Microsoft has begun taking preorders for a range of products marking 25 years since the original Xbox launched on November 15, 2001.
According to Engadget, the Xbox 25th anniversary bundle features a translucent green Series X console, a matching controller and a digital copy of Halo: Campaign Evolved. The bundle is priced at $900.
Separately, Microsoft has opened preorders for the Designed for Xbox 25th Anniversary Collection, a set of officially licensed peripherals in a translucent "OG Green" finish, as reported by Tom's Hardware. Every item in the collection is produced by a third-party partner rather than Microsoft itself, and the lineup leans toward PC and mobile use. It includes three Razer desktop peripherals, two phone controllers, an 8BitDo charging dock, and a PowerA bag designed to carry the Asus-made ROG Xbox Ally handhelds.
