Microsoft launches limited edition waterproof, non-working Xbox controller

Well, if you are reading this article, you would probably think ‘what joke is this’. Well, the information is true and Microsoft Australia has announced the product as a limited edition giveaway.

Microsoft Australia announced on its Facebook page that it was giving away a limited edition Xbox Inflatable to enhance Australia Day experience. The giveaway needs a basic requirement — a 25-word or less story on what is one’s ideal Australia Day. Winners who are the most creative will win the inflatable. The competition closes on 20 January and is open only to Australian residents 13 years and older.

The inflatable product, valued at AUD $50, features two drink holders, and can accommodate two people in the pool.

Australia Day is the official National Day of Australia and celebrated annually on 26 January. It marks the anniversary of the 1788 arrival of the First Fleet of British Ships at Port Jackson, New South Wales, and the raising of the Flag of Great Britain at Sydney Cove by Governor Arthur Phillip. In present-day Australia, celebrations reflect the diverse society and landscape of the nation, and are marked by community and family events, reflections on Australian history, official community awards, and citizenship ceremonies welcoming new members of the Australian community.
