Following Burberry (LSE:BRBY.L +2.69%) ’s recent announcement that it’ll launch a multi-faceted collaboration with Minecraft, the pair have now revealed they are also joining forces with Xbox to redesign its iconic console.

The limited-edition Minecraft x Burberry Xbox arrives in line with the wider collaborative offering which sees the British fashion house take the gaming universe with Burberry: Freedom to Go Beyond as well as a capsule collection inspired by the immersive adventure. Incorporating its heritage pattern: the Nova check, the brand continues to mold its identity around the digital aesthetic with the exclusive console and matching control pad design. Adding a special touch, the Xbox is cased in a one-off packaging with a Minecraft-inspired pixelated arrangement that adopts the check’s brown tones.


With the exclusive console limited to only 50 pieces, Xbox have given fans the chance to win the Nova check-wrapped box in a competition giveaway. To be in with a chance of winning the exclusive Minecraft x Burberry Xbox and to receive exclusive in-game items and personalized email updates about the world of Burberry, visit Burberry’s website and sign up before 21st November.


No purchase necessary, Ts&Cs apply, view them here. Prize draw ends 10am GMT on Nov 21 2022; residents of UK and Canada (excluding Quebec) only; consenting to receiving Burberry marketing material is a condition of entry.

Go to this page in the UK or Canada version of the site to signup for the giveaway, https://us.burberry.com/l/new-in/mi...minecraft_collection#/shop-the-collaboration/

This is an unusual partnership. The Burberry Minecraft partnership has already raised some questions about design and prices of the clothing products produces from the partnership.

For example this minecraft shirt costs $1000

This White T-shirt with barely visible minecraft shape costs $570

However, at least for UK and Canadian residents, they can participate in the custom Series S giveaway without having to make a purchase and just signing up with is unusual for their larger tier partnerships, so I would take advantage of this because who knows how much that Burberry Series S will be worth. Or maybe you want to put it on display,

Chavtastic.

First Balenciaga x Fortnite now this trash.

 

[waquzy]

Chavtastic.

Would have been better with Stone Island

 

[Kenneth Haight]

LITERALLY the most disgusting console I have ever seen

£1000 for a jumper

 

[ReBurn]

First time I've been happy to not be eligible for a giveaway.

 

[bentanchorbolt]

I don’t understand the appeal but maybe I’m not meant to.

 

[Captain Toad]

That's turribul. Jus turribul.

 

[tommib]

That’s worst than the GOW tribal tattoos. Possibly the most horrendous looking console I’ve seen. And the S is so cute and portable and cool. Why do this to such a cute console.

And the controller takes the cake.

 

[jm89]

Burberry for the kanye wannabes.

[funkygunther]

Looks wack, I love it

[Mattyp]

The only decent cross over recently has been LV x Nike but could never secure a pair against the bots which is absolute fucking bullshit and I’m still mad about it.

Gucci & North Face 2nd Gen goes alright to.

 

[Dane]

Why not blue like The Preps from Bully?

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

Just my luck to win one of these puke enducing things.

That is effing rank!

 

[SJRB]

Xbox partners with luxury apparel brand Burberry

Xbox Series S consoles based on Minecraft.​

For example this minecraft shirt costs $1000

This White T-shirt with barely visible minecraft shape costs $570

 

[CeeJay]

WTH!

Minecraft is all about being accessible and running on low powered hardware and is mainly aimed at young kids. How the hell does this collaboration make any sense?

This is not an accessible product for 99.99% of the Minecraft target audience although I expect we will also see several notable Minecraft streamers wearing this shit that they got sent for free. Anyone who is willing to spend this much money on casual wear deserves to be parted from their money.

 

[Nitty_Grimes]

 

[Jennings]

This is pretty cool, because nothing represents luxury like the Series S.

 

[SmokedMeat]

The controller looks better than the Forza one.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

This is an unusual partnership. The Burberry Minecraft partnership has already raised some questions about design and prices of the clothing products produces from the partnership.

Burberry is a luxury brand aka charging you 10 times more for 10-20% improvement over a premium brand. How is any of that a surprise in 2022?

 

[Rykan]

The Xbox Series S is truly the first thing that comes to mind when I think of luxury apparel.

 

[AJUMP23]

Luxury brand and chooses Series S......

