welcome to watch
mojo and today we'll be counting down
our picks for the top 10
worst and most pointless console
[Music]
editions
for this list we are looking at truly
terrible rare and limited edition
consoles from throughout gaming history
let us know in the comments which one
you'll be searching ebay for
number 10 gold ps5
for close to eleven thousand dollars a
24 karat gold plated playstation 5
complete with disc drive could be yours
coming with equally gaudy accessories
like a gold dual sense and a gold pulse
wireless headset
of course if solid gold just isn't to
your liking you can get ps5s coated in
other precious metals as well
like rose gold and platinum but far
worse than the fact that this gold ps5
existed at all was that details about it
were released
before vital info on the regular model
though the luxury brand
selling the ps5s wasn't technically
partnered with sony it's still
telling that we knew the price of this
pointless object before the normal
console
number 9 mountain dew xbox the love
affair between gamers and mountain dew
has been going strong for a long time
and in the days of the original xbox
there was even a soda themed console to
honor the pairing
this fluorescent green machine was
available only via a promotion offered
by mountain dew
meaning only the most dedicated do
chugging gamers had a chance of winning
one
still that's a whole lot of people and
so a fair amount of people managed to
amass the 550 points needed to redeem
the prize
years later mountain dew and microsoft
reunited
this time with doritos as well for an
xbox one giveaway
get codes from specially marked packages
of do and doritos and bank points for
online auctions happening daily
when time runs out you could score one
of thousands of xbox one entertainment
systems
number eight tommy hilfiger game boy
color
nintendo claimed that its collaboration
with fashion brand tommy hilfiger was a
quote
natural partnership when this bright
yellow gameboy was announced
but people were skeptical at the time
and remained skeptical looking back
a yellow gameboy wasn't a bad idea after
all you could get a standard console in
this shade
but nintendo decided to slap the tommy
hilfiger logo on it
which kind of ruins the otherwise clean
aesthetic on top of it just looking a
little weird the whole thing felt rather
pointless
who was the target demographic nobody
asked for game consoles sponsored by
clothing brands
so it's little surprise that this trend
never really caught on
number seven hello kitty xbox
[Music]
this was a transparent or crystal xbox
with a big decal of the iconic hello
kitty character on the top
hello kitty has had her name and image
plastered over absolutely everything
since the mid-1970s
but a hello kitty xbox is still unusual
this console didn't come out of nowhere
however as it was actually a tie-in for
the 2005 game hello kitty roller rescue
aka
mission rescue if you desperately wanted
this particular console you had to jump
through quite a few hoops
because it was only available to buy if
you bought certain samsung tvs
in singapore it was targeted at women
and girls but with less than 600 units
ever made
we doubt it had much effect number six
shrek game boy advance sp
[Music]
in the early 2000s shrek took the world
by storm as dreamworks comedic take on
the fairy tale genre
it was a hit and in 2004 the sequel
shrek 2 was released along with a tie-in
game for the game boy advance
it was a surprisingly playable title but
an ugly
lime green and orange console appeared
as well and was offered with the game on
a promotion by toys r us
it isn't clear whether this was just a
coincidence or if it really is a
limited edition shrek console if
anything the fact that people are unsure
whether it was designed with shrek in
mind or not
only makes matters worse but why pick
these hideous colors otherwise
number 5. coca-cola game gear
if you think gamers who drink mountain
dew get too much attention
never fear there are limited edition
consoles for whatever your soda of
choice is
if you're in the mood to have a coke
then you might want to check out this
rare sega game gear that was sponsored
by coca-cola and came in bright red
along with the console itself you also
got a tie-in game
coca-cola kid a decent but forgettable
2d
platformer but despite coca-cola being
an american company
the coke game gear was never available
outside japan
this is ironic considering the world's
top three consumers of coca-cola are all
in north america
mexico the us and canada
[Music]
number four audi r8 xbox one s
[Music]
consoles are all well and good but don't
you wish your brand new device looked a
bit more like a car
finally in 2016 microsoft made that
dream come true releasing an xbox one
s designed to look like an audi r8 the
console was made to promote
forza horizon 3 and in keeping with the
fact that audi is a german brand the
competition to win it was only available
in germany oh and the custom controller
was an eyesore
marginally better with the other two
horizon 3 consoles available in
australia and france and modeled after a
ford mustang and a lamborghini
centenario respectively
[Music]
number three suzuki sxbox 360.
forget just looking like a car though in
the early days of the xbox 360
microsoft teamed up with suzuki to
produce an actual car in order to
promote their state-of-the-art console
this car was a modified suzuki sx4 back
when the sx4 was new and shiny as well
and featured xbox branding on the
outside and an actual xbox 360 plus
multiple controllers on the inside
the console was built right into the
dashboard for your convenience
it also had a television in the trunk
and when the hood was popped open you
could use a projector to create a
display as well
something tells us that a gaming
controller in the steering wheel
isn't road legal number two
marlboro atari lynx
[Music]
cigarette advertising was already highly
regulated by the launch of the atari
lynx in 1989 but that didn't stop
marlboro from putting its branding on
everything it was legally able to
this bright red handheld could be yours
if you collected enough points from
buying marlboro cigarettes
though this was presumably for kids
whose parents smoked it
stinks of marlbro trying to form a
connection with the children themselves
establishing that famous tobacco brand
loyalty from an early age
the lynx came with its own game 2.
marlboro go
where players control the motorcyclist
decked out in marlborough red
this would definitely not be allowed
today
[Music]
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few
dishonorable mentions mtv gamecubes
mtv licensed a handful of these gaudy
game cubes from nintendo
taco bell xbox 360 slim this purple 360
would actually look pretty good if it
wasn't for that taco bell logo
this is cool sega saturn there was
nothing cool
about this incredibly bland sega saturn

number one nintendo wii supreme
if you thought the gold ps5 was a waste
of money
wait until you get a load of this
limited edition gold-plated nintendo wii
it was created by british designer
stuart hughes
who makes the gold wheeze to order for
the hefty sum of almost
500 000 he buys the wheeze from nintendo
and then covers them
not only in 88 ounces of gold but 78
tiny
diamonds as well the diamonds encrust
the face buttons
but the real kicker is while stuart
hughes did also make some similarly
horrible golden ps3s
he doesn't make golden wii remotes so
you won't have a controller to match
not unless you code one in gold yourself
