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

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)

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

Acebot44 · 04-05-2005, 11:03 PM

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

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

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.

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..

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!

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