Let me state two things regarding Microsoft: it’s an expert in creating tech products and services, but a big joke in producing clothing products. The company continues to release new ideas and garments. A new offering for its loyal fans is the a Hoody jacket. It looks exquisitely cool as it boasts the Xbox logo and elements, but it won’t fit you, even your one-year-old self. Well, that’s because the cool hoody is not for you… but for your Xbox controller.
It’s quite ridiculous for anyone to buy a hoody for their Xbox controller, and yet, here is Microsoft, offering a black or white variation of the garment for the gaming peripheral. While it won’t be anything useful for a person, it can be a fun gift idea this Christmastide, especially if you have a friend or a relative who owns an Xbox Series X|S controller. With the increasing number of Game Pass subscribers, Sony has made it easier to gift this item. revealedThe hoody has been selling like hotcakes. Redmond has announced that the first batch mini controller hoodies have sold out. The next batch will be delivered mid-February to those who have placed their orders by December 15.
The hoodie, made entirely of polyester, even has sleeves and a zipper. Although it looks more like any normal cool clothing, the sublimation print design means it won’t fit certain Xbox controllers. In terms of practical use, well, I really don’t think it would be of great help to you or your controller. While it may feel soft in your hands, once the game begins, you will need to remove it from your controller. Apart from its cute appearance, the jacket is only meant to provide protection for your controllers while they are being stored.
The controller hoody costs $24.99 at the moment, which is quite steep for such an unwearable item. Xbox fans (and Microsoft fans in general), however, probably won’t mind it, which is not surprising as Microsoft’s charm extends beyond its tech products and services. Even with absurd clothing ideas that look like a joke, there’s always a market that patronizes them. The proof is in its 2022 – Unbeautiful sweater Even though it was only recently announced by Microsoft, the product has been sold out.
