This is what happens when corporate nostalgia meets gamer wallets: the XBOX 25 Anniversary Collection, a partnership between Razer and XBOX that screams “we remember the good old days, and we’re willing to charge you for it”. The original XBOX, launched in 2001, was a beast of a console that brought us iconic franchises like Halo, Fable, and Gears of War. Now, to celebrate its 25th anniversary, Razer and XBOX have decided to launch a limited-edition collection of peripherals, because what’s a better way to honor the past than by selling us new stuff?
The Collection: A Blast from the Past with a Modern Price Tag
The XBOX 25 Anniversary Collection includes the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K gaming mouse, BlackWidow V4 75% gaming keyboard, and Hammerhead V3 HyperSpeed gaming earbuds, all adorned with the iconic translucent green casing that will make you go “oh, yeah, I remember that”. The Basilisk V3 Pro 35K XBOX 25 Anniversary Edition, for instance, features Razer Optical Mouse Switches Gen-3, Hyperscroll Tilt Wheel, Chroma RGB, and up to 210 hours of battery life, because who needs a social life when you can game for 210 hours straight? This little piece of nostalgia will set you back $179.99 USD.
Time to Get Your Game On (and Empty Your Wallet)
The Razer BlackWidow V4 75% XBOX 25 Anniversary Edition keyboard is another member of this exclusive club, boasting a colour layout inspired by the original XBOX controller, hot-swappable Orange Tactile Mechanical Switches Gen-3, and a magnetic plush leatherette wrist rest, because your wrists deserve the best while you’re gaming. This keyboard will cost you $209.99 USD, a small price to pay for the nostalgia and the envy of all your friends.
The Final Piece of the Puzzle (or Should We Say, the Final Blow to Your Wallet)
Last but not least, we have the Razer Hammerhead V3 X HyperSpeed for XBOX, XBOX 25 Anniversary Edition earbuds, which feature Razer HyperSpeed Wireless and Bluetooth 6.0 connectivity, hybrid active noise cancellation, and up to 40 hours of battery life. These earbuds will be available for $119.99 USD, a steal compared to the other two items in the collection, but still a decent chunk of change.
And so, if you’re an XBOX fan looking to spice up your setup during the anniversary celebration, the Razer XBOX 25 Anniversary Collection is available exclusively on the Razer website, waiting to empty your wallet and fill your heart with nostalgia. Because what’s a better way to celebrate 25 years of gaming than by buying a bunch of expensive peripherals? As the great philosopher once said, “you can’t put a price on nostalgia, but Razer and XBOX are sure going to try”.
