**A rare Xbox console donated to the British Heart Foundation (BHF) shop in Oxford
is expected to fetch as much as £9k on eBay.**

Listed for sale on the charity’s [eBay site](https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/375469517462?itmmeta=01HZPA1XRFEN4WWAD56VB9DBP6&hash=item576bba2a96:g:FPcAAOSwLupmYMW-),
the Pepsi Hulk Console is one of only 36, and was released in 2003. The green console
is in working condition, and was never available for retail sale as it was a competition
prize used to promote the 2003 release of ‘Hulk’ in UK theatres.

Gamers and collectors are being encouraged to place their bids to be in with a chance
of getting this collectable item. Because the console has so rarely been for sale,
and is limited edition, it could fetch up to £9,000 at the auction.

Paul Smith, a function tester at the [BHF’s](https://www.bhf.org.uk/) eBay HQ, discovered
the value of the console when he was function testing it.

He said:

> “We test all the electrical donations we receive, and this one really caught my
> eye. I’m a games enthusiast myself but the rare green colour combined with the
> Hulk and Pepsi logo really stood out. Whoever is lucky enough to snap this up 
> will make their friends green with envy.”

Foundation’s research into heart and circulatory diseases.
