Microsoft's Xbox Onesie is real, and you can win one here
When images of the Xbox onesie from Australia hit the web, people went wild. Yeah, it is a silly product, but many fans of Microsoft's gaming consoles expressed desire on social media and web forums. Heck, you can have your gamertag embroidered on it -- how cool is that?
Believe it or not, the article of clothing isn't a hoax, but a real product. While Microsoft isn't selling them to the public, the company will be giving some away. Want to win one? You've come to the right place. Keep on reading for details.
"Ever since the team at Xbox Australia revealed the Xbox Onesie, many fans have been asking how they can get one of these unique and rare Xbox One wardrobe items (myself included). Well, the good news is the team graciously provided me with some to give away", says Larry Hryb, aka Major Nelson.
Hryb further explains, "not just your standard onesie, the Xbox Onesie comes with everything an entertainment enthusiast could need when streaming a favorite TV show or film, watching a sports match or playing the ultimate gaming session. The Xbox Onesie has been custom designed to enhance the entertainment experience".
Major Nelson shares the following benefits of the clothing item.
- Enlarged pockets to fit your Xbox Controller and Media Remotes
- Arm pouch to offer quick and easy access to your mobile phone
- Roll-able legs and arms to cater for all temperatures and seasons
- Forearm grips to prevent slipping on those 'edge of your seat' moments
- Extra-large hood to accommodate headsets for the ultimate gaming sessions
- Customised Gamertag embroidery
While anyone can register for the giveaway, Microsoft warns that some countries will not be eligible -- that will be sorted out later. Depending on where you live, you may be determined to be ineligible after the contest ends. It can't hurt to enter though; what do you have to lose?
The onesie seems to be reserved for the fairly svelte -- small, medium, large, and extra large are the only sizes. Sorry, plus-sized gamers (including yours truly), you may need to drop some pounds in order to fit! Hopefully the XL is roomy. Only two colors are being produced -- black and white.
