Were you expecting to see a big O on top of the "x"box? You my friend have a very strange view of the way corporations using marketing. MS did not exploit any X-named phenomenon, I can't think of a more proper name MS could have used with respects to the the console using "DirectX" technology.
Oh so there is a problem with the 360 too? I just don't believe MS exploited that on the xbox... it made sense to me.

so what is the origin of the "360".... or is that just to sound "cool" too.
I'm not trying to bash on you though. I actually agree with you in that I dislike when companies play on peoples stupidity with catchy marketing names and phrases on shitty gimmick products. Or like the radio ads I keep hearing about "super new episodes" of some dumbass tv show. But the way I see it, if they're stupid enough to fall for it, they deserve it.
