but hold on. This Master Chief is riding a scorpion and is stamped into each console as a nod to the Xbox One X's "Project Scorpio" codename.

While it's unlikely many future Xbox One X owners will get to see it given the fact that opening the housing voids the warranty, you'll always know it's there. There's some satisfaction in that at least.

You can see it in the video here below.

The Xbox One X launches on November 7, 2017 and is the most powerful console ever made. The device features 6 TFLOPS of processing power and 12 GB of GDDR5 RAM. In addition to that, the Xbox One X also contains a 4K Blu-ray player and offers a faster hard drive. For those looking to make the most of their gaming experience—no matter if it's the desire for higher resolutions or more stable frame rates—the console is the device for you. And hey, it comes with a mini Chief engraving.

The Xbox One X is currently available to preorder for $499 or equivalent depending on your region. The console is launching simultaneously worldwide so chances are you'll be able to find it in your region on November 7.
