How did it change from dopey to OXM in the first place?


Just leave it alone and let your xbox have it's name given

I read somewhere that you could change the name unless I' didn't read it right.

My friend's xbox had a dorky name and he was proud of it

I can't remember the name right now but it's funny.

My (MS-named) Deathbringers is laughing hysterically [some might say, 'maniacally'] at your Dopey.

Yeah, in Dead or alive 3 if you get 1st place in the single survival mode, it'll ask you to enter a name -- thats what your XBox will be named

It's a good game, but really, if you just want to change your XBox name....

Isn't Halo like the only game where you can see the NAME of your XBOX?

I don't even know the name of both of my XBOX's

Is there a cheat to do this? I'm not a fighting game type person and can't stand the thought of playing through it.

You can also change it with Cel Damage. Whatever you name your save file will become the name of the XBox.

well you just sit it down and have a nice long talk with it. just like picking up a girl at a bar, oh it talks so much crap too, but after awhile it'll tell you its name how sweet.

um right, anyhow put halo 1 in and do multiplayer. the name at the top under the picture of the xbox is what it is named.
