This topic is spurred on by the geometry of the 360 logo. For startes, it has been years since i have taken geometry so i may be wrong. anyways, my point is that, when you say 360, that refers to a 2-d plane, but they have a sphere for the logo, so any given side of that sphere will have 360 degrees, but you can't really measure 3 dimensional shapes with degrees. My second point is that,... let's say that they meant a circle and not a sphere, it would be redundant to say XBOX 360 as boxes, if you are referring to them on a 2-d plane, have 360 degrees. While I am glad that they didn't say XBOX 2, their current name is technically either redundant or just doesn't work.

Having said all that what are your opinions if you actually care?

p.s. I still like the name Xbox360, and this is my 5001 post8)

No, it's called the Xbox 360 because Microsoft sell you it, it breaks and then goes back to Microsoft for repairs, and then goes back to you.

Like only said. Its because it originally starts out @ microsoft. That's 0°. You pay for it and you go home. That's a 90° turn. Next, you play it. Now we're at 180°. Then, it breaks down. We're at 270 now. You send it in and wait. 360° right there..

I always hated the word BOX. It's a very boring word, and I kinda wish they would replace the word Xbox with some other shape/idea/concept. I forgot about that since I first bought the original XBOX, but you reminded me TC.
