I can't believe how many people think that bribery is ok. The contract specifically says that any participant cannot disclose that they're part of this promotion. This is against the law and yet another example of why people do not like MS:
"That's not the case, however. According to a leaked copy of the full legal agreement behind the promotion, video creators "may not say anything negative or disparaging about Machinima, Xbox One, or any of its Games" and must keep the details of the promotional agreement confidential in order to qualify for payment. In other words, to get the money, video makers have to speak positively (or at least neutrally) about the Xbox One, and they can't say they're being paid to do so."

do you mean... Like and ad? Wow...
ps: one thing i hate is the anonymous leaks, no one can corroborate the thing. At least the user could post a pic of the email or whatever i mean, pastebin? Really?

No not like and ad. And ad requires you to put a disclaimer at the bottom indicating the person giving the "opinion" has been compensated. Happens literally on every infomercial.
Microsoft here is specifically doing the opposite, telling people to lie and hide the fact they've been paid. This is regulated and fined by the FTC.
You're allowed to have sponsors and promotions, and paid reviewers etc, what you can't do is do it under the table and pretend is not happening.
