Looks like Marvel is giving Generation X the "Marvel Classic" treatment, the first volume comes out in December. I like that Marvel is reprinting the older material, but I wish the Classics titles were less expensive or released as an Essentials volume -- I suspect that the reason they are not is probably due to the fact that most of the "Classics" stuff is post 1970's, when rights issues between writer/artist/inker/etc and the company changed. So royalties and such need to be meted out and it's probably more cost effective for Marvel to release them like that and see what the market for reprints are like for stuff that they would have to pay out more money in royalties for.

That said, I never really got into Gen X, I think the only thing I ever really read was the Phalanx Covenant cross-over, and the odd one or two issues around Onslaught... Most of my comic book money was going on the "Top shelf" X-titles at the time. It would be great to read the series now actually.
