Over two years ago Xbox unveiled a custom SpongeBob SquarePants themed Series X console as part of a giveaway, and today the team has announced that a very similar console is actually going into limited production in the US.
Yep, Team Green has partnered up with US retailer Best Buy to start selling some SpongeBob consoles - this time created to tie in with Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2. Here's a look at the finished article, all boxed up and ready to ship:
As you can see in the image there, this console will be available exclusively as part of 'Best Buy Drops', a Best Buy mobile app feature that notifies customers when items become available. This Xbox console will be added to Drops at 8am PT / 11am ET on Thursday, March 7, and it'll "only be obtainable while inventory remains".
"Through Best Buy Drops on the Best Buy Mobile App, fans will have the exclusive opportunity bring home an Xbox Series X – Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 Special Edition Bundle which includes a custom-designed console inspired by SpongeBob SquarePants himself, showing off his iconic smile, Krusty Krab uniform, and ecstatic arms."
Now, there's a few other details you might want to know here. First off, the bundle also contains a themed controller and a copy of All-Star Brawl 2, and one other thing - it'll cost you $699. Yep, this isn't a cheap custom console bundle, but at least it's available to purchase in some capacity!
Thinking you might get on Best Buy Drops and try and pick one of these up? We'd imagine it'll become quite rare over time!

Where’s the mirror reflection Xbox
This looks funky, but I think Xbox should release these kind of things in those removable wraparound skins they brought out last year. That way you can customise your existing console, and even have a couple to swap out.
Absurd price notwithstanding, it's about time these finally go on sale!
Finally, another limited edition console… and it’s SpongeBob for $700 lol. This almost seems like a sick joke but it’s kinda funny.
$699. I honestly cannot stop laughing. Also, this would look so bad in our living room where the tv and consoles are. Right now, the black Series X blends right in. The PS5, not so much. But at least it's a solid color mostly. So, a hard no for me.
699. I mean, who looked at that and thought 'lets slap another 200 on that bad boy and watch them fly!'
Good Idea with Wrong Pricing = Dead Products
Ah no a paint job shouldn't cost that much unless you get a blow one with it that is my god robbery ha
Who lives in a pineapple under the Sea of Thieves...
Because the target audience of Sponge Bob games is definitely the $700 console market.
Looks nice, but I'm waiting for the Paw Patrol RTX 4090.
I gotta BE the marble!
OMG!!! This is the cutest… WTF ejrhdyehehdudh IS THAT PRICE?!?!? 😱
Why is it so damn expensive?! And I've had issues with the drops before, so this is gonna go well....
Collectors are salivating.
This is definitely one of those super limited deals with absurd pricing for the collectors who actually care about it. Honestly, probably hard to lose money on the second hand market, but I doubt I would want to bother with this because I still gotta spend $700 on a Series X.
$200 for a game? Think will pass.
@sd7232 A game that has already been on sale for $25 that doesn't even include the DLC no less.
