^SEEMS TOO PERFECT DEPT: I'm... a little skeptical. Yes, I know
  this went on the AP Wire and Snopes believed it to be true. I
  remember the rumor - the game was so terrible, Atari buried the
  remaining copies in a landfill - threw them out basically. But
  Microsoft making a documentary about it and releasing it to
  coincide with the next Xbox.. hm.. Ok Microsoft has the money to
  launch a big dig, true. But they also have the money to do a big
  publicity stunt. So... while history will record it to be true
  ("It was in the news - it must be true!") I will remain
  skeptical. I WANT to believe. I really do.^
