Xbox is giving away a custom Sonic the Hedgehog 2 console and fuzzy controllers.
Yes, you read that right. To celebrate Sonic the Hedgehog 2’s theatrical release on April 8, 2022, Microsoft created this themed Xbox Series S, which features Sonic and Knuckles clashing below one of the franchises’ iconic gold rings. Enough about the console, though — it’s the hairy controllers catching everyone’s eye. One is ocean-blue like Sonic, while the other is bright red reminiscent of Knuckles. Deeply unsettling, especially once you read the description.
“With textured coatings reminiscent of the “bristly” texture of hedgehogs in the wild, the new Xbox Wireless Controllers come in Sonic Blue and Knuckles Red,” Marcos Waltenberg, Xbox’s global partnerships director, said in a press release.

Circling back around here, imagine the texture of dried ketchup and other unspeakable sauces scraping across your palms while playing Halo Infinite or Elden Ring. Ok, I’ll stop.
