Let me state two things regarding Microsoft: it’s an expert in creating tech products and services, but a big joke in producing clothing products. Microsoft is constantly releasing new designs and entries to its garment line. Its latest offering to its faithful fans is a Hoody jacket. It looks exquisitely cool as it boasts the Xbox logo and elements, but it won’t fit you, even your one-year-old self. Well, that’s because the cool hoody is not for you… but for your Xbox controller.
It’s quite ridiculous for anyone to buy a hoody for their Xbox controller, and yet, here is Microsoft, offering a black or white variation of the garment for the gaming peripheral. While it won’t be anything useful for a person, it can be a fun gift idea this Christmastide, especially if you have a friend or a relative who owns an Xbox Series X|S controller. With the increasing number of Game Pass subscribers, Sony has made it easier to gift this item. revealedIt is easy to see why the hoodie is so popular. Redmond has announced that the first batch mini controller hoodies have sold out. The next batch will be delivered mid-February to those who have placed their orders before December 15.
The hoodie, made entirely of polyester, even has sleeves and a zipper. The hoodie’s sublimation printed design makes it look more like regular cool clothing, but it is only compatible with specific Xbox controllers. In terms of practical use, well, I really don’t think it would be of great help to you or your controller. While it may feel soft in your hands, once the game starts, you will need to remove it from your control board. Apart from its cute appearance, the jacket is only meant to provide protection for your controllers while they are being stored.
The current price for the controller hoody, $24.99 is quite steep for such an unwearable item. Xbox fans (and Microsoft fans in general), however, probably won’t mind it, which is not surprising as Microsoft’s charm extends beyond its tech products and services. Even with absurd clothing ideas that look like a joke, there’s always a market that patronizes them. Its popularity is a proof. 2022 Ugly sweater This product is already in high demand, even though it was announced only recently by Microsoft.
