WIN AN XBOX SUITCASE

Even if the pandemic isn’t over yet, planes are starting to fly around a bit more frequently, which means it’s time to start thinking about your winter travel plans and how to ensure that you’ll be able to play games wherever you go while on the road.

It’s possible to pre-purchase a new Steam Deck in order to receive a portable PC, but why bother when you can receive an Xbox Series S implanted in a suitcase instead?

The Xbox Luggage is a suitcase that has been expressly converted to become the ideal housing for an Xbox Series S, courtesy of Xbox ANZ, the same folks who brought us the Xbox Body Wash, the Xbox Onesie, and the greaseproof Xbox One controller (which was extremely awful), among other things.

The Xbox Series S, together with a small monitor protected by a magnetized magic cover, is housed in a box-sized cutout. Along with charging kits, a cable package, and two controllers, there is limited space for other items like as toiletries or a change of clothes.

“Another room in your home, at your friend’s house, a hotel room, absolutely anywhere with access to power,” writes Microsoft, “your favorite games can now be played in a truly unique way.”

Although the Xbox Suitcase is only available to individuals who live in Australia or New Zealand, if you do happen to be in either of those countries, Xbox Australia and New Zealand is also running a free giveaway. To be entered into a raffle to win an Xbox Suitcase, simply retweet the original announcement with the location of where you plan to fly in Microsoft Flight Simulator on Xbox (which launches today).

Speaking of Microsoft Flight Simulator, the game that has driven many gaming PC to its digital knees has now made the transition to the world of consoles. Microsoft’s fancy new system, the Xbox Series X, was put through its paces by Microsoft Flight Simulator, and The Gamer’s Dave Aubrey found that, while it isn’t perfect, Microsoft’s fancy new platform does an outstanding job overall.
