Microsoft wanted to use the partnership to showcase how people could use their Xbox to watch live games and access fantasy football stats. The deal, worth a reported $400 million over five years - and later extended in 2020 - was originally set up to be all about Xbox, according to Hall. Former Seattle Seahawks coordinator Tom Cable shows a previous play to a lineman during a game. “This thing had EVERY opportunity to fail along the way!” he tweeted. “It’s been a great outcome.”Įarlier this NFL season Hall shared behind-the-scenes insights about the deal. Microsoft detailed that there are limited quantities available only at Liberty and Microsoft Stores in select markets.“It’s a feel good story,” said Brian Hall, a former Microsoft exec who helped lead the Surface business when the NFL deal kicked off.

Liberty's website lists that it won't ship to the United States and we don't see it listed on the Microsoft Store. The Surface Pro 9 Liberty Special Edition, though, is really a special treat, as it seems like a product that will be quite hard to find. Microsoft in the past had special edition Surface Type Covers featuring the logo of NFL teams. It's not strange for Microsoft to release extraordinary Type Covers like the Liberty Keyboard with Slim Pen 2. It comes with 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, and the Intel Core i5-1235U CPU. Currently, the special edition is listed on the Liberty website for a price of $1,800. It's laser engraved and isn't an ordinary Surface Pro 9. The design of that Liberty Keyboard with Slim Pen 2 also matches up with the special Surface Pro 9 Liberty Special Edition. It's why you'll notice blueish flowers on the Type Cover. That team puts unique thought into their products and designs like this one, going outside to draw and get inspired by the real world.
