Xenon my white ass

My brother-in-law tried to convince me over the weekend that the next Xbox console would be called “The Xenon”. Every time he said “Xenon” I almost laughed until I wet myself. I knew what he didn’t, that not only was it to be called the Xbox 360, but that there were both pictures from E3 and press releases to back up my claims. I present these for him, as well as you, in hope that maybe he’ll stop calling it the Xenon now 🙂

I rest my case.

    I still think it’s ugly.

    You’re getting progressively more snarky with the brother-in-law…

    I Like it.

    Oh, and right on Chip…that thing’s just about as ugly as the first one.

    Snarky? Lol. He’s a good guy. We get a long great. I was just harrassing him a little 🙂

    At least this one is smaller. The first one is bigger than my DVD player and taller than my VCR and DVD player combined.
