Xbox has a long history of making novelty consoles, and the latest one you'll get to enjoy is the chocolate bar Xbox Series X inspired by the upcoming Wonka movie (https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2023/11/13/xbox-wonka-chocolate-controller/).
The Wonka Xbox is designed to look like a delectable chocolate bar straight out of the fictional chocolatier's factory. It comes bundled with a display that looks like the front of Willy Wonka's whimsical store.
Despite how delectable it looks, you can't sink your teeth into the console, though Xbox has come up with ways to satisfy your sweet tooth. There's also an Xbox controller (https://www.destructoid.com/review-meet-the-new-xbox-elite-series-2-controller-not-quite-the-same-as-the-old-xbox-elite/) that is 100% edible. It comes in a gold wrapper and is accompanied by 5 chocolate truffles themed around gaming.

Xbox goes bonkers for Wonka
Taking inspiration from Roald Dahl's iconic children's tale, you'll have to enter a competition for the chance to score a Wonka Xbox. To do so, simply follow Xbox on Twitter and retweet the competition announcement with the hashtag #XboxWonkaSweepstakes. It appears that this will be your only shot at a chocolate Xbox (https://www.xbox.com/en-US/promotions/sweepstakes/wonka-and-xbox-series-x-custom-console-sweepstakes), as the prizes are "limited to sweepstakes only ? not available for retail."

The chocolate console isn't where the Xbox and Wonka collaboration ends. As the announcement reveals, the Microsoft Experience Centres in Sydney, London, and New York will feature a Willy Wonka-inspired display and puzzle box in the shape of a briefcase. Solve the puzzle, and you'll stand a chance to win some custom Xbox goodies.
The upcoming film hit screens on December 15, and it explores Willy Wonka's rise to stardom as a quirky chocolatier. Timoth?e Chalamet takes the lead, with Paul King serving as director.
