I got the Ori and the Will of the Wisps custom Xbox One X today!

[RedStep]

Not much to discuss here but during the Extra Life Xbox Livestream / Telethon I tossed in a donation. Mostly to help a good cause, but I don't mind seeing my name up in lights either...

I got an email a few weeks ago from Justin Robey letting me know I won the console! I didn't believe it until the thing showed up today. It's shiny and beautiful in person - I don't want to touch/use it so it doesn't get busted but it also doesn't do anybody any good in a box! Maybe I can contact the Smithsonian and get one of those secured glass cases with lasers and stuff...

Thanks to the Xbox team - they've always been awesome to work with and continue to head in the right direction.

That... is gorgeous.

 

[Smurf]

damn, that's really nice. Congrats op

 

[Phoenix Splash]

Congrats! Honestly, I'd really get something to protect the console's color, but I have no idea about how that works. Is there any official protection glass for the consoles or something? Never looked up for it.

How does the controller feel, btw? It look so shiny... but also so coool

 

[Deleted member 36578]

Thanks! It is VERY custom (aka somebody spent a lot of time on it) so there's a nice coat of what appears to be protectant over the console and the controller. It feels good, but fingerprints like a mother. I took a microfiber cloth to it after about 5 seconds of looking at it.

 

[Elixist]

Maybe Borman would be the one to ask for tips on keeping a console like that in top form over time.

 

[Deleted member 28815]

Damn, that's nice. How does it taste?

All we know is that it is the next MS published game to release after Crackdown 3.

"We're going to get it out early (October 2nd) and before the blast radius," Greenberg says. "Then we didn't need Crackdown or any of our titles in this holiday window. We're planning to launch that in February, and then after that we will launch Ori and the Will of the Wisps. We like to have a steady cadence of content throughout the year. But there is more than enough content this holiday. That's why we're working with so many third-party partners to showcase their games and help drive our platform during that window. I can't think of a holiday that had more AAA games in such a tight time period."

The simple answer is don't use it. Keep it away from dust, finger prints, etc. There is no reason to use a limited console like this if you can afford not to. There simply is no way to preserve it as is.

Custom cases are hard to make and expensive. If you really want to display it, there are plenty of diorama cases and that sort of thing. That is the cheap option. A lot of Ikea furniture and similar allow dust to creep in over time. The downside is it isn't going to offer any really protection past that.

My contest The Division console lives in its box away from dust and light for the time being.

 

[weebro]
