As we reported yesterday, Microsoft's Xbox One X is now available to pre-order at long last, with a special Day One Edition also being available, including green lettering and unique design features, however, scalpers have already emerged online, selling their pre-orders for a high markup.

Some examples of this can be found on places like eBay, where one Day One Edition pre-order was going for $1,499 USD, with $64.10 postage on the console. This isn't new, as this has happened in the past with limited stock consoles like the SNES Mini, although with those eBay took a stand against it, so it remains to be seen if they'll do the same for the Xbox One X.

Have you spotted any scalpers online yet?
