Why XBox?

I see the XBox came out this week with all the attendant hype and crowds lining up outside stores to grab the limited number that are available before Christmas.

I wonder what the X in XBox stands for. X can mark the spot, but it also can indicate ‘Not acceptable’. Apparently that’s what a few of the purchasers are finding. Their XBox can seize up and some have even had games that ‘melted’. Not to worry, it’s covered by warranty and defective units will be replaced. The big But there is that there are no replacement units available before Christmas. That certainly sounds like an X. Oh, if only it had been called TickBox.

    Yeah and for those not in the know. If you buy the cheaper model, it’s not backward compatible, meaning you can’t play your old XboX games on it.

    Check out Ebay, some xboxes are going for over 10K US$… its insane…
