Update: If you're in the UK, a brand-new competition has opened up to win one of these via Twitter!
Original story: Back in December, Xbox DACH generated a bit of attention by running a competition to win an Xbox Walkman based on the Xbox Series S, and the device is now slowly starting to go viral on social media.
As you can see from the video below, this is an actual, functioning cassette player, and it even comes with a special Xbox Game Pass cassette filled with tracks from various Xbox and Bethesda titles such as Halo Infinite and Fallout 76.
Unfortunately, as is usually the case with these limited edition giveaways, you can't buy the Xbox Walkman at present. We're willing to bet there would be a pretty big market for these things, but sadly we'll probably never find out.
If you're desperate to get your hands on one, it might be worth keeping yourself glued to the various Xbox social media accounts in your region just in case a new competition pops up, although we've only seen the Xbox DACH one so far, and that was being promoted back in December.
Would you be interested in buying one of these? Tell us down in the comments section below.

@Kaloudz I prefer analogue audio most of the time, personally.
And vinyl records can't really be listened to on the go. Cassette tapes are the best option for that.
VHS is overrated. LaserDisc is where it's at.
Or buy this IKEA laundry cabinet, clearly inspired by two Xboxes on top of each other…

Absolutely not interested... but i'm kinda glad it exists.
Wait, isn't walkman a SONY brand?
@neufel Yeah, they're not officially calling it an "Xbox Walkman".
According to the giveaway, it's a "limited-edition Series S themed cassette player".
@FraserG oh that makes sense, that would have been quite something though!
@FraserG That kills the buzz right there that it's not an official Sony Xbox.
Now it's just a Sony clone....all is right in the world
I mean it'll be some off the shelf, poor quality, tape player with a couple circle decals put on. Best off trying to find a good vintage Walkman.
Not interested, but I would be interested in buying a new game if the Xbox came out with one.
@Romans12 You and everyone else... we get it! You want new AAA games All The Time. This marketing team is clearly not involved with the game-making side of Xbox. Give it a rest on the articles that aren't about a game being delayed, will ya?
