Happy birthday Xbox! You're ten years old now. Who could've imagined that you'd evolve from having the biggest controller in the world... to no controller at all?

A 10 year anniversary is quite a big deal, so how's Microsoft going to celebrate? By giving everyone a free Avatar prop. You can get a digital gift box for your virtual profile, which explodes into fireworks. It may not be a free game, or free Microsoft Points, but at least it's something, right?

In addition to the prop giveaway, Microsoft is celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Xbox by having a "Thank You" sale. Starting right now, you'll be able to pick up mediocre savings, including:

  • Halo 3 (Games on Demand) - $29.99
  • UNO - 200 Microsoft Points
  • Fable III: Traitor's Keep Quest Pack (DLC) - 280 Microsoft Points
  • Gears of War 2: All Fronts Collection (DLC) - 400 Microsoft Points
