Yorkshire Tea, the British Tea company, announced it is now selling Yorkshire Tea-themed Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 controllers for £150 each.
The controllers have been designed by POPeART and come in a special box with a certificate of authentication. Each controller also has a "soft touch finish" and a "custom controller button set."
"Picture the scene," reads the description to the controllers. "You're facing down a boss with three heads and a hammer as big as a truck, armed with nothing but a rusty sword you looted from a guard. Gulping, you look down at the controller in your hands, wondering if victory is even possible. And you see it - the reassuring branding of your favourite tea. 'Yes,' you say to yourself. ;I can do this.'"
"You begin the fight and are immediately one-shotted. You're clearly way too low level for this area. On behalf of Yorkshire Tea, we would like to apologise for this and any other in-game mishaps caused by the powerful feeling of self-belief our controller will fill you with."
Press X to boil kettle!
