Xbox is sending 20th anniversary gift packages to random fans | VGC

Halo Elite controllers and engraved crystals have been arriving at players’ homes…
Xbox has been sending gift boxes to random players to celebrate its 20th anniversary. The boxes appear to be sent to random Xbox players who have previously registered for Xbox Fanfest. They contain a Halo themed Xbox Series X/S controller, 12 months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and a large crystal statue. The statue contains the Xbox 20th anniversary logo and has the player's Xbox Gamertag laser engraved on it.

Anyone get one?

Dang, I've registered for all fanfests and have been a part of the ecosystem since Day one. Would love to get one of these.

This would be an amazing surprise.

SIgned up for all the Xbox Fanfest stuff and been with Xbox since 2003 so I think I'd qualify for something like this but I never seem to win any sort of random prizes.

I remember they did something similar at the 10 year anniversary with limited edition XBox 360's

That's kinda cool.
Like when Sony sent out PS5's to celebs but this time for mere mortals.

Or when The Rock and a bunch of others (Ryan Reynolds?) got signature edition series x'. When DJ Khalid got his series s he thought it was a speaker. It's a fact of life that influencers get things in order to influence people.

Would be nice to get one, but at least I have a three letter gamertag grandfathered in. Still wish I got something else for being there from the beginning :D

I've bought every Xbox on day 1, but there's no way they're sending me one of these. I haven't paid for Gold most years, only a few times here and there.

Want want want. I've been there since the OG XBOX, but never actually signed up for XBL in the time I had it, so I'm guessing I'm probably not one of the lucky few.

I got a giant personalized box for e3 this year from Microsoft and I'm no influencer by any stretch. I don't engage with anything outside this forum. I thinks it's just brand engagement and loyalty to the Xbox ecosystem mainly. I'm sure registering for fan fest helps.

I've been with both PlayStation and Xbox since the very first day and never gotten anything from any of them. I still remember friends asking "what the hell is a PlayStation?". At least Nintendo sent me that promotional "Change the system" N64 VHS tape. I watched it like a hundred times back. It was a very exciting time for gaming.

Nevertheless, seems like a really nice gift from Microsoft.

Nice of Microsoft to send these out. To random people too? Not just people doing videos on YouTube etc?

Just read about this. Very jealous I got a 16 year badge on my Xbox profile a few years off of being day 1.
