There used to be a prank site where you could create your own CNN articles and they looked identicle to the real ones. It had an address similar to the one you're sharing. Unless you can show me the page on xbox.com where you found this, I'll have to delcare this thread:

Closing Comments: Prankster did not offer enough evidence to make me believe it as being true. Addresses posted did not look legitimate and are similar in appearance to another site which mirrored an official site for the purpose of pranking.

First of all, I guess you know nothing about the internet. The Address is an IP address, usually assigned to a website before the domain has been pointed to the DNS. I went to images.google.com and typed in Xbox Next-Generation and found this image, click into it and the URL was from Xbox.com/whatever/whatever
Go look it up yourself. Explain to me why an address created for pranks would redirect to Xbox.com in the first place?
As for address looking legitimate??? BAHAHAHAHA...... wow....I've been creating/managing/designing websites for over 8 years now, and if you have done so much as create a website, you know IP addresses come before you transfer a domain to the site. So I dunno how that address doesn't look legitimate..... all my past websites needed an ip address before the domain transferred.
And I know I've pulled pranks in the past, but that doesn't mean everything I will deliver to this forum is a prank. I truthfully did some investigating and found this image.

I am on page 7 of the search results using 'Xbox Next-Generation' and have not found it yet. Please assist my royal eyes.

to make people ask that very question? lol :p
If this is legit you may be the first person on the internet to discover Xbox 2's official name.

Look at the picture closer, I think the symetry is off, to me that makes it look fake.

I wasn't saying it was from the same site. I was just saying they used the same IP address URL format. The reason for redirecting to Xbox would be to make people think it was real. Microsoft would never use an address like that anyways. There's no need for me to argue further, my royal community has chosen their royal winner.
My decree of your thread as false remains as chosen by the people! Everyone lavish me with +rep and doubloons!

Fake or not, Xbox Nexus us probably the best name I've heard so far. Damn sure better than Xbox Next or the gawd awful Xbox 360.

Actually, it's working just fine. You're just about the only one who doesn't seem to get it.
Not like that's surprising or anything...
I'm tempted to lock this for your sake, just to save you some of the embarrassment that you don't even realize you're receiving, but I'll see if you can just sit down and save yourself.

GameMaster..........I was cool with you until you chose to tamper with my work. No one touches my signatures, avatars, or designs and undermines it's original quality. I don't even know what to say anymore.
I can at least say one thing, you finally have a hint of Sony in your signature.... and I really doubt that the Revolution can beat an Alien, let alone the PS3.
Stonecutter: I seem to be the only person that doesn't get GM's facade? I don't need to get his facade. I am annoyed by the way he talks, and the way he carries himself. Whose the bigger man in this dispute? The one who talks like a 15th Century Noble, and takes other people's work and destroys it out of spite?
I made one comment directed at GM and only needed a rebuttle from GM. You need not involve yourself in individual conflicts, Pebblecutter.
I have been in many debates in my time here in GT, none as meaningless as this. I can honestly say that the realest people I met here in GT, the people who I actually respect are below:
Happydude, Germanator, Null, Vampyr, Canyarion, Jonbo298, Dark Samurai, Happydudette, Stray Bullet, Blackmane, Neo, Dyne, Ulala, Dylflon...
to name a few....The points the above people make are meaningful and worthwhile to debate on. All I get from GM are tasteless taunts, and smart a$$ comments about my threads. Now he's gone and ruined a work of mine...close this thread if you want....

You missed the part where I said "... to name a few"
There are a lot of people I respect on this forum, just the names that got named are the names that stand out. I respect you, Crashette, Splash, Solid Snake (especially him cuz he owns a Prelude) and Camfu.

Yeah.... how to explain this..... :unsure: You don't know what we've been through with GameMaster. First he was a guy, then a girl, then a gay, then we lost track. Now he's just... GameMaster.

Don't forget the time when he was trying to be everyone else and took their sigs and avatars and mimicked people.
Those were confusing times. Always having to double check the name on people.
