Xbox360 Design and Name

Justin Buser · 14-07-2005, 07:01 AM

Some people have bagged both the design and name of the Xbox360

1. I think the design is great - especially that they got away from the black colour, but retained the green elements. White is much better looking.

2. Xbox360 is much better than Xbox2 or XboxNext etc. All it took was time for people to get used to the names, and no one remembers the old name anymore. Plus they are now on a level playing field with Sony, ie PS3 vs Xbox360

1. i love the new design; the concave sides really give it dimension and sleekness, plus i love the new "chill" color. not quite white, not really anything, just chill....

2. xbox360 as a name also is a symbol. the 360 is going to have a simultaneous release 360 degrees around the globe.

you'll be able to chat with people 360 degrees around the globe!

the 360 isn't just a name, it's the plan of attack! ps3 is just a generic name, but xbox360 has meaning!

actually have you all seen teh mockup of a black xbox360 THE DAMN THING IS SEXY AS HELL. i would rather have MS let you choose between black and that off-white. and second the name its coo kinda generic when you actually know wat it represents. being able to acess media all around your entertainment center and your pc.

I seen that also - the option to choose between the off-white and black would be good, maybe even a brushed-aluminium (like DVD players etc have) would also be good!

The name is nice, its not just another generic name. As far as black or white, I would defenitely get a white one, I think it already looks great. And I think you are going to be able to change the front faceplate, which is nce.

Mr.Combine · 17-07-2005, 12:05 AM

Yeah they made a nice choice of names. Sony usually names all of their gaming crap in a generic name.

I wanted the name Nexbox... maybe not. I would prefer a brushed aluminum look rather than off-white, but spray paint doesn't cost too much so I'll get my wish. I have no problem with the default black color, I kinda wish it was an option though.

Design, hmm. Seriously, the prototype for Nintendo was the best out of the three presented, and PS3 was definitely in LAST place for design concept, on so many levels [looks, size, font, that thing they call a controller which vibrates and is turning heads in the "adult" industry]. Xbox 360 is nice, but not as sleek as Nintendo. If it were possible, and my opinion were king, we'd get the xbox 360 controller with a fused Revolution + Xbox 360 look, with 3 standard colors (off-white, brushed aluminum, and jet black) and interchangable face plates. By fused design, I mean less conclaved, but same relative size.

I like the design just not the front its to... 90's but every were else looks good. When I first heard the name Xbox 360 I thought it might be round or something I just hated the name and almost joined the PS3 ban wagon but I eventually grew into the name and don't mind it. Though I'd still prefer Xenon or Xbox Evolution

i think xbox "360" is perfect.did they call it that cuz its a whole turn-around (360) fr the new consoles?

MH_prophet · 22-07-2005, 02:50 PM

I don't remember who said it, but someone said it is because it is launching at the same time "360 degrees" around the world since it is launching everywhere at the same time.

bennyboo03 · 22-07-2005, 03:00 PM

ahhh thats an odd way to put it... but ok. the truth is the truth

korphaeron · 22-07-2005, 03:06 PM

Good design, looks very sleek and stylish, much needed after the Xbox's fugly appearance (also helps break the Japanese market).
The name i'm not so bothered about, I think Xenon was nice, but Xbox 360 has grew on me I suppose.

Ayo Is Matt Iz Tha Xbox360 Gonna Have An Mp3 Port Where You Can Link Up Ur Muzik

MH_prophet · 28-07-2005, 01:37 PM

Yup, it has three USB ports.

Mr.Combine · 28-07-2005, 10:56 PM

Just so you know the REAL REASON why its called Xbox 360 is because it covers all the degrees of entertainmant i.e. Music, Games, Movies, Online, Chat etc etc.

Easedrop91 · 29-07-2005, 10:07 PM

I think the 360 is hot, but it would be sexy if they made a black faceplate!
