Someone Stuck An Xbox One At The Bottom Of A Shark Tank In New Zealand

Sorry, New Zealand — you are not the site of the first Xbox One to be sold in the world, despite this promotional stunt involving an Auckland aquarium. About 150 folks already have theirs and didn’t have to swim to the bottom of a shark tank for it.

But Microsoft pressed ahead with this anyway because, hell, it’s an Xbox One in the bottom of a shark tank. That’s a good photo. Why New Zealand? The country lays claim to having the first sunrise over land in the world, though there are all sorts of disputes and disclaimers to that if you want to have a pointless argument in your best Comic Book Guy voice. All I know is Santa Claus visits New Zealand first, and he is a UN official so that settles that.

There are 20 sharks in this tank, each one capable of taking down a 350kg fur seal, so this console is well guarded. How about, when midnight strikes, the lucky First Customer gets handed a wetsuit and a speargun? I’d tune in to see that.
