This still won't get people to buy an Xbox.

Are limited edition consoles "out" these days? Like... where are the special designs?
Only the Switch is doing some good ones.
(Looks at the Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom OLED Switch.)

Oh, I thought this was going to be a customized console. Feels like a missed opportunity.

the halo series x is beautiful but I was worried Diablo 4's aesthetic would produce something tacky. Probably for the best it's just a regular console!

Nice little $10 in savings, guess they're gonna try and get as many sales as possible before going to gamepass with D4

This could have potentially been a great limited console, even simply making a crimson red console with a matching controller. Boo!

The Series X problem isn't that it doesn't sell. The issue is MS isn't making nearly enough.

Nice attempt tho.

Not to flame the console wars but it is readily available in Europe for delivery right now and it has been for months most of the time. I could order one from Amazon.de with delivery tomorrow if I didn't already have one. You can also find it at retailers. It's not sold out at all here.

They're almost certainly putting out a special Starfield console, so having another special console 3 months beforehand wouldn't be a good idea. Good normal bundle though.

Maybe this is what they've been holding back stock for? Lol, hopefully people can actually buy this one. Game is going to be massive.

Don't worry guys, you can get a customized Diablo Xbox. It'll just be a Xbox Series S and it'll be a giveaway on their Twitter.

Ah, thought the console would get a special design. Would have bought it to swap with my current Series X.

Let's hope that MS/Xbox can produce lots of em because that bundle has the potential for huge sales numbers.

I understand they probably didn't want to do a custom console for this (assuming one will come for Starfield), but a Diablo controller would've been cool

Even tho I'm happy with my Halo XSX, I was hoping to see a cool Diablo XSX, not just a bundle.

Hopefully they'll do one for Starfield

Series S is easy to find in EU, but series X is almost impossible except if you are OK to pay for the bundle with FH5 or from a scalper (which are the only solutions you have on amazon.de since mid december, when it was available for only 2 weeks).

I guess that this bundle will replace the FH5 and will be the only way to have an XsX.

Man, even just black a big ol' mug of Lillith on the front would have been cool. Then pack in a Red controller.

That is disappointing. I got a Halo Series X and it looks pretty good in my entertainment center. Everytime I go over to my buddies house that has a normal black Series X I am just like ughh it is just so boring. When I heard rumors of a Diablo bundle I was curious to see what kind of crazy console design they had, and nope, they are going with just slapping a different box slip over a normal system.

a shame that zero effort was put into this. Starfield better have a themed console/controller.

At least they're bundling it with a new game and not a year+ one that's on Game Pass (don't get me wrong, FH5 is amazing but when they're trying to push Game Pass on folks having it included is a waste of the extra $60 they're charging).
