  "account": "GTA 6 is on the horizon, with its release just weeks away, and Xbox is adding a touch of excitement to the launch with a one-of-a-kind alligator-shaped Xbox Series X. Dubbed the Xbox Series X-Bite, this 5-foot-long, life-sized fake alligator is an exclusive console created by partnering with John Nolan Studio, known for its special effects in popular films like The Witcher series, Jurassic World Dominion, and HBO's upcoming Harry Potter show. The X-Bite features an Xbox button on its back, a controller in its jaws with tooth marks, and pupils shaped like an X in green. To win this quirky console, fans can enter a sweepstakes starting November 3 and will need to follow @XBOX on their preferred platform, repost the designated XBOX sweepstakes post with the hashtag #XbiteSweepstakes, and add it to their profile by 11:59 PM PT on November 10. The lucky winner will have 48 hours to claim the console or it will \"make a clean getaway.\" While the sweepstakes is open to legal residents of the 50 U.S. and D.C., aged 18 or older, it's worth noting that the game is set in a fictional version of Florida, home to all sorts of wildlife, including alligators. Despite the game's release, Xbox didn't directly mention GTA 6 in its posts about the unique contest, but it's easy to see why this alligator-shaped console was made; GTA 6 takes place in a fictional Florida and offers a taste of the alligator-filled environment.",
  "summary": "GTA 6 is mere weeks away from launch, and to celebrate, Xbox is bringing the wildlife of Leonida to players’ living rooms with a one-of-a-kind console.",
