First a motherboard and now an external hard drive. Against all odds, 2018 is shaping up to be the year that I'm extremely into the aesthetic of certain hardware.
Accompanying the recent reveal of the Sea of Thieves Xbox One controller, is an officially-licensed Sea of Thieves 2TB external hard drive. It has the exact same mystic purple and translucent green color scheme, but the Xbox logo is emblazoned in gold. Honestly, it looks incredible.
Maybe most surprising is that the hard drive doesn't really come at much of a premium. Microsoft will begin selling it on March 20 for $90. Xbox's original "official" 2TB Seagate hard drive that went on sale in 2015 is going for $86 on Amazon right now. This is basically a re-skin of that. However, the Sea of Thieves hard drive also comes with a month-long subscription to Xbox Game Pass an an exclusive in-game Midnight Blunderbuss item.
A pair of Sea of Thieves-themed controller stands were also revealed today. There's a normal controller-holder ($15) and a charging stand ($50), and they'll both go on sale on February 19. Given how many accessories are getting the Sea of Thieves treatment, it feels like a special edition console announcement might be right around the corner.
