There’s an Xbox One in New Zealand that’s being guarded by 20 sharks

Twenty live sharks are currently keeping an eye, and a few rows of teeth, on the first Xbox One that is set to be sold in New Zealand at 12.01am on November 22.

Twenty live sharks are currently keeping an eye, and a few rows of teeth, on the first Xbox One that is set to be sold to the public on November 22.

Seeing as New Zealand is nice and close to the International Date Line, they will have the pleasure of selling the very first Xbox One to a lucky member of the public at 12.01 am on November 22.

So to make sure that nothing bad happens to the Xbox One in question, the guys from Microsoft New Zealand decided to drop the console into a shark tank at Kelly Tarlton’s SEA LIFE Aquarium in Auckland.

The shark guarded Xbox One will be fished out in time for the official launch next week and while it’s certainly an interesting stunt, you could argue that Microsoft are jumping the shark on this one…

We’re just disappointed they didn’t have lasers strapped to their heads.
