Microsoft is presently working a sweepstake competitors for a completely gorgeous Remaining Fantasy 14-inspired console bundle that options a lovely Xbox Sequence X and {custom} Xbox Wi-fi Controller – however there’s an enormous catch.
Buried within the competitors’s prolonged phrases and situations, eagle-eyed entrants have noticed that the console bundle in query isn’t truly practical in any respect. Within the part outlining prize particulars, the “custom-designed Remaining Fantasy 14 Xbox Sequence X console bundle” is described as solely “non-functional” and “for use as an artwork piece” reasonably than enjoying video games.
Bizarrely, the winner may even obtain a separate Xbox Sequence X console bundle – presumably one which works. This comes alongside a duplicate of the Remaining Fantasy 14 On-line Collector’s Version and one 12-month Xbox Sport Cross Final membership in order that they’ll haven’t any scarcity of video games to play. In whole, Microsoft estimates that the mixed retail worth of the prize is $1,319.93 USD.
This inevitably raises the query of what precisely the winner is meant to do with their non-functional Remaining Fantasy 14 Xbox Sequence X. Maybe it is meant to sit down and accumulate mud on a shelf of their gaming cave, or perhaps take delight of place on a pleasant plinth of their lounge.
Both approach, whereas this revelation is undeniably somewhat disappointing, it does make some sense. Judging by the extra summary design of the console, which includes a {custom} golden base and a mattress of glowing blue crystals, it might have in all probability been difficult to drag off the identical impact whereas sustaining the system’s full performance.
Nonetheless, I am left questioning whether or not the {custom} Xbox Wi-fi Controller, which appears pretty normal apart from a novel graphic print on its face plate, can be only a prop.
If you wish to take a shot at profitable this unusual prize, the competitors is presently working over at Twitter / X. Customers can enter by following each the official Xbox and Remaining Fantasy 14 accounts and reposting the unique announcement publish with the hashtag ‘XboxFFXIVSweepstakes’.
