lailoken Posted September 3, 2005 ... as more information about the great new Microsoft Console soon to hit a shelf near the unsuspecting public, is revealed by www.gamesindustry.biz. Amongst other great ideas, the renaming of pages strikes me as pure genius. After all, a page is SOOO boring and NOT EXTREME! • The pages of the Xbox 360 user interface are called "blades".[/Quote][the rest] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twmac Posted September 3, 2005 The more I hear about the 360, the more it depresses me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tabacco Posted September 3, 2005 Heh... that's actually not new. They were calling them Blades at the E3 demo I went to. I just didn't nother to mention it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
n0wak Posted September 3, 2005 Transferring your Xbox Live account to Xbox 360 will be part of the initial set-up procedure when you first plug in your console, and existing users have "Gold" membership. That's actually good to know. I was wondering how the hell they were migrating accounts. Kind of annoyed that the cost of Live is part of the console, though, which means that you essentially pay for it twice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
netmonkey Posted September 3, 2005 I wish I had J Allard's e-mail so I could tell him: YOUR MOM is a blade. Ohhhhhhh... snap! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spaff Posted September 3, 2005 HAHAHAHAHA oh man, 'blades' (laser... blazer.....) its actually hilarious how extreme everything is, 360!!!!! WTF like it will sell more because its extreme. but when it comes down to it, i expect we will own one at some point in our house, its a fucking games console, maybe games will be on it that arent extreme. ¬¬ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Salka Posted September 3, 2005 It doesn't look that extreme. It looks more like a tumble dryer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Twilo Posted September 3, 2005 I wish I had J Allard's e-mail so I could tell him: Apparently his Live Gamertag is "HiroProtaganist" or some variant thereof. Get Xbox360 Live-messaging or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SoccerDude28 Posted September 4, 2005 I think the 360 lacks a very important feature in extremity. A picture of Chris Remo showing his Vans when you first turn it on will make this the most extreme console you will ever buy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Savage Cabbage Posted September 4, 2005 I think the 360 lacks a very important feature in extremity. A picture of Chris Remo showing his Vans when you first turn it on will make this the most extreme console you will ever buy. It does have a picture of Remo but it is only available on the Premium version. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lechimp Posted September 4, 2005 Would it be a user's profile page? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marek Posted September 4, 2005 No it's just a page in the interface. Like, a tab. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted September 4, 2005 Ummm... aren't consoles always switched on wirelessly? I'm pretty sure the button on my gamecube doesn't require that I plug something into it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intrepid Homoludens Posted September 4, 2005 I think the 360 lacks a very important feature in extremity. A picture of Chris Remo showing his Vans when you first turn it on will make this the most extreme console you will ever buy. Um, no. I'm still suffering from PTSD from the very first time I saw that pic of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lailoken Posted September 5, 2005 maybe buttons are bullets? I bet on the 1080 the "blades" will be called "razors" and "bullets" will become "nukes"!!! EXTREME!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Flibble Posted September 5, 2005 Fo' shizzle! The 360 is just the sort of rad, happening console that every 12 year old needs to complete his overwise X-Treme life style. (Which consists largely of skateboarding and drinking juice. RAD.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
