“This controller was given to members of the Xbox Team,” Duffitt explains in a tweet. “Will not be for sale, and you can’t have it ???? I got the controller because I do, in fact, work for xbox, for some reason they haven’t fired me yet.”

Microsoft has a history of rewarding those who had worked on an Xbox’s release with rare hardware that’s produced exclusively for employees. This controller, like other exclusive Microsoft employee merch, is unavailable to the general public and will likely only be attainable either directly via an employee or through a very expensive online auction whenever an employee needs some extra cash or decides to Marie Kondo their house.

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
