Microsoft builds giant Xbox One console in Vancouver
The fan site Xbox One In Canada first reported on the huge structure, which is 40 feet long and 20 feet wide. If you are in Vancouver, you can head over to the intersection of Nelson and Seymour to see it for yourself. However, the oversized Xbox One has not been placed there just to sit and look a bit like the Monolith in 2001. The official Xbox Canada Facebook page says that people can "pledge" their Xbox Live gamertag at the physical location, online at Xbox.ca/OneSource or via Xbox Live. Each pledge will cause the huge box to get closer to an unstated goal that when reached will cause the large Xbox One to open up with a mystery reward.
Obviously, this is a cool way to promote the launch of the Xbox One on November 22nd in Canada. The huge prop will apparently be making a tour of other Canadian cities but dates and specific locations have yet to be announced.

ScholarlyGossip What a waste of a parking lot..
You have got a point, why put it in a parking lot? But it is good!
Well maybe they're going to end up moving it to a better spot.
Looks pretty sweet though XD

Thlack They need all the advertising they can get. It is probably going to be a shaky start for Sony AND Microsoft.
i agree with you on that. im for one not getting either of the next gen consoles. i dont see how they would benefit me other that graphics being better. but i can live without that, especially when its gonna cost me 500 bucks lol. perhaps if they get a christmas bundle then i will consider that but for now, current gen is doing just mighty fine for this guy.
p.s. who the hell comes up with this idea for advertising lol
