It's sub $400 at the moment on eBay and the ARV was $600 which isn't terrible. The controler is useful so I might keep that, but I might just hold off and see where the price goes after the promo ends in a few weeks. Especially closer to Christmas.

Yeah, I'd totally keep it unused in the box, including the controller, until like mid-December or so and make bank off the whole package. Could easily get $600+ once eBay stock goes low.

The fine print on the promotion says there'll be more than 5400 given away so the market will definitely be a bit loaded for the time being. I entered and won last week and signed for it today so the delivery turnaround is very fast. Beyond that, the promo is still about halfway through so there's a couple thousand more waiting in the eaves.

For any Goon who wants to win, here's the way the contest supposedly works: For every 10 minute block, a time within it is randomly selected and the first code to come in after that time is the winner for that block. With the number of Xboxes given away and the times it spans, it very literally means every 10 minutes, 24 hours a day. Nominally speaking, that means if you hold onto a code and then punch it in at 6AM, you'll have better odds than if you put it in at Noon just because there'd presumably be less people putting in codes at that time. I put mine in at 9:35/9:36PM (idk if the code text or the confirmation text is the trigger) EST on 10/30.

1. GAME PERIOD

The Game begins at 12:00:00 AM Pacific Time (“PT”) on October 17, 2019 and ends at 8:59:59 PM PT on November 23, 2019 (“Game Period”). The Administrator’s computer is the Game’s official clock.

5. PRIZES, APPROXIMATE RETAIL VALUE ("ARV"), AND ODDS OF WINNING

Prizes (5,454): Each winner will receive an Xbox One X Eclipse Limited Edition, Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate 6-month membership. The ARV of each prize is $599. The total number of prizes awarded in the Game will not exceed five thousand four hundred fifty-four (5,454). Limit one (1) prize per person/household. The ARV of prizes is subject to price fluctuations in the consumer marketplace based on, among other things, any gap in time between the date the ARV is estimated for purposes of these Official Rules and the date the prize is awarded or redeemed.
Total ARV: The total ARV of all prizes available in the Game is $3,266,946.
Odds: The odds of winning a prize depend on when the entrant completes a Game Play. Prizes will be made available at random times throughout the Game Period, with one (1) prize randomly seeded during each ten (10) minute interval of the Game Period. The first person to complete a Game Play at or after the randomly predetermined winning time as determined by the Administrator will be a potential winner of a prize. The number of prizes available to be won will decrease during the Game Period as prizes are awarded and claimed. The ARV of prizes is subject to price fluctuations in the consumer marketplace based on, among other things, any gap in time between the date the ARV is estimated for purposes of these Official Rules and the date the prize is awarded or redeemed.

It's kinda a neat box. It's one of those single piece fold-ups and the inside has the Taco Bell pattern printed inside. Even, absent the interior pattern it's a very convenient size to store stuff.

The xbox itself is unique to the promo, an article I read said they sold for pretty ridiculous prices last time they ran it but I never saw what those were.

“I’ve been about Taco Bell ever since I was in college, man. It’s been my favorite fast-food restaurant,” the Grand Valley State graduate said. “That’s a delicacy. We don’t get to eat it too often, but after games, if they’re open, I go there.”

“I’ve been trying new stuff,” Judon said. “The fries, those are good. Crunch wraps, those are good. And the breakfast is off the chain.”

When I told Judon I didn’t know Taco Bell served breakfast, he was legitimately shocked/offended.

“Whaaaaat? You don’t know nothing about Taco Bell. You’re not a fiend like me,” he said.

The first time I went to Taco Bell, I think the Double Decker taco was in stores as a promo before it became a regular thing or something and It's been one of my favorites ever since. It's removal from the menu upsets me somewhat.
