Free Xbox & 1 Year of LIVE - FTW!!!
11/14/12 10:30 pm | #1
I was away on business this week and got home tonight to find a really large unexpected UPS box in the entry. Curious, I opened it up and found a free limited edition 10th anniversary Xbox and a card for one free year of LIVE. I just re-upped my live in early November and didn't even know it had been 10 years. Microsoft decided to reward their early adopters with a new 250 Gig Console and a gratis year of LIVE. Awesome. I have zero details on how long this will go on, but wanted to let you know in case you were a 9 year subscriber considering letting your LIVE subscription lapse. White envelope has the letter explaining why you get the Xbox and the code for the free year of LIVE.

Hahah, thanks for the $500 in subscription fees and the thousands you dropped on console after console and games... Here's a kind of ugly console as a gift. Cool, though- companies don't do stuff like this normally.
If you list it on eBay, send me the linky, k?

I'm at 5, almost six, years with Xbox LIVE. Hopefully they do this with the next generation of Xbox's. (:

Ha Ha.....here's to the many, many hours spent playing Cat and Mouse on Forza 1 and the many hundreds of hours spent playing Halo 2 mutli-player. I still have some of those dudes on my friends list, but don't game as much as I did in the past. Regardless, the black Xbox experience was epic and I wish it could have stayed as cool as it was at that time.
Thought about ebay, but I'm keeping and using this console because I earned it. If nothing else, it will be a great Netflix server for the big TV.
$500 in LIVE investment, not really. I think it was $25 or $35 in the beginning and I've been shopping points deals over the years to lower the renewal price.

Ehhh, I was only 8 when they introduced Live...
I have seen a lot of people complain because in the beginning they said to change their gamertag they had to start all over, so their tags don't say 10 years.
I don't think this is going to be something that happens to everyone when they hit 10 years- it's just that the 10 year anniversary of live is today, so they're rewarding their day 1 subscribers. It's definitely a nice gesture, though.
