Microsoft Sending Xbox Live Veterans a Custom, Free Xbox 360?

@MajorNelson #XboxLIVEis10 this week and yes we plan on celebrating it with you. Details in a few days.

Quote:
Sounded largely unexciting, but then we got an email from a reader around the same time with these images, of a console his friend just got in the mail, emblazoned with Xbox Live 10th birthday graphics.

In addition to a special box and colour scheme, there's a custom controller, "decade of entertainment" logo on the side of the console, as well as a cool little touch on the disc tray door, with a special "XBL10" plate.

We're told he didn't order it, didn't enter a competition and doesn't work in the games business. The only reason they can think of is that his ten-year anniversary of being an Xbox Live member just rolled around.

We've contacted Microsoft to see what's up with this, because boy, if everyone who's been on Xbox Live for ten years is getting one of these, that's a pretty sweet deal, even if there won't be many around at the moment (the service only debuted in October 2002). I'll update if we hear back.

If so I really hope I get 1 since I was in the beta test program!

I can confirm we’re surprising some of the #Xbox LIVE members that have been with us the longest with one of these http://mjr.mn/THwudE

I rarely win anything but hope the loyalty pays off this time....

To bad I can't get brownie points for still going strong on my launch 360...

Re: Microsoft Sending Xbox Live Veterans a Custom, Free Xbox 360?

I was in the first run of beta rollouts, so like 8/15/02 or something. It would be awesome to get one of these, but definitely not holding my breath. No way they send out a few thousand of them though.

If anyone here gets one be sure to let us know, because that's truly awesome!

And personally, I think the system looks great!
