PSA: Please stop calling Xbox One 'Xbone'

[VulgarDisplay]

I've been calling it the Xbox done.

 

[SagaLore]

Should be called Xbox180.

 

[SunnyD]

Should be called Xbox180.

I kinda like that. :thumbsup:

 

[Sonikku]

Why isn't it just typed as XB1?

Because that's what we call the original Xbox now.

 

[akahoovy]

I can dig it. Seconded.

 

[Red Storm]

That's dumb. I always called them XB & 360. XB1 or X1 work just fine.

 

[WT]

Soooo, is it XB One that bothers you or Xbone ?? I'm unclear on the pronunciation.

 

[KeithTalent]

No way, I love the bone! Would Xboner be better?

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":

Priced at only $1k - you can rent games! (but only for 2 hours).

Should be called Xbox180.

Why? Because when you walk in the room you feel like playing 180 games on it???

 

[Bateluer]

Xbone is its official abbreviation, as decided by the community.

 

[colonelciller]

it is fair to say that your privacy has been Xboned as soon as you bring an Xbone into your house.

name stays

Name is also very crass. Very direct and crude. Worse than 'fuck'.

 

[AstroManLuca]

Why do they call it the Xbox One?

Because you take one look at it and walk away.

 

[techs]

Well, that's its name, XBone. If Microsoft wanted to call it something else then they should have thought of that before they named it XBone.

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 thought the first rule of the internet was that it never forgets. Anyway, IMHO, the nickname is giving the product a bad name. It's too sexually suggestive.

 

[Sonikku]

They should have just called it the XXX Box. Third X box. Three X's. Simple.

 

[techs]

Ex Box?

 

[BudAshes]

I just read that the xbone is 500 bucks. They should really pay me 500 bucks if microsoft wants to Xbone me that bad.

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

 

[Raduque]

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.
