Xbox made a five-foot alligator that ate an Xbox Series X: How to win the Xbox Series X-BITE

I've covered some seriously weird products over the years. Have I been somewhat numbed by Minion WiFi routers and Pikachu sneakers? Without a doubt, but it's honestly reassuring that I still possess the capacity to be shocked. I still take a moment to pause when I come across a fully functioning Xbox Series X console encased inside a five-foot alligator. That pause reminds me that I'm human. The Xbox Series X-BITE is a 1-of-1 console that sits embedded directly in the reptile's torso, visible only through a glowing green Xbox Nexus logo cut into the scales on its flank. A matching bite-marked wireless controller rests between its jaws, and the gator is completed by Xbox-green irises and Nexus-inspired pupils.

I want this console intensely. But also, I want to be very far away from it at all times.Microsoft isn't actually selling this beast. Instead, they are giving away the console via a social media sweepstakes running through Nov. 10.
