00:00Microsoft has outdone itself this time. While we're all getting hyped for the new Xbox consoles
00:05planned for 2024, the company's been working on a secret project that has shocked gamers,
00:11moviegoers, and superhero fans everywhere. We're talking about the Cheeky Deadpool Xbox Controller.
00:18Get it?
00:18"...Shut the f— up."
00:19"...Oh my God."
00:21The Cheeky Deadpool Controller is part of a sweepstakes tie-in with the upcoming film
00:26Deadpool and Wolverine, and it's right in line with the tone of the franchise.
00:30Whoever wins our sweepstakes will get the controller,
00:32which looks like it's been cut straight from Deadpool's suit.
00:35Winners can also get a Deadpool-themed console and a set of foam katanas.
00:39The console and swords are arguably the bigger prizes here,
00:43but it's really the controller's backside that's catching everyone's attention.
00:47Microsoft's promotional post promises that players can make
00:50Deadpool's finest asset your own, and the company's not lying.
00:55Gamers are dying to add the controller to their collections.
00:58"...You are delivering."
00:59But unfortunately, not very many people are going to have that opportunity.
01:03There's only gonna be one winner, so most of us will only get to use the controller in our dreams,
01:08which is a bit ironic, considering the controller leaves so very little to the imagination.
01:13Gamers are freaking out over Microsoft's latest design,
01:16though basically everyone agrees that the controller should be more widely available,
01:21and not just given to the single person who wins the sweepstakes.
01:24This isn't the first time that Microsoft has released an exciting promotional controller,
01:29but this edition is unsurprisingly getting more attention than usual.
01:33Previous limited-edition Xbox controllers have definitely looked cool,
01:37but they haven't jumped out of the screen quite as much as Deadpool's here.
01:41This really is the kind of thing that gets you to stop your morning internet scroll to do a
01:45double-take. Some people are really just interested in the controller because of the, um… ergonomic
01:51design. It's scientific curiosity, honestly. Some fans are asking the real questions and
01:56digging into what special features might come along with a controller like this.
02:00"...You quit scratching your ass, bub, and get into the fight."
02:07"...You said ass, bub."
02:08A few fans have seized on the moment to implore Xbox to re-release X-Men Origins Wolverine
02:14and 2013's Deadpool, two of the best X-Men video games of all time.
02:18Everyone's a bit shocked, to say the least, that Xbox is putting something like this out,
02:23but everyone also agrees that this is a piece of gaming memorabilia we all want to own.
02:27Whoever wins the controller is going to be getting a ton of new friend requests.
02:32Heck, some gamers have even argued that non-Deadpool fans
02:35might just want an Xbox controller with these particular, ahem, dimensions.
02:40The new Xbox controller isn't the only Deadpool and Wolverine promotional item
02:44that's getting attention online. There's also a deeply upsetting popcorn bucket that fans are
02:49noticing would make the perfect nightmarish compliment to the controller.
02:52"...I am soaking wet right now."
02:55If fans had it their way, they'd be decked out with all the latest Deadpool swag
02:59ahead of the new movie premiere. The fact that the controller is the
03:02one piece of the puzzle that's going to be impossible to get is really bothering some
03:06people, to the point where they're practically begging Microsoft to make more controllers
03:10so they can get in on the fun. There's no doubt that these Deadpool controllers
03:14would sell like hotcakes if they were actually in stores, and plenty of commenters online have
03:19said that they'd shell out big bucks to be able to bring the controller home.
03:23Sure, Microsoft might need to set up curtained-off areas before putting them on display,
03:27but real fans would find their way to them anyway. The sweepstakes is already in motion,
03:32though, so don't expect to see this controller in your local Target anytime soon.
03:36Although fans are sad to miss out on the chance to get their hands on Deadpool's butt,
03:41all hope isn't lost just yet. When Marvel's Wolverine finally comes out for PS5,
03:46maybe Sony will take the opportunity to give fans what they really want.
03:50"...I didn't sign up for this."
