PS4 vs. Xbox One - The Bribery! Gamestop managers spoiled and a white Xbox One?

I first heard about this yesterday and wasn't going to post anything, however, it is obviously a little funnier now that both Sony and Microsoft are one upping each other.

At least Microsoft is back in the fight.

GameStop managers will receive PlayStation 4 units and seven games at launch, GameStop has confirmed to Joystiq. The announcement was made at the company's GameStop EXPO, currently taking place in Las Vegas. 

A tipster informs us the games to be given with the console include: Killzone: Shadowfall, NBA 2K14, Madden, FIFA 14, Need for Speed: Rivals, Battlefield 4 and Beyond: Two Souls. That final one being a curiosity if we're to assume managers will receive PS4 versions of the listed games, since to the best of our knowledge, and reiterated by Sony in follow-up,Beyond is only for PS3.

Shortly afterwards, we all heard this notice:

Turns out, in addition to a PlayStation 4, GameStop managers will also receive an Xbox One this holiday season. The announcement was made at the retailers' expo in Las Vegas a few hours after it revealed managers would receive a PS4 and seven games.

Neowin reached out to GameStop and the company confirmed the detail. The Xbox One console will be given to all the general managers of the company's 6,500 stores, whether or not they attended the expo. No word on whether it will also include software.

 Also mentioned was that the Microsoft employees will receive a white Xbox One:

I personally like the look of this much better, especially considering White is the new black, and looks more in common with Xbox 360 than a TiVO.
