Xbox live subscriber for 10 years straight? Microsoft may send you a free xbox

It's still unclear who will qualify for this, but the way it looks, gamers who have been xbox live paying customers since the service began in 2002 might be receiving a free custom-made 250GB xbox 360 (pictured above), which does look like absolute crap, but should sell for a nice price to collectors on ebay.

So, if you're one of the few who have spent over $500 along 10 years for xbox live gold access, stay on the lookout for suspicious deliveries to your home from MS in the near future.

Only been a subscriber for 6 years. I now want what I cannot have.

Don't we all?

You spend $500 for 10 years of Gold and you get a free $300 console for the effort. Not bad.

I'm guessing a lot of the people who will get these consoles haven't even paid that much for their subscription. I know I've never paid more than $35 for Gold as long as I've been subscribing. Too many sales go on to pay full price. Back when it was $50 a year you could easily find it on sale for $20-$25.

Still a pretty cool thing for MS to do.

Darn. Only 9 more years to go for me.

I guess that goes well with... oh i dunno, your xbox live subscription.... and.... that other xbox you just so happened to have which was the reason you got xbox live in the first place....

Yeah..."Hey, Xbox owner! Have an Xbox!"

Erm. In other news, man attempts to sell snow to Eskimos.
