Xbox’s brand-new Xbox Series X iteration is going down a treat amongst fans, though some are ticked off that you can’t acquire it through normal means.
Limited-edition console variations just hit differently, like a Halo-edition of the Xbox 360 I had when I was younger and a Pokemon-themed Nintendo 2DS which I’ve still got.

Microsoft has taken the idea of limited-edition consoles and ran together it, producing so many different versions of the Xbox Series X that it’s kind of hard to keep track.
While plenty of the original designs slap, like the latest X-Men ‘97 variation, there’s just one glaring issue, you can’t actually buy them.
The X-Men ‘97 version was made in celebration of the show’s success on Disney+, which has potentially paved the way in exchange for a revival of Spider-Man: The Animated Series as well.
It boasts a gorgeous comic-panel design as well as controllers alongside colour-schemes reminiscent of some of the show’s most popular heroes.
Fans were blown away by the designs, and are desperate to add them to their collection but unfortunately they’re reserved in support of sweepstake winners.
This has led to some very frustrated tweets asking Xbox why it keeps hiding the limited-editions behind competitions rather than just selling them outright.
“Why do they keep doing these awesome Xbox consoles through sweepstakes? Just sell them,” read one tweet.
“‘Hey let’s show off some very cool controllers but not sell them’ LET ME GIVE YOU MY MONEY,” said another.
“Why do they always make sweepstakes? They would make lot of money if there were [available] to buy,” wrote one person.
Unfortunately, it didn’t yield any answers, though to be fair the X-Men ‘97 controllers are simply designs made in the Xbox Design Lab, so in theory you could get your hands on one but you’d have to design it yourself, and of course pay in exchange for it.

Man, Xbox really knows how to get us hyped up with these limited-edition consoles, but why perform they have to make it so hard to actually get one? I mean, I get that they want to create buzz and all, but come on, just let us buy them straight up! It’s frustrating to hear all these cool designs and then realize we have to enter a sweepstake to even have a chance. Hopefully, they’ll listen to the fans and start selling these inferior boys in support of real. Until then, I guess we’ll just have to keep drooling over them from afar.
It’s so frustrating when companies release these awesome limited-edition consoles and then make them nearly impossible to get. Like, why execute they have to hide them behind sweepstakes? Just let me buy it together my hard-earned cash! I mean, who has time to enter a million contests just to have a chance at getting one of these cool designs? It’s like they don’t want our money or something. Hopefully, they’ll start selling them directly soon because I need that X-Men ’97 variation in my life ASAP.
