Just for the humor of it, no one should start a flame war here, and I don't want half of the icons here be lockdown icons.

Oh wait, come to think of it, it's possible. The X button is in the bottom, the square is in the left, the circle is in the right. X then a box, not a square since it will be easily be recognized by Sony fans. Then 360 because of the circle, they didn't choose 180 since it doesn't sound that good.

Hmm, I think the number after "XBox" is proportional to the heat the unit produces. Remembered a story from a friend:

A guy placed a PS3 and XBox 360 in a small closet and turned them on, after a while, the XBox 360 melted.

It's called the Xbox 360 because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away.

Once you see the price, your head spins 360 degrees.

Then you back away slowly, so that no one gets hurt.

seriously, all these kids are like "oh got you!" even though they can see that a bunch of people have already posted

from enxyclopedia dramatica:

"Why do they call it the Xbox 360?

Because when you see it, you'll turn 360 degrees and walk away.


—Oh, snap! 0wn3d!

There are two sides to the debate surrounding this theory, based on the individual's reaction to the above hypothesis. Party one, composed of retards and trolls, believes this to be both a reasonable assumption and a great insult to 360 fanboys. The other party contests that turning 360 degrees would leave you still facing the console, and that the correct rotation is actually 180 degrees [2]. This side of the argument is composed of intelligent individuals and those too stupid to realize they've been trolled.

This unassailable argument has become something of a meme on the internet (and a very annoying one at that), most notably on 4chan, the home of irritating, retarded memes. It started on 4chan's videogame board, but soon spread like a California wildfire to other boards. Experts are still unable to determine if the original post was made by a fucking moron or a clever troll. All that is known is that people continue to post this message in hopes of stirring up drama, even months after the meme has gone out of style. "

now you just have to question if it was done on purpose
