As part of a collaboration with benny blanco, BTS and Snoop Dogg, there is now a singing Xbox controller based on the newly released single Bad Decisions.
Its design is quite swish, if you ask me. It's a bright red with white accents and the words "bad decisions" stamped across the front of the controller, boasting a slight blur effect on the lettering. I can tell you that it is 139 days until Christmas, and this would be an ideal gift for a housemate who's suddenly thought to check the time once they've started to hear birdsong during an especially strenuous gaming session.
Snoop Dogg is in Call of Duty. That's it. That's the sell. Check out the trailer for The Doggfather below:

There's a speaker on the back of the controller which plays Bad Decisions out loud with the simple press of a button. I'm envisaging jumpscares in horror games as someone clutches the controller punctuated by the "I want you, ooh, baby, all of the time", so then you get a sort of Pavlovian situation. Whenever you hear the song, your heart rate surges to 100 beats per minute.
If you are tempted Xbox is holding a sweepstakes. Following Xbox on Twitter and retweeting the reveal with #BadDecisionsSongXboxSweepstakes counts as an entry, and there are 30 controllers on offer. The competition ends on 25 August at 6.00pm PT - may the odds be ever in your favour.
