Free Xbox One bundles for Upload Outreach participants
How much do you love Xbox? Do you like going on YouTube to rant about how awesome Xbox is? Then, you'll want to participate in Microsoft's "Upload Outreach Program," which is giving away Xbox One consoles.
How much do you love Xbox? Do you like going on YouTube to rant about how awesome Xbox is? Then, you'll want to participate in Microsoft's "Upload Outreach Program." The promotion has Microsoft seeking video producers to create content for Upload Studio on Xbox One. This user-generated content will help fill the void left ever since Microsoft shut down Inside Xbox over a year ago.
Of course, in order to use Upload Studio, you'll need an Xbox One. And that's why Microsoft is giving systems away to selected participants.
Gamers chosen to be part of the Outreach Program will get an Xbox One, one year of Live Gold, and a selection of Xbox One launch games. Presumably, you'll be required to make videos about the games you receive.
This is a rather generous offer on Microsoft's part, and we'll assume that only the best of the best will make the cut. If you think you have what it takes, all you have to do is create a one minute video about any Xbox 360 or Xbox One game you love. Upload it to the web on any public video site and then send a link to uploadvideo@microsoft.com by September 15.

MS is digging deep to promote this thing are they not?
I've always thought if you need to push your product this much, something must be wrong and you don't have that much faith that it will drive itself.-
yep, that's why Apple doesn't run any ads for their products...

oh right you're only desperate if you do a few specific kinds of promos which also align with my existing perception of the world

Lots of room for speculation there.

MS actually has a rather long history of this sort of thing. They've not only basically paid people to promote their products like this, (I mean even Google has paid bounties to developers to write apps, just as MS has been for Win8), but have even had product evangelists throughout various stages. This goes way back; not just this promotion.

Cost for a business venture like this is astronomical. They lose money on the hardware, but need to reach a large enough market to make it back ( plus profit, which in a company like this almost entirely goes back into R&D ) in licensing.
Advertizing these product lines to make them successful is hugely expensive, and you don't get a sale by sitting on your pretentious hands in a black turtle neck telling customers that, "I don't need your business anyway, Square."
If you don't ask for the sale, you almost never get it. The person walking into a business and purchasing a service or product of any kind without having been solicited in some way pretty much doesn't happen.
