Xbox has announced a new special edition controller, and this time it's edible
Life is like a box of chocolates
Xbox is pretty consistent with its collaborations to bring special edition hardware to the table. Earlier this year we saw hot pink controllers for the release of Barbie and a pizza-scented controller to coincide with the release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, but the company's newest collaboration is one you might want to sink your teeth into.
To celebrate the release of Wonka on December 15, Xbox has teamed up with Warner Bros. Pictures to create a Wonka-themed Xbox Series X console, controller, and set of chocolates. The console takes the form of a Wonka-branded chocolate bar complete with gold Wonka branding on the front, and the accompanying controller is a burgundy color to match Wonka's coat.
These aren't the only elements of the collaboration; as a brand first, an entirely edible solid chocolate Xbox controller wrapped in golden foil has been created to go alongside the console.
But this collection of goodies isn't available to buy, and in true Xbox sweepstakes fashion, the console and its accessories are only available as a prize for a competition being hosted on Twitter. To enter, you will need to follow Xbox on Twitter and retweet the Xbox Wonka Sweepstakes announcement which can be found below:
