Microsoft is pushing the limit on gamers' patience
by only allowing pre-orders of their Xbox gaming console to customers
who purchase bundles of software and accessories. The first
batch of Xbox pre-orders sold out in 30 minutes and emboldened the
Microsoft marketing team to put together some more creative Xbox
packs. BBspot has come into possession of an internal Microsoft
document outlining their newest Xbox packages:
