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.

Requirement Wow, thats crazy. That most of took them awhile.
I'm more interested in the amount of money that that thing would of taken to make. Seems to me like it would be pretty expensive

Frog Sure, it's advertising, but not the best form of advertising haha. Quite cool, but pretty useless in my opinion...
It could act as a pretty cool memorabilia of the Xbox One's launch though. I would bet that it will go on display somewhere after the launch
