Car guys, video game fans, and console collectors were sent into a frenzy recently when "Fast And Furious" franchise lead actor vin diesel announced that a custom-designed "Fast & Furious" Xbox One S will be auctioned for Paul Walker’s ‘Reach Out World Wide’ charity.
Ideally, the Xbox One S is an upgrade from the original Xbox One and was introduced three years after its predecessor. The One S is sleek and is smaller, but is more powerful than its bigger brother, the original Xbox One S. Its main selling point is its Ultra HD resolution, commonly known as 4K.
This will allow players to experience richer, more luminous colors with a higher contrast ratio between lights and darks.
The console also aims to bring the best in 4K entertainment through 4K streaming, 4K Blu-ray, and spatial audio. This means that those who own the Xbox One S will be able to stream ultra high-resolution videos on Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, and other channels. The same quality can be experienced when playing Blu-ray videos, owners will also experience immersive audio via the Dolby Atmos and DTS: X.5.
The Xbox One S also brings hassle-free gaming experience as players can use any Xbox One accessory they have. The console requires no adapters for such peripherals and will work on any Xbox One game.
Speaking of games, Microsoft's Xbox boasts of over 100 exclusive titles like Forza Motorsport 7, Crackdown 3, State of Decay 2, and Gears of War 4.
Apart from the normal specs, Vin Diesel's console is a one of a kind collectible.
A good piece of fan memorabilia
More than just a console, this Xbox One S is a piece memorabilia fit for diehard fans of Paul Walker's character in the hit movie franchise.
It has the same design reminiscent of Brian O'Conner's 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse seen in the first "Fast and Furious" movie. It's covered in poison green with a dash of blue, the color of the car Brian used in preparation for his first street race, the same car can be seen when Brian practiced at Dodger Stadium.
Based on "The Fast and the Furious: The Official Car Guide," written by Eddie Paul, this vehicle had a 420a 16-valve dual overhead cam 2-Liter 4-cylinder engine rated at 165hp before the turbo upgrade.
This customized sports compact ride is channeled into Vin Diesel's one of a kind Xbox One S.
For a good cause
The benefits of the auction will go to "Reach Out WorldWide," a charity institution founded by Paul Walker in 2010. It's a network of professionals who aim to help and provide their expertise should disasters strike. In 2014 his brother, Cody, joined the organization as a paramedic and acted as its brand manager.
The auction will take place on October 1st.
