Today we got a new promotion from our resident wholesaler of electric supply

If i buy light switches from a certain brand for 1.000 Euro, i get a free Xbox One controller

If i buy stuff for 5.000 Euro, i get a free Xbox One

Now this seems to me like a bit of an odd promotion.

First because it is not for the public, but only if you buy wholesale for re-distribution, so it does not neccesarly target any specific audience.

And second because of the timing. I have seen this kind of promotions before with all the recent consoles, but never before they released. This usually happens when they are in their prime.

But i suppose if you are in Austria and in the right job, you could get yourself a free Xbox One that way.



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

- George Orwell, ‘1984’
