    Default XBOX 360?

    from 1UP.COM:
    Two interesting Xbox-related rumors popped up on the web today. According to popular gizmo website Engadget, the official name for the next generation Xbox, often referred to as Xbox Next, Xbox 2, or Xenon, is actually "Xbox 360." According to Engadget, the name was test-marketed and a source working on the project has confirmed it to them.

    I could maybe understand 180, but 360? Come on its still the same damn direction!

    I doubt thayd give it a name like that. I just doesn't have a good ring to it.

    wow thats a really un-catchy name for a console. I think xbox 2 or xbox next were good, but xbox 360 is just strange. reminds me of skateboarding games like tony hawk or...a circle

    I kinda doubt that's the real name. Will it cost $360 at launch? Will it have a skateboarding pack in game? Maybe its round. :P

    First off, we have GameCUBE and XBOX. Next off, Revolution and 360 (which is basically the same thing). Nintendo-Microsoft conspiracy? That's for you to decide.

    Maybe it's 360X as powerful as Xbox (1)?

    Hey, 360 degrees gets you right back where you started. So what they're trying to say is they're just going to push the original XBox for the next 5 years. Zing!

    360 degrees is probably about 200 degrees less than the operating temperature of PS3.

    On Valentines Day, you'll buy a heart shaped "box of chocolates".

    A box is a container, not a geometric shape.

    I think they're trying to capitalize off the outstanding success of the hottest new show on TV, "Dance 360" (check local listings). That show kicks ass. Stoned.
