  "account": "Microsoft has recently opened preorders for its 25th Anniversary Collection Xbox console and controller. The special-edition bundle, celebrating the gaming console's 25th year, features a translucent green design inspired by the original Xbox Launch Team Edition from 2001. Priced at $899.99, the Xbox 25th Anniversary Collection is set to be released on November 13. Shoppers can also buy the controller separately for $79.99, with availability expected on October 20.\n\nThe Xbox Series X25 Limited Edition console boasts a power button that glows green and an Xbox 25th Anniversary logo on its transparent facade, showcasing its internal components. Each console is individually numbered. According to Jason Ronald, VP of Next Generation at Xbox, the collection is a tribute to the community that has supported Xbox throughout its journey. The console's price is $100 higher than the regular Series X, which has undergone three price increases since May last year.",
