How crazy is this?! YouTuber Michael Pick now holds the Guinness World Record for the "Largest Xbox Console", which he created in partnership with fellow content creator ZHC, and the amazing part is that it's actually fully functional.
Michael goes into detail about the process of building it in the YouTube video above, where it's explained that a standard Xbox Series X is hidden in the back of the larger design, and there's an elaborate set of mechanisms that ensure that when you press a button on the giant Series X console, it sends a message to the actual Xbox Series X to perform that action, like turning it on or even opening up the disc tray. Very, very cool.
Here's a bit of behind-the-scenes info from the official Guinness World Records website:
"It took about two days to plan everything, and then about a month for the actual construction. The trickiest part of the build was designing and making the glowing Xbox logo. He had to figure out a way to make it glow consistently, while also allowing it to work as a push button. It took a little bit of brainstorming, but he finally figured it out."
The World's Largest Xbox Series X measures over two metres tall and over one metre wide, and weighs 250lbs / 113.4kg. Michael says that, incredibly, it's 600x bigger than the standard version of the Xbox Series X.
So, where does the console live? Well, Michael ended up donating it to the YMCA Youth and Teen Development Center in Atlanta, and you can see a snippet of the kids seeing it for the first time at the end of the video above.
What a great story! Xbox's Aaron Greenberg thinks so too, as he took to Twitter recently to congratulate Michael on the design and for donating it to a good cause.

And they said the Series X would never be as big as PS5!
Part of me is like that is pretty cool. Another part of me is some people have too much time on their hands.
If I was doing this I'd have totally gut the Series X and put some fancy liquid cooler or do submerged cooling with it.
Ha! Cool. Im sure he could make a bundle if he..uhh...bundles this with a series x, the series x mini fridge.
World record other than the standard size system was there really any other competition to be bigger? It not really a world record when no one else is competing to try to do it. Plus you have to pay them to even acknowledge it in the first place.
Pretty cool, almost as big as the original Xbox.
This made me laugh as there was the video doing the rounds the other day about the tiny 2cm thick PS5*. When in fact there was a giant watercooler and power brick added on the floor that was bigger than the normal PS5. This title is far more honest. Should have been "world's largest PS5". lol
100% should have paired it with The Duke controller lol.
Also makes me want to make one double the size of this one...
Just to steal the genuiss world record lol.
