That's because Microsoft unveiled a limited edition version of the One S with a new custom-designed Minecraft skin. Available on a 1TB One S console, the new skin resembles the iconic grass and dirt block design that is synonymous with the sandbox game.
The limited edition version comes complete with a download code for the full Minecraft game, along with the Redstone pack, which is a collection of unique skins. The console also comes with a custom-designed Minecraft Creeper wireless controller, complete with green Creeper colour finish and
Minecraft font on the ABXY buttons. The controller is also available to buy separately, along with a Minecraft Pig controller in a new pink Pig colour finish. Both controllers are available to pre-order now, and will launch on 21 September.
The Minecraft version of the One S also features Minecraft systems sounds, has its very own vertical stand and has a transparent underside with Redstone circuit accents.
The limited edition Xbox One S Minecraft Edition is available to pre-order now for £349.99 from Argos, Sainsbury's and Microsoft's own store and will launch on 3 October.
Microsoft also announced a special Middle Earth: Shadow of War bundle, that packages a regular white Xbox One S with a download for the full Shadow of War game. When buying the bundle, you also get four Legendary Orc champions, your own war party and the Epic Sword of Dominion.
