Well if it's anything like their other products there's sure to be an R2 release at some point. The XBOneR2

Yea, that's proabably true. The R2 model has the following "features":

Internets rules number one:

As soon as you ask people not to call something by its nickname, everyone will call it only by its nickname forever.

I would rather have a sexy console than a staid and prudish one.

OK, lemme ask you guys this, do you call the 360 the "XB360"?

It's no wonder the general public and media thinks of gamers as rude, immature and unsophisticated adult-children.
