Origen Xbox 360 - Page 4

Citruso · 21-08-2005, 07:27 PM

I don't even think the question, "Will the winners of the Every 10 Minutes contest get the Xbox 360's early?" should have been asked. I mean it is obvious, the winners will get their prizes when the Xbox 360's are released.

I would really like to stay away from the Every 10 Minutes contest in this thread. Please.

im just throwing this out there but the bonsai tree might be a family tree showing how something related to the xbox originated hence the name origen even though not spelled the same

I found this on an other forum

Piñata is going to be a game that you get free on the XBOX 2 hard drive. You put seeds in a virtual garden and water them and watch them grow. The more games you buy the bigger your garden gets. Nice idea I think it was SHIGERU MIYAMOTO who came up with the idea for the game cube but didn't bother to implement it as he thought it would be a waste of time.

maybe this it?

You know that just made me think back through all the announcements made about the Xbox 360, and I do think that may be it! Because that wasn't the first time I heard about it, I cannot recal a specific date or article. For me it fits, it's big (free game), fits into the customization era, and the high-def tree and other garden will look life like on HD tvs. Most likely not.

No matter what we think the answer is we do not know what the question is.

The text on vojir.com is not going to lead anywhere. The website is set up to randomly generate words that look like they are Czech, but do not actually mean anything. It has been around for a very long time, definitely before this riddle. I can provide more info on this if you would like me to.

According to the ever useful wayback machine, the image of the mysterious paragraph has been in existence since at least 2003. Check for yourself here if you'd like:

On an unrelated note, this X02 brouchure made me laugh:

The two headlining games were, prepare yourself for a little deja vu, Perfect Dark 2 and Kameo: Elements of Power. =)

. On that exact page, they annouced Splinter Cell: Stealth Action Redefined. Splinter Cell 3 came out 5 months ago! That is priceless. They also announced Unreal Championship 1 and Blinx 1. Sequels for both those games have already come out, and as I said, 2 sequels for Splinter Cell have already come out. That's pretty funny.

You do know that the X02 means Xbox 2002, right? At least that's what I think the X part means.

"When you didn't capture the attention of someone in the past, next time in the future, do it bigger and smarter, then they will put attention on what you are trying to offer" J.A "People rising up while the sun is still shinning*, on 9 something big is going the happen and you will be surprised"

Let me go though this a few words at a time and try to discover some possibilities.

"When you didn't capture the attention of someone in the past" - Something negative about the past, maybe when you purchased your PS2 and didn't get any attention (I doubt they'll be dissing the original XBOX)

"next time in the future" - when xbox 360 is released

"do it bigger and smarter" - a bigger xbox360? I doubt it, but maybe a bigger optical drive, smarter than Blu-Ray (i.e. HD-DVD). Or just refering to the xbox360.

"then they will put attention on what you are trying to offer" - Sony will put attention on Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD. Not sure why he uses the word 'you'.

"People rising up while the sun is still shinning" - Japan, land of the rising sun. People bying xbox260's while ps3 is still waiting to be released...

" on 9 something big is going the happen and you will be surprised" - Something BIG in september, probably refering to HD-DVD (maybe an announcement of HD-DVD). I won't be surprised if they announce Halo 3 or show some movies (because they've already announced that). But I wouldn't have seen HD-DVD coming this early. And who won't be surprised?

*Shining has been spelt wrong, however, when spelt like this 'shinning' it means,

1. To climb something by shinning it.
2. To move quickly on foot.

OR, it might just be a typo!

I think that what it trying to be said here is:

Quote:

"When you didn't capture the attention of someone in the past"

When the original Xbox was released alot of people already had their PS2's and were not bothered about the Xbox.

Quote:

"next time in the future, do it bigger and smarter"

Now that Microsoft has learned from this they are now trying to put the 360 Console in our faces as much as possible and will probably announce something big in September.

Quote:

"then they will put attention on what you are trying to offer"

This announcement will probably be very big and will make those people who would normally purchase the other consoles, and the rest of us, talk about the 360 and create a real hype.

That's what I think it all means

bigmanslim · 22-08-2005, 01:23 PM

mayby since u said shinning meens climbing its reffering to people getting up early while the sun is still rising to buy theyr xbox 360's

JAMESB22 · 22-08-2005, 03:37 PM

So I belive I have a pretty good guess at what this web site is all about.
After some two hours of googleoogleling I discovered Official Xbox 360 Magazine Is set to launch late september. This must be it, my only other guess is this is a countdown.... to the launch countdown. Until then ....

Good discovery.

But doesn't that seem kind of underwhelming? I mean, why have a cryptic site with a countdown you can barely see just for the magazine?

JAMESB22 · 22-08-2005, 03:53 PM

Well your right I'm just guessing, but everything I've heard has been rumors and lies on a Grand scale, so something like this makes more sense to me. Microsoft likes to keep us guessing, it's like free advertising. I really don't think they have anymore spectaculor announcements, so why not gas up the little ones?

Perhaps it's not an announcement? Maybe it is the date when the first kiosks go into retail stores around the world? It seems more like it would be an event rather than an announcement.

Or maybe it's both?

But if you hit forward on that site the bunny just disappears and you are left with "OrigenXBox360.com". So who knows, your guess is as good as mine.

JAMESB22 · 22-08-2005, 04:16 PM

That would be sweet, But was their an XBOX kiosk before the release? I got my XBOX on launch day, with no Kiosk's in site. Well if that is so, it would meen lines out the *** at every Kiosk for over a month. Really though, it's probaly just another clever marketing strategy from the team that gets their check signed by the richest man in the world. And it's accomplishing the mission, we can't stop thinking.... XBOX 360....

ace2cloud · 22-08-2005, 04:17 PM

Actually it's been pretty much confirmed that there are going to be XBox 360 kiosks distributed to retailers across the country (some with HDTV's).

That's my best guess.

JAMESB22 · 22-08-2005, 04:23 PM

Oh I heard that, i have seen the whole set up pixs on that spanish web site with the qwerty keyboard thing. They even say you can bring the memory card into your game shop, plug it in and save exclusive content. Sounds like they hooked me into buying that $40 memory card.

Yeah at least the people who buy the core version and need to buy the memory card don't get completely screwed.

JAMESB22 · 22-08-2005, 04:28 PM

I'm Getting the 360 $400 pack. plus 2 games and 2nd controller... when all is said and done I hope not to spend over $600
