Microsoft announces Xbox One S campaign with Helzberg

This might come totally out of the blue for some people, but whoever spends at least $1,000 on jewelry at Helzberg Diamonds will receive a free Xbox One S if the purchase is made between November 22 and December 24.

While at first glance it’s pretty hard to figure out what the Xbox and diamonds have in common, Microsoft’s latest campaign brings several goodies to jewelry buyers, including not only an Xbox One S console, but also one Xbox One controller, a three-month trial of Xbox Live Gold, and a three-month membership to Xbox Game Pass.

What’s worth emphasizing is that this promo does not concern Microsoft’s recently-launched Xbox One X, but the S-labeled gaming console in Started Bundle edition. This version of the console costs $249 from the Microsoft Store.

Xbox One X sweepstake

In addition to getting an Xbox One S completely free with every $1,000 or more purchase, Helzberg customers are also being offered the chance to win the more expensive Xbox One X.

“In addition to the Xbox One S bundle gift with purchase, Helzberg Diamonds is offering their customers to feel true power with a chance to win an Xbox One X, the world’s most powerful console. From November 3 through December 17. You can enter to win one of 100 Xbox One X consoles either in-store at a Helzberg Diamonds location or via the sweepstakes page online,” Microsoft explains.

It goes without saying that this offer runs as long as supplies last, but we really doubt that so many customers would spend $1,000 on diamonds only to get the free Xbox.

You can find all the Helzberg Diamonds locations on their website here, but if you plan to buy jewelry only to take advantage of the campaign launched with Microsoft, you better call to ask for stock in advance just to make sure they’re not already sold out.
