Customization of consoles like the Xbox Series X has been common for many generations. As a general rule, the most attractive option is to choose a custom design that is marketed by the creator (in this case, Microsoft) in accordance with a particularly relevant release and is also usually included next to the relevant title. , a remote control that matches the design of the console, providing a very visually attractive result.

However, this type of permanent options comes with a risk, and that’s it after a while we get bored with the design. Not to mention the possibility that after buying that special edition and spending a few hours with the game, we find out that we don’t like it at all. The console itself then becomes a permanent reminder that we were in a rush back then and that from now on we need to find ways to try games before we buy them.

A much cheaper option is resort to adhesive vinyl, like those we can find in shops like Aliexpress. There, for around 10 euros, we can get the most diverse designs, which undoubtedly give the console a very attractive look. While there’s obviously a lot more variety for the PlayStation 5, a quick search shows us that the Xbox Series X offering is also quite extensive.

Now, when we talk about consoles, we mean devices that tend to get rather hot, so sticking vinyl of questionable quality on them can be a bit risky. And they seem to be aware of this in Redmond, so Microsoft has decided to release its own vinyl for the Xbox Series X. Of course, although they are already in stores, their launch, which is scheduled for October 18, has not yet taken place.

Microsoft chose two proposals for its launch: Starfield, of course in relation to Bethesda’s highly anticipated gameand Mineral Camo (camouflage that combines mineral blue, bright purple, aquamarine and deep purple) to match the custom controller for the same console that Microsoft has been releasing for some time.

Unlike cheap adhesive vinyls, these models designed by Microsoft are made of blind panels and technical fabric and are fixed with velcro, which makes it easier to use, yes, but also and most importantly that we can remove it at any time if we want to do it without they had to worry about the glue that can remain on the surface of the console. Its price, yes, is also much higher than the economical alternatives as they will be marketed 44.99 euros for each model.
