Backbone is commemorating Xbox's 25th anniversary with a limited-edition blind-box Xbox Pro controller. This unique controller comes in three distinct colorways - crystal clear, iconic blue, and bold orange, all inspired by the original Xbox hardware. Buyers won't know which color they'll receive until they open the box, as it's sold as a blind-box.

Pricing and availability details: The controller will be available for preorder starting October 20 at a price of $159.99. It can be purchased through Backbone and Best Buy. The availability is limited to the regions that Backbone typically ships to, and the quantity is limited to ensure exclusivity.
