This shockingly rare limited edition Hulk Xbox console was donated to a UK charity shop

An astonishingly rare Xbox console given to a UK charity shop is expected to sell for thousands at an upcoming auction.

The lime green original Xbox console – designed to commemorate the 2003 release of the movie Hulk – is a limited edition original given out as a cinema scratchcard prize.

While 50 Hulk editions were made, just 36 were claimed, 16 of which are considered missing, lost, or scrapped.

“This one really caught my eye,” tester Paul Smith told the BBC. “I’m a games enthusiast myself, but the rare green colour combined with the Hulk and Pepsi logo really stood out.”

With eight days to go on the auction, the console has already attracted over 20 bids and is expected to fetch up to £9000. It appears to include all the original cables, five original Xbox games – Tony Hawk’s Underground, Tony Hawk’s Underground 2, Marvel vs. Capcom 2, what I think is Bilbo’s The Hobbit, and one other game I can’t quite make out – and the original controller.
