The xbox 360 site (http://www.xbox360.com/) was just launched. Has pictures of box and peripherals that can be zoomed and rotated.

That website sucks. Whats the point of being able to move the box around by dragging it???? *nerd voice* Oooooo loook I can view the same exact same image on the left side of my monitor. Ooooo drool this is soo cool!

[Mano]

First off, I didn't design the web site, just reporting that it's there. I agree that it's not spectacular. But, there are additional images if you click on the twisty arrows.

It was like watching a TRL show. That was painful to watch. Thank you Tivo fast-forward. It had only a good 4 min of good video about the new system.

It looks so weird standing vertical on the show. http://img.terra.com.br/i/2005/04/25/223781-5241-cp.jpg

I just want to say how much i hate the name. I'm still buying one at launch, but [censored], what a lame ass buzzword style name.

[ceyoung]

I wasn't making fun of you. You did nothing wrong. I was making fun of Microsoft and their multimillion dollar ad campaign. Seriously, with all the money you spend you think they could come up with something better. Hell I can write a Java applet that can do better. And I am not a computer scientist!

Do you understand?

[Mano]

That's cool, I agree Microsoft's marketing has been atrocious. I used to work for them making first party xbox titles, and was always very disappointed in the ads. And their tagline "It's good to play together" just sucks.

Yes because obviously the xbox competing against the xbox couldn't compete against the PS2.

[ceyoung]

i dont get it? it really was a branding issue when they came up with the name. and i dont think you can start a franchise with a second edition, if you're implying they should have started with xbox2.

Obviously it's a branding issue; that doesn't stop their choice from sucking. People have started franchises with second editions before, it just sounds dumb. Xbox 360 dumb. Competing version numbers is why AOL and MSN are both at version 10.0 etc, because no one wants to seem 'lower'. The thing is, with xbox 2 vs ps3, basically everyone interested in either device knows which revision number they are on. No one is going to think 'oh, that's just xbox 2, this ps3 is newer'. If they simply couldn't go with Xbox2, they shouldn't have gone with 360.

Especially when i played 720 on the NES 15 years ago and when there are other products in the technology marketplace that use 360, like the semi-recently announced Yahoo 360. (http://360.yahoo.com/)

I think it would be hilarious if they just called it "Xbox 4."
What a bunch of deuchebags.

[Chiron]

LOL

xbox4... brilliant.

There some trailers at gamespot.com but you cant tell if they are ingame or not. Cut scenes cant really tell much from.
