It would be a help if you post a picture of the Xbox Kinect. I've never heard or seen this model, and from a quick search I couldn't find anything on it!
Sorry, I can't figure out how to list pictures here.
I will upload them here
Microsoft Xbox 360 Kinect Console

Well I looked around, all I found is the description is wrong on the variations page. The ID sticker on the back of the Xbox 360 you have dates it as November 10th, 2010, which was 6 days after the Kinect launched in North America. The variations page says it was made as a promotional item/sweepstakes prize for 24 million Kinect's sold. The Kinect wouldn't hit 24 million units sold till around early 2013, so unless Microsoft made this promo item 3 years in advance, the sweepstakes prize is made up.
This is entirely speculation, but I bet this was a model given out to employees who worked on the Kinect, mostly because it says "because of you," implying the owner of the special edition made the Kinect happen. And the release of this special model being around the launch of the Kinect also lines up with this.
Interesting! I don't have any information on this console. I own an electronics recycling company and we got this recycled to us and I couldn't find any information online other than what's on Console Variations.
I haven't been able to find any of these for sale online either. All information is good at this point! Thank you
Since there is very little information online on this, how would I go about verifying units produced or if this was a giveaway to employees or sweepstakes? I guess I could contact Microsoft, but I doubt they would respond to a random email regarding this haha
Sorry for late response, I have no clue honestly. There's basically no info about it, so we don't know if it's connected to some sweepstakes/contest, and trying every Xbox employee from around 2010 would be impossible. I'd try the Xbox 360 subreddit though, usually Reddit knows everything.
Thanks [KoolAid3], my employee originally posted it on the reddit xbox 360 page and it led us here because this is the only information available online. We do have some YouTube channels that want to feature it on their channels, maybe more social media exposure will bring more information!
Would you upload a clear photo of other side too. i mean the fan side?
