Xbox 360 sales have reached the one million mark across Australia and New Zealand.
To celebrate, MS is auctioning off a series of specially designed 360s with the help of celebrities including Russell Crow and Hugh Jackman. Among the consoles up for grabs is the rather special Halo one pictured, and all proceeds go to charity.
"Reaching the one million console milestone is a great achievement and one that puts us in a great position for the coming year," said David McLean, Microsoft Australia's regional director, Entertainment and Devices Division.
"Since 2006, we've taken the lead in the innovation space and driven the growth in online entertainment," he added.
"Our online community, Xbox Live, is one of the largest online communities in the ANZ region with more than 525,000 subscribers. We also offer services such as Facebook and Twitter on Xbox Live and movies streamed in HD direct to your television, which really sets us apart from our competition."
We want those Xbox consoles.
