The arrival of a new console generation always brings with it some personalised consoles, especially when celebrities are involved, and musician Deadmau5 is one of the lucky ones to have been chosen this time around.
He unveiled the system on his Instagram (which you can see below), also revealing that he'll be giving away a signed controller and six months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate to fans in the near future.
This isn't the first time Deadmau5 (real name Joel Zimmerman) has been affiliated with Xbox, taking part in a PAX East PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds event a couple of years ago, which you can see in the image above.
We've also seen Snoop Dogg getting in on the Xbox Series X action in recent weeks, being one of just a handful of people to have received the massive Series X fridge, filled with a bunch of Xbox related goodies.
What do you think of Deadmau5's Xbox Series X? Let us know down below.

Deadmau5 is a legend.
I’m not jealous as I’ve pre ordered a series x.
But for others that don’t get one it does boil my blood that Xbox 24/7 loyal gamers for decades don’t even get the chance to buy the new console.
Let alone millionaire stars getting given them.
@Xiovanni
He got a big fridge as well.
Just gets me a lot of the star millionaires probably don’t play that much and won’t be buying games and game pass etc.
Folks it's marketing. In today's world tv ads are useless...it's all about social media and having a celebrity with a ***** ton of followers post your product is massive. As i understand it all launch console pre-orders sell out historically with people being left out.
@Dezzy70
I completely agree. I hate this kind of nonsense too. When a system is in such short supply, giving it to rich celebrities is annoying & pointless. What about the loyal fans who can’t find or afford one?
And what is the point of the marketing bump by giving it to some celebrity, if the mass public can’t buy the new console anyways because they can’t find it?
And I have never even heard of this “Deadmau5” person. 🙄
@KelticDevil
I guess it’s all part of the marketing campaign, the part I don’t like.
However lots of adverts on the TV in the UK for the system which is good publicity.
Though they need to keep it up for when more stock arrives as that is when the general public can see the advert then go buy a series console.
Also I heard other European counties that have stock of the series x, maybe due to less popular in those countries should be shipped to the UK etc have the plug changed, 3 pin and sell them where they are wanted.
Yes, people will be left out at launch, but a bunch of people will be back week after week after week after week, because <insert celebrity> is showing their new toy, and got a large segment of the population interested.
