Xbox, under new management, hopes you’ll take a long gander at the limited edition Xbox Series X25’s obscenely green translucent plastic and swoon with a sense of early 2000s nostalgia. The eye-catching colorway is reminiscent of the original Xbox clear green edition that came with Halo 2. (You likely remember it as the console your cousin had that made you so damn jealous.)
This is not a new edition of the $800 Xbox Series X Galaxy Black Edition since it only comes with 1 TB of SSD storage. The only real change to the nearly 6-year-old hardware is the addition of a green light under the big “X” symbol instead of the older white light. The controller has special black-and-white-shaded bumper buttons alongside the classic four-color face buttons. © Xbox The Xbox Wireless Controller X25 Special Edition may be the real reason you should get excited, especially since you don’t need to buy a whole new console to get it. It comes with the same nuclear-toned shell, but what’s even better is the black and white LB and RB bumper buttons, a clear nod to the monochromatic switches on the original Xbox controller. The controller also harkens back to an earlier time with the blue, red, yellow, and green face buttons. Hell, if you want the most obscene puke-green PC setup, you could buy this controller alongside an 8bitDo Retro 87 Mechanical Keyboard – Xbox Edition. I’ll admit, that thought has me ready to drop way too much money for the sake of 2001-era nostalgia.
