XBOX's New Name?

"We are not completely positive how true this is, but most of the things GilZ (code name) sends our way are true. GilZ was correct about the new price drops, new HDMI models, new Elites, and now a picture sent to us with clearly visible text, in what appears to be either the 360's new name or the next xbox's final name. "XBOXPure" is what looks to be the final choice in this document. Take a look!"

[big shadow]

cool pictures

[I LOVE my xbox]

If anything... a new model is way overdue. RROD is just not cutting it anymore.

[big shadow]

thats true

[Tomdc]

i think xbox and wii are rubbish names. when you think about it properely "playstation" is also s bit lame, but the brand power that name has is tooo good for sony to ever change it.

[-_-]

[[According to Infinite,they are calling it Flopbox]]

[DavidMacDougall]

Needs a fire extinguisher 720 , cheap piece of sh!t only idiots buy 720 , they only want your money 720 , if it brakes by another and it will brake 720 , if you want to play 360 games dont buy this ....thats some names iv got i found "Toaster" was to easy

[cemelc]

Pfffffff everyone knows is going to be called BurnBox

[thekingofMA]

i'm sorry,,,but that just wasn't funny

usually i'll applaud people who actually make good biased jokes...but that simply was not good

ugh

[Gam71]

they can't call it burnbox because sony need that.

they haven't decided if its for the psp, laptop batteries or the laptops themselves.

[Pain]

2, anything beter then having to trick joe blow Soccer mom in to thinking its a number #3 when its a #2 so not to look more inferior next to PS#'3' is beter imo.

Calling the XBOX 2 '360 was so when its next to a PS '3', the name 360 make's moron Soccer moms think 360 means 3. not console 2.

but xbots will say no since they morons.

@gam71 just shut up kid. sonys Laptop batteries are what they are laptop batteries not Burn your house down Video game consoles.

try again u fail.

[Gam71]

Pain after i clicked on show, why do you have only 1 bubble?, to read your comment I gave up with the first part (learn english) but i did realise why you only have 1 bubble.

"sonys Laptop batteries are what they are laptop batteries not Burn your house down Video game consoles."

Yes they are what they are. Dangerous. How many complaints from people being burned?
What about the psp's that gave now was it second or third degree burns i can't remember. Your paid by sony to troll so you're in the know, which was it?

you admit the batteries caused injuries, more then sony have.
But now its not the batteries burning people its the laptops themselves.

Wow.

Also 'kid'? someone with your obvious lack of intelligence is either a kid themselves or just an overweight adult sat at his computer with no prospects because he never went to school.

A little bit extra time spent typing and when people are skimming your comments ready to dismiss them the might accidentally pick up some of the drivel you so desperately want them to see.

[FantasyStar]

They want that image picture back.

[JPC]

“Oh yeah, the jerkstore called and they are running out of you.”

lol j/k saw the chance to use a Seinfeld quote and had to take it.

[-_-]

[[They should call it the Failbox imo]]

[Flopbox]

They should call it ZzzBox

[PopEmUp]

Lol just looking at that pic make me wanna laugh again

[keops3]

this could be a slim version of the 360 (lean) (new name but not new console = redesing)

[TheBarExam_2]

Same thought I had

[RealityCheck]

Yes it all points to a slimmer re-design. Probably using the new chips for both CPU and GPU, so a Jasper model.

Smaller size will help sales in Japan. Cooler will help those that still fear RROD.

Most importantly for MS, being cheaper to built it will make room for price cuts in the future. Also with this redesign the 360 will have some staying power to coexist with the next Xbox (720?), just like the PS2 slim is coexisting with the PS3.

[Cheeseknight28]

The article is fake.

CAG had a contest for someone to create a fake article and see if a major news site would link to it. Whoever posted this won.

[likedamaster]

They did do the contest but it was before this article, what other sites are saying is, that because of this contest they lose all credibility for future posts/rumors.

[keops3]

the name should be NEXTBOX but I patented it hahaha now they only can call it xbox361

[juuken]

Errr...yay?
If it's more reliable, I'll consider it.

[RememberThe357]

but thats a really gay name.

Hope it's a slim model.

[clinker]

I agree. Xbox PURE sounds like:

-a gay nightclub
-bottled drinking water
-a cure for herpes

[BabyStomper5000]

Or a really strong drug.

[MiloGarret]

Or a racing video game with ATV's.

[poopsack]

RROD 2.0?

nah im just kidding, i hope this wont be out soon or it will cause a big mess in gaming for both devs and consumers.

[BlackMist]

i like it.

[lnfinite]

"[[According to Infinite,they are calling it Flopbox]] "

100% Accurate,they are currently using the Codename "Project Flop"

[lnfinite]

Much like Midget Porn,the Xbox Brand is indeed only Suited for those with Peculiar Fetishes

[Gam71]

peculiar fetishes, isn't that the excuse given for the low sales of mgs4 when every ps3 owner didn't buy it?

