The Xbox 25th Anniversary Combo is on sale for $900, but the transparent green color is actually not the original appearance

Xbox's 25th Anniversary Combo is now available for pre-order, priced at $899, but currently only the "most die-hard players" who have received the notification letter can place an order first, and the rest will have to wait until 10 a.m. (Eastern Time) on August 27 to join the battle. The package includes a limited edition translucent green Xbox Series X console, a wireless controller of the same color, and a digital download version of "Halo: Campaign Evolved".

The spread is the focus of this discussion. The regular version of the Series If you don’t want to buy the controller as a set, you can buy it individually for $80. Xbox also announced that it would cooperate with a number of accessory manufacturers to launch peripheral products to celebrate the console's 25th birthday.

The shipping date is set for November 15th, which is almost the same day that the original Xbox console was launched 25 years ago. The arrangement of this time point shows the sense of ceremony that the brand wants to achieve.

However, Engadget reported that there is a discrepancy worth pondering: the original Xbox console and controller, which came out in 2001, were actually all black with only some slight green accents, not transparent green. What really made the transparent green color a memory symbol of Xbox was the special edition console launched in 2004. However, a group of team members who participated in the original design received a transparent green console in 2001 with the autograph of Bill Gates on it - these "prototypes" actually appeared earlier than the later official version.

In other words, this 25th anniversary combination actually pays tribute to the brand image that was formed later, rather than the original version 1.0. The material does not mention sales information and exact pricing conversions in Taiwan or Asia.
