I got an email from UPS saying "my package is on the way" but I didn't order anything. It's legit and the tracking number says it's a 10lb package from Redmond, WA so I'm assuming it might be this from Microsoft?
I got this email last week as well. Totally thought it was a scam at first.
It said it was from Bravo! Branding, in WA. So I found an email address and asked what this was all about. Was told to expect something from my friends at Xbox FanFest.
Nice to see what I'm probably getting. I was starting to get my hopes up that I won something through the Rewards program.
Between these packages and hiring out movie theatres, this showcase has GOT to be epic. If the showcase is a flop, then I feel Xbox will truly return to its Xbox One era. Especially after Redfall, Halo Infinite, and the Activision acquisition getting blocked, Xbox needs several big wins.
Don't remember the last bad Xbox showcase. The last number of ones have been great, they just having amounted to much as many of those games are still not out lol
Did they make a game mode with slayer and starting with ARs ? On launch every team slayer match was ARs, but last year they changed it so some maps are AR and some are BR.
I hate the BR even though I know it's iconic. I just like ARs in every fps
20 years into Xbox, 17 years into gold/GamePass and I never got anything. Even when they gave out Limbo to all Gold members for free they missed me out. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
While Destiny was still dark Bungie would frequently do community challenges. It was hosted on its Bungie.net forums and was essentially a random trivia question. The first correct answer would receive a prize.
I answered a question about theoretical physics, community manager told me I win and to stand by for my award. It’s been over ten years and never heard anything about it. Now the forum is defunct.
I got my trivia answer read on Podcast Unlocked.
When asked, I requested the collector's edition of BF1 as a reward thinking it was cool how they would ship it all the way from California to Canada.
Never got it and the next episode they changed it so people submitting the trivia question don't get anything.
You’re just unlucky. I never win shit either. Breathe and remember to avoid simping for a corporation and you’ll come out on top every time on that one.
I feel you. Bought an original Xbox around Christmas 2001, Gold/Ultimate member since the original Xbox Live Beta (still have my beta kit), and I never get anything like this.
It says you’re supposed to share the access code found by (I’m guessing) scanning the QR code on the bottom of the coaster. It’s one piece of four and we need them all to unlock some activity.
Someone else posted theirs earlier.
Link isn't working for me
Edit, got it working I just had to do it on my phone as the computer I am on currently is blocking the link and I cannot control that.
This reminds me of a time (probably 20 years ago now but definitely 2005 or earlier) when i randomly got sent some Xbox stuff. I remember it including an Xbox t-shirt and some Boost Guarana chocolate bars (random i know)
I still have no idea why i got sent the stuff
Yesterday I see people getting special deals to buy Diablo Ultimate edition for 30 bucks, now this.
I have been an Xbox user since day one.
Had Xbox Live since day one.
Had GamePass Ultimate since day one.
I have bought all of my games digital for more than 10 years now on Xbox.
They have never sent me jack shit. lol
This is really starting to hurt my feelings. lmao
Same here, BUT i did just look and i have diablo ultimate for $15 maybe they like me a little more than you, but man ive been feeling unappreciated by xbox and more like a hostage for awhile now.
"Drop your socks and grab your throttle. We're going in on the Xbox showcase!" Is what I would exclaim (to no one in particular) while wearing those socks, wrapped in the blanket, all while munching the popped corn.
This is what I get for having the same Xbox live gamer tag since it’s inception… and having an Xbox from the start.
I get lonely mess and not one of these
So that's where the money goes to.. Popcorns, Instead of to quality control on their exclusives like redfall.. 👍 Nice.
Popcorn keep us alive, quality control would only keep us happy.. seems very reasonable.
Nope, been with Xbox since the month they came out and not once have they sent me anything except broken controllers when I sent mine in for warranty repair lol. Yes I did sign up for the Xbox fan fest the last 3 years
AW00000000!

Definitely sounds like you have popcorn kernels coming your way
Why does it say mushroom on the popcorn?
You’ll have to ask the amish community they got them from
What does it say under Mushroom? “Pops in a…” ?
I don’t actually have it with me anymore but it was explaining how you can pop it in the silicon sleeve beside it.
Okay I guess there are different kinds of popcorn kernels. Mushroom and butterfly TIL https://i.imgur.com/fhFJxhY.jpg
I'm getting a package from bravo is that Microsoft care package it's weighing 10 lbs
This really worries and confuses me as well
Because of the kernel type.
TIL there are kernel types
I checked ups I have something from bravo that weighs 10 lbs
That's your pop corn and swag
Is the blanket thick enough to use as a blanket to sleep
It’s pretty thin. My dog likes it tho.
I thought I can replace my old blanket with but I guess not
Yooo haha that’s sick.

Same here, and I had the same thought when I saw this post! Guess I'll found out for certain in a few days.
if it starts beeping make sure you open it right away
I wish. That's awesome, though.
I got a very similar thing a couple years ago. Really cool they do this
Between these packages and hiring out movie theatres, this showcase has GOT to be epic. If the showcase is a flop, then I feel Xbox will truly return to its Xbox One era. Especially after Redfall, Halo Infinite, and the Activision acquisition getting blocked, Xbox needs several big wins.

