Xbox fans who want to eat their controllers probably have serious mental issues, but maybe not anymore, as Microsoft has announced that it is giving away the first-ever official edible Xbox Controller as part of a new sweepstakes.
This controller, which happens to be made of 100% pure chocolate, is part of a new promotion that was launched to celebrate Wonka, the new movie from Warner Bros. Pictures that swaps Gene Wilder for Timothée Chalamet in the titular role.
Xbox is also introducing a one-of-a-kind Xbox Series X console as part of the contest, although it, unlike the controller, is not designed to be eaten—at least, not officially:
A special Wonka chocolate bar-inspired Xbox Series X bundled with a unique console display modelled after the magic of Willy Wonka’s iconic chocolate store. While the console may look like one of Wonka’s famous chocolate bars, the Wonka-inspired Xbox Series X is not edible.
Here are all of the prizes that Microsoft is offering, per the T&C:
- An Xbox Series X Custom Console inspired by Wonka artwork. Approximate Retail Value (ARV) $440.00 USD.
- A Standard Black Xbox Wireless Controller. Approximate Retail Value (ARV) $59.99 USD.
- A Custom Wonka Inspired Storefront Console stand and Display. Approximate Retail Value (ARV) $100.00 USD.
- A Custom Wonka Inspired Xbox Wireless Controller. Approximate Retail Value (ARV) $59.99 USD.
- A three (3)-Month subscription to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate. Approximate Retail Value (ARV) $29.99 USD
- An Edible Chocolate Xbox Controller. Approximate Retail Value (ARV) $50.00 USD.
- An Edible Chocolates Bundle. Approximate Retail Value (ARV) $50.00 USD.
And here’s how to enter the sweepstakes, which starts at 6:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PT) on Monday, November 13th, 2023, and ends at 8:00 p.m. PT on Thursday, December 14th, 2023:
