Could be Gold sub related, high cheevo related (Demi and Sceneman?) or getting Xbox One preorder cheevo:  http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=710376

But nothing for me yet so it's not shilling related.

Watch your inbox.

We considered a variety of things including Gamerscore *& Live tenure, & other factors in markets where Xbox One is available

demi, thank you for being a loyal member all these years.

They really should be giving this out to anyone who has had Live renewed for a long period of time.  I don't really care, but I've had it since it started and didn't get anything from them.  Or better yet...just release the game for free to anyone who buys an Xbox One.  They can make money on the other DLC and the season 2 characters.

Damn that's pretty bad ass.  I knew I should have spent way more on Live and games over the last few years.  Or maybe I just should have actually completed all the games I bought :teehee

Cause they are stupid and not informed. I eventually waited and called later, and connected to Microsoft Store instead. Guy knew immediately what it was.

Honestly hooking the most hardcore and devout players with free consoles is a great marketing tactic. You really can't afford to have that reliable demographic jump ship.

Well seems I was able to find out that I will be getting one as well. Haven't gotten an email, but apparently if you ask customer service they know who has won and who hasn't. I haven't gotten a message or email though. I did however get my code from them. I was told to call a different number though.

Hey. Yeah.  Me too.  I called customer support and I was like "hey i think I should get an xbox I have been a loyal customer I play 360 games all the time and I have bought like 4 360's and when my ps3 and 360 got stolen I got a 360 and took the PS3 insurance money and bought 360 games I don't even play online but I pay for Live so I'm actually saving you guys money really so I totally deserve one I've basically paid for it although I do watch Netflix a lot on my 360 but I really rarely play on the servers so I don't think think I tax it too much you guys don't have dedicated servers for 360 so even when i play online it doesn't hurt you guys oh I have been playing GTA online a lot though..." and the guy stopped me mid sentence and told me I was totally right and I deserve one so he gave me a code and sent me an email.  Here's a screenshot of my email:
