Microsoft and Taco Bell are giving away a platinum Xbox One X

Taco
Bell

• Microsoft is running a promotion with Taco Bell between
  October 18 and November 12.
• Buying a $5 Double Chalupa Box — or simply mailing your
  information on a postcard to a certain PO Box, detailed below —
  gives you a chance to win a limited-edition Xbox One X.
• This exclusive Xbox One features a platinum finish, a
  matching Xbox Elite wireless controller, and best of all, it
  plays Taco Bell’s famous “ring” when powered on.
• In unrelated news, I’m currently standing in line at Taco
  Bell for a $5 Double Chalupa Box.

As someone who owns a PlayStation 4 and a Nintendo Switch, I’ve
never felt the need for more video games, so I hadn’t
given much consideration to Microsoft’s Xbox One.

Until now.

Microsoft is
running a promotion with Taco Bell, of all companies, that
begins on October 18 and ends on November 12.

If you buy Taco Bell’s $5 “Double Chalupa Box” — which
consists of one double chalupa, one crunchy taco, cinnamon
twists, a medium drink, and a humbling sense of regret — you’ll
get a code that you can text or submit online for a chance to win
a limited-edition platinum Xbox One X.

What’s so cool about this Xbox One? Well, not only is it an
incredibly powerful game console that also happens to look super
sleek with that platinum finish, but
according to Microsoft, the console “comes packaged with Taco
Bell’s famous ‘ring’ when powered on.”

It sounds like this:

Come on. That’s amazing.

In addition to the console, you’ll also get an Xbox Elite
wireless controller — in that same platinum finish as the
console, which is, again, exclusive to the promotion — and a pair
of 3-month memberships to Xbox Game Pass and Xbox Live Gold. All
of this has a total value of around $600.

According to
the rules, Microsoft and Taco Bell will be handing out 5,040
of these prizes to some lucky customers. The
rules also state that you don’t
technically need to purchase anything for a chance to
win the incredible Taco Bell Xbox; 
all you need
to do is send your name, age street address, and email address on
a properly stamped postcard, and mail that to this
address:

Taco Bell and Xbox Game Code
Request

P.O. Box 251328, West Bloomfield,
MI 48325

Don’t submit your requests in an envelope, they won’t be
accepted!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to buy a few dozen Double
Chalupa boxes. No reason.