 

[Ghost of Caelid]

The shirt is pretty cool. Might engage in some consumerism for that.

 

[SportsFan581]

I guess the value would be in the fact that there are only 49 other consoles like it. It's fugly though, to be sure.

 

[kuncol02]

LITERALLY the most disgusting console I have ever seen

£1000 for a jumper

It's not that bad when compared to ugliest ones. You should check Forza Horizon 3 xboxes.

 

[SirTerry-T]

Maxwell Jacob Friedman approved.

 

[Valt7786]

Well, at least MS knows the main crowd for the Series S in Britain...>_>

 

[yet_another_alt]

My mom has a purse with that exact same pattern.

 

[STARSBarry]

these look so fricken stupid lol

Only near 4+ grand for the full set.

Because there was a prize draw? Or because you didn't see the date of the OP?

[Wandering Leopard]

Burberry are a luxury brand, but then why go with the cheaper console.

 

[jaysius]

I can't find any signup for that contest on the Canadian site.

 

[thicc_girls_are_teh_best]

When you have more deals than games...

Spoiler

Sorry I could not stop myself. But you gotta admit they definitely have more sale deals for Series S this year than 1P games released for 2022.

 

[jaysius]

Burberry are a luxury brand, but then why go with the cheaper console.

Yea, a series X done up with that puke style would look more like one of the Minecraft exploding penis things.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

I can't find any signup for that contest on the Canadian site.

You singed up for the site and then accepted that Burberry could bring you marketing material. Then you are automatically enrolled. It's ending soon though, if not already.

Just my luck to win one of these puke enducing things.

Are you saying you won one or are you being sarcastic?

Because if you did that'll be $15,000 in a year or 2 given Burberry prices.

 

[PhaseJump]

Because there was a prize draw? Or because you didn't see the date of the OP?

No, it ended soon before my post and the thread was still being bumped. It suddenly serves no clear purpose other than to capture people's email info without clearly stating that the contest is over.

It's an ugly as fuck console and belongs in hell. and I'm sure you'll find 1000 other little bullshit things to spam new threads about.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

It's an ugly as fuck console and belongs in hell. and I'm sure you'll find 1000 other little bullshit things to spam new threads about.

So yes, you didn't pay attention to when the thread is posted, and came here to complain about nothing (only to my thread to not the others how curious).

Nothing new, feel free to contribute next time instead of you're constant confrontational rants.

 

[DeepEnigma]

They couldn't even do the high end X for the "high end" brand.

"Complain about nothing"

Dude, I'm Canadian and I looked at this thread you didn't link properly to. Jumped through hoops to find the details of it, and linked the message stating that the contest is over. You provided no details on the actual contest.

And now you're implying I'm complaining about nothing? Fuck you. You are a waste of time. I'm here doing everybody interested the favor of stating that it's over. I'm joking that this belongs in hell, because it's ugly.

My "contribution" here was the actual details of the time the contest was valid. If only so nobody should have to look at your shit link, and convert it to the Canadian one, and then go through the terms and conditions links. It's over. Don't bother.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

Dude, I'm Canadian and I looked at this thread you didn't link properly to.

I linked directly to the article.

You provided no details on the actual contest.

The details were in the OP quote you didn't read. Even the part you're referring to is at the bottom of the quote.

And now you're implying I'm complaining about nothing? Fuck you. You are a waste of time. I'm here doing everybody interested the favor of stating that it's over.

It wasn't when the OP was posted.

Like I said all over nothing.

Also yes, I agree it's not the best looking custom console. Then again custom consoles this gen have been bad so far overall imo.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

They couldn't even do the high end X for the "high end" brand.

To be fair it's part of the Minecraft collaborations, and that game can run on toasters that are the opposite of luxury.

 

[PhaseJump]

I threw a message here after it was over and still being bumped. Now I'm having my responses broken down line by line.

This guy spams threads a billion times a day on the same subject, and implies people are disingenuous, or tells them what they are really saying or thinking.
As if that's not some form of fucked up trolling.

 

[Eddie-Griffin]

This guy spams threads a billion times a day on the same subject,

Lying doesn't change the fact you didn't read the IP and accused me of not linking right when I linked directly to the article, and that I didn't have details in the OP when they were in the quote you forgot to read.

 

[Big Baller]

Goes well with my Gucci SX
