"Microsoft's Bizarre Final Fantasy 14 Xbox Series X Giveaway: A Decorative Console That Doesn't Work"

Microsoft is offering a sweepstake for a stunning Final Fantasy 14-inspired Xbox Series X bundle, but the catch is that the console is non-functional and meant to be used as an art piece. The winner will also receive a separate working Xbox Series X bundle, a copy of Final Fantasy 14 Online Collector’s Edition, and a 12-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership. The prize's retail value is estimated at $1,319.93 USD. Despite the disappointment, the unique design of the non-functional console may have made maintaining its functionality challenging. To enter the competition, users must follow the official Xbox and Final Fantasy 14 accounts on Twitter and repost the original announcement post with the hashtag ‘XboxFFXIVSweepstakes’.
