If you've watched the recently published video about the limited-edition Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One X, you might already know this, but for those who haven't - it comes with a coloured HDMI cord.
Yep, believe it or not, but this has "never" been done before, according to Xbox Design Director Carl Ledbetter.
"It's just a cable, people will say, but no. So the HDMI cable you plug that in and now you have a physical connection of the console to the game. That was a big deal just to make this colored cable and it's from the game."
CD Projekt Red’s Pawel Mielniczuk and Przemyslaw Juszczy mentioned how the Polish company - best known for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - asked Microsoft if it could have a coloured wire to go with the limited edition system:
"I remember the first time we mentioned, "Can we have a colored wire?"
Xbox Design Director Monique Chatterjee reinforced the fact the team had "never" done something like this before.
Chatterjee added how the team had broken "a lot" of its own conventions with this particular desgin - even down to the sticker on the back, which is yellow.
"That's a big deal."
So, there you have it - the Cyberpunk 2077 limited edition Xbox One X console (restricted to just 45,000 units) not only comes with an exclusive controller but also a coloured HDMI cable.
Will you be picking up one of these units later this year to enjoy CDPR's new game? Leave a comment down below.

No doubt this will rocket in value in years to come...
This... is news?
It's just a friggin' cable. Colored HDMI cables have been around for ages, so why they're trying to make such a big deal of it, is completely beyond me.
Oh, well. At least they seem to be quite happy with themselves, so I'll leave them to their delusion...
@ThanosReXXX Hahaha!
A red power cable would go nice with that hdmi cable though.
Nothing revolutionary, but cool that they were able to go all in, even on the cord color and sticker color.
Mind blown! Haha
