Apart from all these, what makes the Xbox fans disappointing is that Microsoft doesn't appear to have made anything special as there is no custom design for the Xbox 360 or its controllers and not even an addition of an appealing little label emphasizing the 10^th anniversary, or anything to that context. Only thing one can find is the box itself which reveals the actuality that the bundle represents its 10^th birthday.