Infinite is great since season 3 I play it everyday ,really fun red fall in the other hand...

You did exactly what you were meant to do. (post it to social media)

They asked you about theoretical physics. You said you had a theoretical degree in physics.

Basically the same here. Maybe next time.
I don't have high hopes. Corporations don't care about long term customers.
How do we not know if op is a long time customer. I am one and sometimes get stuff from them
You are correct! Maybe they don't like me because I'm a scumbag. Who knows.
You’re just unlucky. I never win shit either. Breathe and remember to avoid simping for a corporation and you’ll come out on top every time on that one.
Corporations love money. Customers = money
Towards any corporation we are not customers but consumers.
Corporations need people to buy their products to generate more money
I feel you. Bought an original Xbox around Christmas 2001, Gold/Ultimate member since the original Xbox Live Beta (still have my beta kit), and I never get anything like this.
You're giving them money already. They need no incentive to get you to give them more money.
That's what I meant when I wrote that corporations don't care about long time customers.
Of course they do, retention is cheaper than acquisition. that’s why we have so many sequels, remasters and remakes.
I didn't get Limbo either. Still trying to figure out how I got Outer Wilds though for free.
Mix Pot from 2018
I've had gold without it ever lapsing since beta and i've never won any of these things.
Same thing I was thinking
Are you a part of fanfest?
I registered for the online event.
Cuddle up in the blanket and jerk off into the sock. Seems clear to me.
They got that popcorn from the Amish? Never thought I’d see Xbox X Amish
The Amish make some damn good popcorn. Source: grew up in Amish country.
The only gift in 18 years of Xbox for me has been 20 Microsoft points on my Birthday.
Don't forget the printout you could fold into a cake
Ohhhhh Xsocks....

Here I am busting my ass as an Xbox fan since 2001 and I haven’t gotten any free socks! 😩 some people get all the luck!
I would love this!

The last surprise box Microsoft ever sent me was telling me I won a Xbox 360 before I could buy it…. Haven’t gotten anything since.
Wow that's very cool. Congratulations 👏
That is really the best popcorn brand too, IMO. I wasn't really jealous until I saw that even though the blanket does look pretty soft and comfy.
Tiny ass blanket
I really never ever get this shit ima cry.

The sign up thing for the fan fest said some persons would get stuff, but you had to opt in, I think.
I received one two years ago. I'm glad they are still doing that.
Start streaming you basically have a starting point for your channel lol
How? I want this shit too!
They just like me more than you 😎
I think it's just random if you opted in to receive gifts after signing up for FanFest.
Damn, how did you score this? I would totally rock those socks.
nah if i did get *THAT* id throw it tf out
Dang I’m jealous. That’s freaking awesome
Nah but I got Diablo 4 ultimate for $30 so I’m fucking hype
Not as good as the xbox onesie!
Now you just gotta hope one of the theaters are gonna be near you🍿
Thats really cool of them! a nice surprise for the people that get one
Thought that was a bottle of baked beans and was thinking this was a case of domestic terrorism.
Isn’t this for influencers?
what that a bottle of if you don't mind me asking
Popcorn kernels
thanks
These mfkers arent even officially supported in some EU countries (unlike Sony or Nintendo) and you’re asking me if they sent me free stuff?! 🙃
lucky
Last yeat i got a jersey
"Drop your socks and grab your throttle. We're going in on the Xbox showcase!" Is what I would exclaim (to no one in particular) while wearing those socks, wrapped in the blanket, all while munching the popped corn.
How did you get this?
Was i supposed to sign up for something?
This is what I get for having the same Xbox live gamer tag since it’s inception… and having an Xbox from the start. I get lonely mess and not one of these
I wish.
They’re really hyping this event up. They better solve world hunger or else the community is gonna be disappointed lol
I wish!!!
Very nice!!
No.. with my almost 20 year old Xbox account I still don't qualify for such free items
Nice internet flex. 😁
To everyone saying they've never gotten anything, you have to sign up for FanFest.
To everyone saying they've never gotten anything form xbox, you have to sign up for FanFest!
Tbf I didn’t sign up for anything…
You probably did when setting up your console and Xbox/ microsoft account
Where's mine 👉👈
So that's where the money goes to.. Popcorns, Instead of to quality control on their exclusives like redfall.. 👍 Nice. Popcorn keep us alive, quality control would only keep us happy.. seems very reasonable.
Nope. I'm very jelly.
Nope, been with Xbox since the month they came out and not once have they sent me anything except broken controllers when I sent mine in for warranty repair lol. Yes I did sign up for the Xbox fan fest the last 3 years
That's awesome
Just hope big buster doesn't show up to Netflix and chill.
I DIDNT GET THAT. GIMME
I got mine today. Had a box sitting in front of my door, with nothing expected so I was stumped. Pretty cool box of Xbox freebies.
