You're listening to 98.7FM, The Xbone

 

[plainr_]

Xbone will pass similar to how shit like "hella" passed. People will eventually realize or simply follow suit over time like the rest of the shambling masses.

XBO.

Please no. XBO makes me think - extra body odor.

 

[Acquiescence]

It's times like this I gotta throw a Call of Duty dog an Xbone.

 

[Jobbs]

xbone is a done deal. you can't reverse it. the most powerful people and corporations on earth couldn't reverse it. it's impossible.

 

[BGBW]

Kiss Hug

 

[Neiteio]

I agree. Xbone is a dumb word and should be used sparingly, if at all.

Don't be such an Xbonehead.

 

[Luthos]

X1

Ex One

 

[alr1ght]

It says right here not to make new names with X, call it Xbox, call it "one", etc.

they didn't leave us much choice

 

[Impeccable]

Microsoft really Britta'd this whole thing.

 

[Jawmuncher]

XBO will be the clear winner since its quick and to the point.

PS4, XBO, WiiU

 

[Sorc3r3r]

As italian i cant get the joke if there is one.
Care to explain?

 

[Struct09]

I like Xbone and hope it sticks

 

[fluffydelusions]

Can someone shop the xbone logo in the back? lol

 

[Impeccable]

XBO will be the clear winner since its quick and to the point.

PS4, XBO, WiiU

Not allowed to capitalize the "B" as per Microsoft. XbO.

 

[xk0sm0sx]

I think Xbone is a pretty good name for a console, better than Wii U or Xbox One

 

[KingSnake]

"I'm going to go play THE ONE"

Be careful, Kinect is watching you playing with your ONE.

 

[farisr]

I just call it X1 or Xbox.

 

[def sim]

Care to explain?

it's just a satisfying word to say and the nickname can be seen as a positive or a negative towards the console

 

[Hoya Destroyer]

Since us xbox fans have all been given the bone, I think xbone is a fitting name.

 

[Durante]

XBO will be the clear winner since its quick and to the point.

I prefer XB1 since it tersely illustrates the boneheadedness of the name.

 

[Tourmeta]

I find it annoying to read it as 'X bone' all the time, but I guess it had to come naturally with the name.

I like XBO/X1 the most.

bone = slang for the male penis

 

[Terra]

I go with xbone all the way.

Bone/boner is slang for an erection, can also be used as an insult similar to douche

 

[Jay Sosa]

Just embrace it like the rest of us

Xbone for lyfe

Don't be such an Xbonehead.

well played.

And Xbo sounds much, much worse.

 

[Haunted]

Not allowed to capitalize the "B" as per Microsoft. XbO.

haha

I think X1, XB1 or XBO will eventually settle down as the de facto moniker.

Xbone is too much of a ribbing (though understandable how it's popular now after that shit showing) portmanteau like Nintard or Xbot to have any staying power in serious discussion.

 

[Sorc3r3r]

I see.
Thanks.

Ahhh.
lol

 

[Diman]

It's funny that Microsoft didn't see it coming that Xbox One would become Xbone.

 

[coldfoot]

I prefer XB1 since it tersely illustrates the boneheadedness of the name.

But wouldn't that be confused with the original Xbox?

 

[PhatSaqs]

Are you really going to go to gamestop and ask for a game for "Xbone"? lmfao

 

[BadWolf]

I prefer X1.

 

[Mr.Squirrel]

Xbone or Xbox None, your choice breh.

 

[wetflame]

Xbone. All the way to not buying it when it's released.

 

[ReaperXL7]

yeah......stickng with Xbone. Xbone is best.

 

[Goldmund]

I'm afraid people will get tired of the joke eventually and just call it the XB1 or simply XBOX.

 

[jaypah]

I just think the word bone in relation to a console is stupid. It sounds about as related to games as Xshirt or Xfoot. I understand that the spelling ties in well though and I certainly don't care what other people call a console so Xbone is fine with me. I'll use X1 because I'm lazy. I dont put a space in WiiU either for the same reason. Verbaly I'll just call it Xbox because anyone I'm talking to will know I mean the current Xbox. Win/win for everybody!

Also, didn't really think about the dick connotations so I can't imagine why somebody would be offended at Xbone.

 

[yurinka]

X1, XBO, or XB1.

I don't like Xbone because it's too long, and reminds me a boner (and now doesn't look appealing) or a corpe (bone).

 

[Midou]

I don't mean Xbone as 'gaystation' or as any negative connotation, it does sound funny but I've already warmed up to the idea of using it.

I'm afraid people will get tired of the joke eventually and just call it the XB1 or simply XBOX.

That is logical. It's only a problem during this transition between generations. Eventually people won't care about a specific name.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

I call it...

The One.

 

[FrontalMonk]

I think XBO will be the chosen moniker, but Xbone is too fun not to use. I definitely threw the Xbone Dog picture up there on my facebook wall for the lulz.

 

[UrbanRats]

Bone: Osso ma anche uno slang per erezione.

Chiamalo solo "Icsbocsone", vista la misura.

 

[60_gig_PS3]

"Microsoft goes hard with the Xbone"

 

[Ushae]

Why? It's funny

Really? My son may find that funny..

I use XBO, kind of like HBO and easy to say .. rolls off the tongue.

 

[CitizenCope]

It should be XBone. They gave it a stupid name so I'm comfortable calling it XBone especially if they boned me, a guy that has been all about xbox the last dozen years.

 

[TrounceX]

My brain automatically makes me think "cross bone". It's stupid I know but I can't help it.

Can't we just call it "Xone"?

I agree we should stay away from numbers for ease of typing though.

 

[RionaaM]

What's the problem? It's just a name.

Don't blame us, blame the brilliant minds that came up with the console name in the first place.

 

[def sim]

Are you really going to go to gamestop and ask for a game for "Xbone"? lmfao

why would i do that

 

[Nealand Liquor]

This is actually a problem?
Lol, fuck really?

 

[Haunted]

No? I've never seen anyone in my entire life use XB1 to refer to the original Xbox, on GAF or otherwise.

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Xbone fanboys = Xboners?
