Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

This is cool news. The number 360 sounds powerful and makes me want to offer my support and allegiance.

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

now all we need is a visual...

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

Xbox 360? hmm, interesting :p

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

Ex-Box Three Sixty

vs

Playstation Three


GAME ON!

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

That name SUCKS. BAD. And if they don't make backwards compatability and a HD standard, my first next gen console will be the PS3 (which looks baddasss)

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

yea this name has been on the rumor list for a while. it has also been considered one of the worst of the rumored choises for a while. Dont like it. but then again i havnt liked many of the names. what will be the next one? xbox 720 ? wonder if its gunna launch with a skateboard game. Dissapointed with this choice of name. i was really hoping for Xenon

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

Xenon was the best of the choices I had heard. I thought Xbox 360 was just a joke name really. They just had to add a number in there :-o

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

I guess the name could be worse, like " Crap Box "

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

I beg to differ, I would buy something called the "Crap Box" just to say I owned a Crap Box. How many people would proudly say "I own an Xbox 360!!"?

Opposed to the people who would proudly say "I own a Crap Box!!".



I could try make a really insightful comment on how the "360" symbolizes the fact they are trying to make a big difference in the gaming world, but just end up going in the same direction they were initially going anyways......but I wont.

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

All microsoft needs to do now is lose HD and BC standards and it will definitely kill it's fan base.

Way to Go microsoft... Xenon would've been a sure win..

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

Funny how Microsoft decided to keep the XBox name going like Sony did with Playstation. I was wondering if they'd keep the big name going, ala Sony, or change the name with each system, ala Nintendo (although Nintendo's name is pretty much the equivilent of the Playstation or XBox name, so it's not really a fair comparison).

Xenon: A colourless, odourless gas used in electric luminescent tubes to provide a bright light.

Man, what a boring and weak name to append to a console of such great promise and power. Thank you Microsoft, for dodging that one. Let's show these cyber punks the power of 360!

yeah, that's crap. imagine a clear-cased console filled with electric luminescent tubes and a bright light. *yawn*

360...I picked up my glass of water and rotated it along its vertical axis 360 degrees about 10 minutes ago...long story short, Im still trying to contain my ungodly amount of excitement. I would do it again, but Im afraid I might suffer some form of heart failure. WHAT A RUSH!

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

Dying to play Halo 360, DoA 360 and Fable 360. ;)

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

I think the 360 stands for how much it's going to weigh....

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

If they are so dead set on that name, I think they should at least knock the Xbox off the name and call it just the 360. Xbox 360 sounds more like an add-on for the current console than the next-generation microsoft offering.

The numbering scheme works for Sony since playstation in my mind is just another way of referring to a console, but to me Xbox always referred to the design of the current console and therefore, is too closely related to this generation to be carried on in the name.

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

Well they can't call it Xbox 2. Consumers in this country are so ****ing stupid there'd be people who wouldn't buy an Xbox 2 simply because 3>2 and we already know that the next sony system is PS3.

This gets around it quite nicely, though personally I liked NexTBox

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

well now people going to be saying, its 360 bit!!!!! :p

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

when the think its 360 and it's actually 256 .... it's deceiving I tell ya

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

*coughprobably64bitcough*


:p

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

64 bit???

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

you do know the xbox is 32 bit, so is ps2, and your computer is most likely 32bit (they just started making 64bit chips) right?

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

of course I knew...

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

you like thoes smileys dont ya? hehe, i'll give you a reason to use another tho, I HATE THEM!!! :sneaky:

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

cuz your smiley's pale in comparison to the size of mine!

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

pfft.




Anywhoo...360. So what is that? The Xbox again? They returned to the starting point. Maybe the packaging will be different...

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

It's going to be an Xbox on a circular pivot gyro, so it can spin in 360 degrees so it adjusts to wherever your playing.

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

like IGN said, it's xbox 360 so it's better than a (nintendo) revolution, it's a 360

and it's better than playstation 3, it's xbox 360






eh, i'm curious to see if it can do some serious stuff.

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

I highly doubt it's more powerful than the PS3, considering what developers are saying after getting their dev kits.

If we speculate ANYTHING without actually seeing anything, the PS3 and Xbox 360 are probably on the same level, and of course the Revolution is this huge revolution in gaming that we know nothing about.

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

they just mean that is what the name means, 360 is far greater then a 3, and 360 is a 'revolution' fully around. so its better then a revolution. hehe

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

I believe that this console will be round, therefore shattering all modern perceptions of the word "box".

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

The name can be perceived as many things. Many people think it represents the power over the PS3 in numerical value.

However I believe thats how much it's going to launch at.... $360.00 and they are betting to sell about 360,000 of them...lol

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

Would have been interesting if Redmond's area code was 360...but it's 425.

Re: Next Xbox Named...
 

Xbox 360..hmm....

I think the name is too......contains too many numbers....or can just be one number....

Or it could just be in abbreviations like the XB
