Fans not impressed with Xbox and its massive Sonic the Hedgehog 2 announcement!
On its official Twitter account, Xbox shared information about a major contest regarding the new movie. It mentioned that one lucky fan has a chance of winning a custom Xbox Series S console and controller. They are specially made by taking inspiration from the Sonic 2 movie itself.
We might need glasses because these controllers look fuzzy.
Follow and RT with #XboxSonic2Sweepstakes for a chance to win a Sonic 2 Xbox Series S Custom Console and Controllers.

As you can see, the product looks quite furry and unique as well in the classic red and blue colors.
For taking part in the contest, all the interested users need to retweet the above tweet. Also, they have to use #XboxSonic2Sweepstakes to stand a chance to eventually win the custom Xbox Series S controllers.
However, it looks like fans themselves didn’t seem too impressed with this revelation from Xbox. Many of them didn’t like the appearance of the custom controllers at all. Instead, most of the users mentioned they are not very interested in this contest, let alone having the Sonic 2 movie-inspired controllers.
“Bro those controllers are legit disgusting”, wrote one fan.

Who wants to play with hairy controllers? 😛
Big ol pass from me. Plus, I found, twitter giveaways are most likely scams.
They never announce winners. They probably just give them to friends/family.
