Looks like Microsoft is using every precaution to transport the precious boxes full of Xboxes (yes, bad pun. I know) to the launch event in New York, and of course they're not giving up the chance to provide a good show.

A number of armored trucks just rolled into Times Square, carrying the precious cargo into their steel-clad belly. Below you can see a few pictures, courtesy of NeoGaf user Tipoo, Twitter users Albert Penello (yeah, that Albert Penello), Mauro and Robby1051, and a Vine video by Microsoft's very own Major Nelson showing the boxes as they get unloaded.

Not too bad an option for transporting a large number of $500 consoles, isn't it?
