Reminds me of the Jeffersons. Somewhere there has to be a "George" and "Florence".

You will then end up on a screen that waits for the second player to join. There should be a small picture of the XBOX along with a name printed immediately above it.

When you get this to work, tell us what name was listed. I am willing to bet it is a 5-letter word.

I am "The Big L". That L better not stand for Loser!! :grunt:

LOL! :)

Well, so much for that "5-letter" theory.
The harddrive name should come up in other games as well.

Mine is 'Darling'.

edstein 12-09-01 11:38 AM

My box is "Disco". Pretty cool I think. Better than "The Big L".

mrglass 12-09-01 12:01 PM

Mine is "Sneak"

What do you think the harddrive names are for?

Personally, I think the names are going to come into play once the XBOX online network is up and running. It might be used to identify players, group players into teams, etc. I can't wait. :)

So that cartman doesn't feel so bad, I think we should come up with some cool words that start with "L".

How about: "The Big Lovemuscle" :)

I'm "hambone" which wouldn't be too bad except I live in ISRAEL... :lol:

Are you sure that the XBOX name's are unique to the system and does not rely on any info or saved game data?

Because if it is just random luck as to what the box's name is, mine is just too weird.. .. On the Halo multiplayer wait screen, the name Chris is written above my Xbox. Funny thing is, that's my name. My name was also listed as player 1. For a split second when that screen shows up, there is a question mark (?) right above the XBOX logo that immediately changes to "CHRIS" in all caps. My name under player profile #1 is "Chris" not in all caps. Weird. Is there another way I can test this?

Pirate for me. Should have been grumpy. :)

The L where I'm from is saying that you're gonna hand it to someone. Therefore, I would think that "The Big L" is telling someone that they're about to take the big loss. Pretty cool if you ask me.

I never said that these names were uniques to each system. As a matter of fact, if you read my earlier posts in this thread, you'll see that my XBOX name 'SNAKE' is not unique.

I think it's just coincidence that it has your actual name listed. I think that's pretty cool. But you're right. A split second before the name is listed you see a '?' immediately replaced by the mystery name.

I might have one of the more mundane names here. Mine is "Walla Walla." I mean did they just run out of english words?

I would LOVE for my Xbox to be named after my favorite movie of all time:

THE BIG LEBOWSKI!!

Seriously, My friends and I can't get enough of that movie. We laugh the whole way through it. Best characters ever!!

My Xbox shipped yesterday from Amazon (Had $390 built up in GC's). Can't wait.

I hope I get "THE BIG L" Xbox.

Nothing wrong with Walla Walla. It's a city in Eastern Washington, renowned for its onions.

Tuan Jim 12-12-01 10:29 PM

I'm not exactly sure why, but my Xbox's name is exactly the same as my real name. And my name is pretty unique. I'm not sure if it's because the high score is currently held by my named profile or what.
