Xbox is known for releasing all sorts of "limited-edition" controller and console designs, and the latest one comes from the land down under, Australia.
It's a special "NAIDOC artwork wrapped Xbox Series X" and controller done by Gubbi Gubbi artist Maggie-Jean Douglas, which was this year's prize for the Indigital Minecraft Education Challenge.
"The Indigital Minecraft Education Challenge invites Indigenous and non-Indigenous students from Foundation to Year 10 to discover and explore their local Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural knowledge, histories and languages using Minecraft Education Edition."
NAIDOC stands for "National Aborigines and Islanders Day Observance Committee":
"Its origins can be traced to the emergence of Aboriginal groups in the 1920′s which sought to increase awareness in the wider community of the status and treatment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians."
You can learn more about its history over on the NAIDOC website. Over 200 teachers and 6500 students across 160 schools participated in this year’s challenge and you can see the winning entries on the Indigital Schools website.

I need this. Spectacular.
I have to give kudos to Microsoft ad they are constantly making some cool looking limited editions, no love for the series S though.
I think i maybe in the minority here but the design is ugly.
Hopefully in 12 - 18 months time from now Series x will be more regularly available to buy in stores and there will be some special editions from Capcom and Turn 10 Studios.
Looks awesome. Will make a nice prize for a creative youngster.
Let us buy these as skins because 1)
they're cool and 2) help support a great cause. These look great!
