Love Windows Phone? Show it with your Xbox Avatar and three new Windows Phone props.
You've asked for it and now you'll get it. In the continued push by Nokia and Microsoft of the outstanding Lumia line of Windows Phone, new Xbox Avatar props have been created. What's more, they're free.
The props were noticed by the site Xbox Avatar Gear and come in three flavors:
- Nokia Windows Phone Longboard
- Windows Phone #1 foam finger
- I <3 Windows Phone shirt
So how do you get one? Simple, you just sign up for the Windows Phone Insider Newsletter. That's it. Once you do so, you'll receive an email with your Redeem Code which you can then enter at Xbox.com. We did it and managed to grab a Longboard which is pretty snazzy.
This isn't the first time we've seen Windows Phone Xbox props before. Back in June 2011 we saw a prop for US users that was simply a Windows Phone device that your avatar held in his hand and tossed around. There was also a limited edition Beards n Beaks one which was quite amusing.
However this new offer looks to be a much more widely available which is a good thing. Show off to your friends and share the Windows Phone love. Go grab it now.
