Abstract
This promotional video was distributed around the launch of the Xbox Live service. Although the commercial was distributed with Xbox games in 2002, according to the donor, this VHS tape was meant to be displayed in video game stores. It would have been mailed to retailers along with an Xbox Live light-up sign.