[lnfinite]

I can Verify they are Stocking Xbox 360s next to the Frozen Waffles Section

[--Onilink--]

well at this point it would still be a codename in case it was the next xbox. take for example the wii, any inside person could have told you it was gonna be called revolution and they would have been wrong

[silverchode]

xbox purecrap :)

[TrevorPhillips]

Xboxpure doesn't seem to be that bad its OK better than 720

[Tsalagi]

XboxPure sounds like some brand of bottled water for gamers. Xbox720 (as much as i hate that name) sounds better than "Pure".

[divideby0]

you can call a pig a cow..but in the long run its still a pig

call it anything you want, a change of name is meaningless, a PS3 is a PS3 and 360 is a 360
if this is true..someone gets paid a lot of money to come up with ideas like this and the likes of the new MS commercials which I think I read are being yanked

[lnfinite]

[Mutley416]

Xbox is gonna re-invent it self...Bill didn`t get all that money from hand outs-

New Sku, Good price...Sign me up-

[DJ]

Guess the new one's coming out sooner than we thought.

[Aft3rKill]

hopfully not too soon, look what happen to the 360. If this is a slim version then they better fix the RROD problem. I am sure the RROD problem is gonna be long lasting. Even when the next one comes out people are still gonna struggle to make a decision. MS didn't just loose sales, they lost loyalty, and trust along with it.

[joydestroy]

the real question is will they announce this before the holidays or after? my guess would be after unless it's already been manufactured. because M$ wouldn't want to lose sales because people are waiting for a new version.

[Bill Gates]

063XOBX

Cause all they do go backwards with their shiety consoles....HAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHH A

[ROCCOZILLA]

who names a console after a ATV stunt game.xbox is in some serious trouble my friends.come on over to the DARK SIDE.free online gaming,blu ray,HOME,life with playstation,best exclusive games and PSN.PLAY B3YOND waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay B3YOND!!!

[joebahrjoebahr]

theres nothign dark about the playstation. its a video game system. corny assssholes on this site

[bunbun777]

maybe you're gay.

[thekingofMA]

but how many times do you think that the picture used for this story (the snowglobe front slot-drive xbox) has been used on this site?

on topic: i hope it's a slim 360 redesign or something, because 720 would be a much better name (think of the slogan: 720 degrees of entertainment, or some corny little thing)

[Agent VX]

They should name it the Xbox 360 Advanced, cause it out performs every console on the market.

[DJ]

Yeah, and Wii is more powerful than the PS3 too. *rolls eyes

Microsoft has a big inferiority complex, and I doubt they want to mess around with the 360 any longer. It's losing popularity on a global scale (Japan is a lost cause, and Europe is looking the same as well). If they come out with a new Xbox console within two years, they'll not only beat Sony by about 3~4 years to the next generation of consoles, they'll also have a more capable console for that period as well.

[TrevorPhillips]

wait a minute why not name it Xbox Xenon

[DJ]

Instead of just doing "Xbox ____", continue to use the X in a creative manner.

[INehalemEXI]

2 X's not a good idea. X_X. Naming something box was not a good idea either since maybe one generation you might want a design thats not ....a box.

[VF34EJ25]

I like Xbox 360 better.

[KiddyBrownTurd]

M$ > Fony

[Flopbox]

Shut User Up

[Freezingduck]

Xbots these days indeed do own themselves

[KiddyBrownTurd]

yes, cuz having a sh1tload of money is a bad thing.

if you're lucky, M$ will let sony exist another couple of years.

[The Milkman]

If that was true Xbox Pure just sounds dull to me honestly. Something more catchy would be better. I dont think that would be the name for Microsofts next console.

[TrevorPhillips]

well here are 3 choices, and only 1 can be chosen:
1) 720
2) Pure
3) Xenon

[The Milkman]

all of those suck.

[TrevorPhillips]

well whats ur list then

[Awareness]

I personaly like the name Pure.

[EnforcerOfTheTruth]

Here it is: RROD MASSACRE

[Narutone66]

Xbox XP or Xbox Vista like their OS?

[atomdooze]

Cant wait till this comes out im sic of this gen. already time for something better. I doubt sony will be able to keep up with the councle rotation. Now some will say its too soon but I know xbox fans and we will buy it. If the new box follows the trend of its predecessor It will do 2x better than the last plus its gonna be far superior to the ps3. There will be no argument about that. And do you think sony will pony up the dough for ps4 when they didn't make much money on 3. Probably but the sony fans will suffer watching xbox fans playing next gen games. And dont say you wont. If sony came out with ps4 tomorrow I would buy one so fast it would make ur head spin.

[SuperSaiyan4]

Who is this 'Gilz'?? It was Dean Takahashi who showed and told everyone about the new Elite's and 360's with HDMI sockets not this 'Gilz' unless its Dean under a codename??

Also anyone could fake up a document like that and its nonsense but that is not to say there will never be a slimmer 360 I am sure there very well could be but until that time we will just have to wait and see.

[testii]

[MIDNIGHT MASK]

The Xbox Pheonix..........

Just for you fan boys that one, the 360 may have burned to the ground, but this beast will rise from the ashes and show true power mwahahahahahahahahahaha

[gunnar2906]

Pure - sounds absolutely the same as 'mashed popato' in Russian
Tet is why the new name is wrong .. according to the current XBox generation it is better to give it another name... French Fries, for instance
