In which what Ktay95 said is right http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5983566

This post has new info: for one participants in this contract can't say that they've been paid to promote the Xbox.

Not mentioned in the OP (but mentioned in the article he linked) is that this might be illegal as it breaches the Federal Trade Commission's (FTC)  guidelines for endorsements- namely that there needs to be full disclosure that payment was made to promote the product.
