If you were keeping track earlier this week, you likely saw that Xbox dropped an insane 90s music video to promote the Xbox All Access program, performed by none other than "90s R&B sensation" All-4-One.
It was brilliant, quickly going viral across the web, and Xbox followed this up by sending out a variety of care packages to influencers containing not only a link to the video, but a whole bunch of extra goodies.
In addition to consoles, controllers and Game Pass subscriptions, the bundles contained a personalised 90s style Xbox jacket, a mock-up CD design for the song, and a personalised message from the band on the CD itself.
Along with sending out these bundles, Xbox also posted a very brief video showing some outtakes from the "It's All There" video shoot featuring All-4-One, featuring a running gag where the band keeps singing the wrong lyrics.
Xbox really has smashed it out of the park with this marketing campaign, with the only downside being that these bundles again appear to be limited to influencers alone, and the general public sadly can't get access to them.
What are your thoughts on this whole marketing campaign? Let us know down in the comments below.

The rich get richer. Maybe I should try my hand at professional beggi..I mean being an influencer.
@PhhhCough It does get old.
Anyone else getting tired of hearing about "influencers" getting free stuff from companies? I'm sure this guy already has an Xbox. They should send these care packages to actual fans, people who would enjoy them. Half the time these people don't even seem grateful. They're just like "look what (brand) sent me!" then they toss it into a closet somewhere.
Damn I really have to start thinking about being an influencer with the amount of goods they get.
To all the wanna be influencers. Good Luck.
@PhhhCough To be fair they are sending some stuff to normal gamers too.
I signed up to the Xbox Fan Fest event and received a HUGE box filled with Xbox branded goodies like an Xbox T-shirt, blanket, Cushion, Fanfest cup, those Halo themed Moa burger Pringles and a 2 year activation of Dolby Atmos for Xbox.
I have been on Xbox Live for almost 15+ years fwiw but didn't expect a thing. Was super stoked!!!
@themightyant hells yeah! That's what I'm talkin bout! More love and goodwill to the daily consumer, would go farther than some influencer with limited reach.
@Zochmenos indeed and often MUCH cheaper for a similar result, which could mean money spent elsewhere
@PhhhCough I would love to agree with you, but my reach is about 3 people, whereas a decent influencer could be tens or hundreds of thousands. At the end of the day it’s where the smart money is, still appreciated the package!
@TheMightyAnt - i remember during the OG Xbox generation, i received a random delivery in the post which had an Xbox T-Shirt and some other random items (probably a keyring or something similar) and a pack of Boost Guarana chocolate bars (random but i remember them being very nice)
Unfortunately there were no controllers or consoles or anything like that in the delivery but it was cool and unexpected. No idea to this day why i received it but hey ho
