Thanks everyone. Bethesda already sent the confirmation email with the shipping details. Looks like I'll have it by the end of next week. I don't know if it includes any games, HD size, etc. but it's pretty sweet looking and it's not a system made for retail. So it's pretty limited. Guess I'll get to play the Rare Replay games after all. :P
-
Wow your wife got lucky, congrats! :D

Thats looking good, congrats.

Didn't you win a taco bell PS4 too? You lucky son of a gun.

I don't know if that counts as a win turf. I still have stomach cramps from those quesarito demons.
Just to be clear because I didn't explicitly say it and I figure it may be misinterpreted, I only won the Xbox One system and not the PS4. The only pic I could find was the two together.
In any event, still pretty cool and I'll finally get to play the old Rare games. I always said I wouldn't buy another Xbox branded console and I stand by that. But I'm also not going to toss it in the trash. And that Doom paint job is pretty friggin awesome looking!

Believe me, the thought has crossed my mind. If I see them going for ridiculous sums, I may have to think about it. It's Doom, it looks cool and I'll have the chance to play a few games that are exclusive. I've looked and sealed copies of Sunset Overdrive go for less than fifteen bucks. I picked up the Master Chief Collection for $22 new/sealed & shipped on eBay. Along with Rare Replay, I'll be good for quite some time. There is honestly not that many games I want/want to play that are Xbox exclusive and I've cut way back on my collecting as is. I'll be more than happy to revisit the Bungie-era Halo games. I've missed those.

Congrats, but yea if it was me, I'd be selling it in a heartbeat. I'm not a modern gamer nor a doom fan so it means nothing to me. I could use that money for some nice retro pre-crash goodies for the collection. That's not to diminish your win. It's awesome because you won and it's awesome that its something you love, so again, congrats :)

I definitely considered selling it when I got it. I'm sure it would go for big money being a custom system from Bethesda themselves. But...I've always loved Doom. I even broke my "no-game-buying" moratorium for Doom. I've been sitting on copies of Rare Replay and Titanfall (Collector's Edition) for quite some time now. I just went ahead and picked up the Halo Master Chief Collection on eBay and I'll probably pick up Sunset Overdrive since I can get a new/sealed copy for fifteen bucks (and it's one of the few Xbox exclusives that I was sad to never have a chance to play). Ori and the Blind Forest sounds great and it's on disc now for under $20 so I'll get that. There are some others I will eventually probably pick up when the price is right. I'm not looking to get into Xbox gaming in any major capacity, let alone buying full-retail priced games.

personally if it were me I would attempt to trade it for that sweet sweet ps4 one. it looks 1,000,000x better than the xbox version.
How many were made for each?
-
Don't forget that you can play some old 360 games on that thing! (unless you alreaady own a 360, lol)

No clue. I assume it's a very small amount, probably in the hundreds at most for each. I'm good with it since I already own three PS4s. And hey, this will give me a chance to go back and play the classic Halo games. I still love those.

Ah, no 360 for a couple years now. But the 360 games I would be interested in are dirt cheap now (Reach, ODST) and are backward compatible.
-
Well, I think I pretty much have the games I wanted to play now. Just waiting for the Xbox to arrive.
I have eight games now:
Ori and the Blind Forest
Halo the Master Chief Collection
Halo 5 Guardians
Gears of War Ultimate Edition
Rare Replay
Ryse Day One Edition (hey, it was seven bucks with a shiny metallic cover!)
Sunset Overdrive Day One Edition
Titanfall Collector's Edition

Here it is! They included a copy of Doom signed by a bazillion people too!

Man that looks freakin' dope!

Rock on. Congratulations!!

That looks awesome! Are those all the people that worked on Doom?

I'm not sure if it's the "Doom team" or Bethesda staff or what. I'm inclined to think it's the Doom team being it's the Doom game and the console is Doom-themed.
Thank you everybody! It's always cool to win stuff, but when it's gaming stuff it makes it that much sweeter! :P
-
lmao it came in a division box.... WTF? if you ever go to sell it people are going to be like that's not the right box for it.
also just thought of this. are you going to make a separate listing for that autographed doom?
I also want you to know I tried searching for this on ebay and.... no listings!
-
Considering that it's a custom design, it makes sense that it has to have another box. I don't think the OP was going to auction these off - he seemed pretty happy to be able to play DOOM and the other xbone games he recently purchased.
Congrats! The prizes look great!

My understanding is that Bethesda themselves customized these systems, that's why it's in a standard/bundle/whatever system box. They are not for sale and there are extremely limited numbers of them, from my understanding less than 50 were produced of both the PS4 and 'bone combined. Happily, it's a 1 terabyte HDD model. I'm probably going to sell the Division download code as I really have no desire to ever play that game.
I'm not planning on making a separate listing for the Doom game. It's pretty special to me and it's cool that it's autographed by a bazillion people who made the game, but I think I will just put a notation in the comments box.
And yes, the first thing I did was search on eBay to see if there were any listings. Nada. One may pop up soon-ish since I believe they were just shipped out this week to the winners. I have printouts and emails saved as well as screenshots of the Twitter contest as proof of what this is exactly.

Thank you! While dollar signs did dance through my mind when I thought of what this would sell for, ultimately I am happy to have it. While I said I would never buy another Xbox system, I wouldn't turn down a freebie. Especially since it effectively removes the barrier keeping me from playing Halo and Gears of War. Oh, and Rare Replay which I've wanted to play forever now. I've had Doom for the PS4 since a day after release so I probably won't really mess with it on the Xbox One. But I've been able to pick up over a half-dozen games for an average of about $20 for the system that I know I will enjoy.
Ori and the Blind Forest, Halo the Master Chief Collection, Halo 5 Guardians, Rare Replay, Sunset Overdrive, Gears of War and Ryse. And I already had Titanfall. I also bought a $1.50 digital copy of Max and the Curse of the Brotherhood or something like that.
And I'm good with that. I may or may not buy Titanfall 2 for the Xbox One. While I know the PS4 would undoubtedly be quicker to install and I have friends on there, I usually stick to the same console/brand for series. I'll probably pick up Gears of War 4, especially since it has free downloads of the four previous games thrown in for free. But the majority of my gaming will still be on the PS4 for sure.
