Microsoft puts Xbox One in a shark tank in New Zealand
Now, we aren’t sure how happy we would be if our new console was sitting in massive tank filled with sharks and, more importantly, thousands of gallons of electronic-killing water, but we suspect this console will likely be given away to the first person in line. Besides, who wants a console that has already been opened (if you are paying for it, that is), as part of the fun is ripping open the box to behold the treasures inside.
The console can be viewed if you go to Kelly Tarlton's SEA LIFE Aquarium in Auckland where the console will reside until Nov. 22, when the Xbox One goes on sale.
While it is a cheesy marketing stunt, the promotion has gained attention around the world which, in our book, makes it a huge success.

It is a pretty cool idea, I think it would be great if these sorts of gimmicks were done all around the world in countless locations. In this case, it would be pretty great to visit Sea Life Aquarium and randomly get pulled aside and told you've won a free Xbox One.

For everyone saying this is stupid, it is advertising.
It obviously got TTG to post about it so it did its job.

LaserShowShen Honestly, I don't see what is so special here lol.
They are trying to see which stupid person will swim down there and try to break it open to take it.
