Microsoft has begun preparing for the upcoming big anniversary of the Xbox – 20 years since the release of its very first game console.
The original Xbox began shipping on November 15, 2001. For the anniversary, Microsoft has introduced special editions of branded accessories. The highlight of the announcement was the transparent 20th Anniversary Special Edition Xbox Wireless Controller.
As Microsoft explains, the controller’s design with translucent inserts is inspired by the original Xbox Debug for developers. Silver-plated internal components can be seen in every detail through the translucent black body of the controller. The green Xbox button also refers to the first Xbox logo. The grips and the hybrid cross are decorated in the same classic color.
The company is now accepting pre-orders for the 20th Anniversary Special Edition Xbox Wireless Controller priced at $ 69.99 in the US. Open sales will begin on November 15th. By connecting such a controller to the set-top box, the user will have access to the 20th Anniversary dynamic theme. In Russia, the controller will also start selling on November 15 at the recommended retail price of 5999 rubles.
The second novelty is the Xbox Stereo Headset, also with translucent accents and bright green accents. Sales will begin on November 15 at a price of $ 69.99, the price for Russia has not yet been announced.
