Xbox One unveils ‘greaseproof’ controller for gamers who like to snack loads while playing

Let nothing get in the way of your gaming – even basic cleanliness.

Do you like to snack while you play video games? Do you like shovel greasy calories into your face while blowing away people online, or smashing your mates at FIFA?

Do you keep having to discard and replace gaming peripherals because they get encrusted with Domino’s sauce and Doritos crumbs?

Then we have the gamepad for you.

Xbox Austrailia have released a ‘greaseproof’ contoller for the Xbox One.

According to Xbox, “the controller features a patented coating that is resistant to chicken grease – assisting players in their fight for elusive, yet tasty, chicken dinner victories”.

It is to tie into the release of the full version of battle royale shooter PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, in reference to the famous “Winner Winner Chicken Dinner” catchphrase from the game. The controller comes in the trademark PUBG colours, and is limited to just 200 units.

The trailer for the controller shows fried chicken grease being dripped on the unit, in particularly gross fashion.

How do you get you (greasy) hands on one of them? Well, they are being given away on the Xbox Austrailia Facebook page – so maybe hit up an Aussie mate if you really want one.

Or maybe you could just be a bit less of a pig?
