Nice to see that I've been beaten to the Canyonero jokes.

 

[bigtroyjon]

My mom had a durango. It's fucking huge. She is 5' and like had major compensation issues. It was so big she couldn't really drive it. Smashed it into things.

A Durango is huge? Is that the only SUV you've ever seen?

There you have it folks.

 

[jts]

means something in some language

rhymes with something

yeah

Anagram for "Ur gonad"

Coincidence?? You decide...

 

[TerryWogan]

Town in Brazil, a Mexican state... Oh look, a pattern!

 

[Orayn]

Should have been CANYONERO.

 

[specialguy]

Isn't "public code name" an oxymoron?

 

[plainr_]

Reminds me of my uncle's POS SUV.

 

[D4Danger]

Isn't "public code name" an oxymoron?

but people love code names. the stupider the better.

see: Ice Cream Sandwich

 

[Takao]

Sounds big, burly and American just like an... SUV?

 

[The Technomancer]

Is Nintendo the only company that can do code names that don't sound weird?

EDIT: I guess NGP wasn't too bad

Seriously. They're pretty awesome--Project Reality, Dolphin, Revolution. What was the WiiU's codename?

 

[i-Lo]

?

I was thinking in this:

I take it that Durango is being designed by Dodge and financed by the Drug cartel.

Cafe, which at least was like...a noun.

Durango = Old brazilian slang, means you´re out of money

It comes from "duro", which means "hard", which was used in the 60´s and 70´s as a slang for being without any money.

Duro, durango

(SO old i had to check on google if it wasnt something i made up in my head when i was a kid. Nope, it isnt, people really used to say "Durango" when they were out of money)

Kind of makes it sounds like a hobo with a boner XD

On a more serious note, I wish the tech info was a bit less elusive as well.

 

[Elginer]

Now can we get some more solid specs? That would be super.

 

[entremet]

Cafe, which at least was like...a noun.

Oh yeah. That's right. Funny how codenames get forgotten so easily once the final product names are reveal. I totally forget NGP.

 

[To Far Away Times]

Duh-no-go.

Yeah, I got nothing.

 

[My Sedatives]

More like DurangNO.... get it... get it?

 

[subversus]

Well, it seems that the people who arrived to Bellevue yesterday have already started leaking. Or may be it's not them, lol

So if you buy the NextBox, you'll be out of money. I see.

 

[Hiltz]

Maybe Microsoft's code name for Xbox 3 means that it doesn't want to sell it at a loss.

I noticed that the back of my sister's box of Kotex tampons on the bathroom shelf cabinet has the same color scheme as Kinect's. Microsoft may have thought about calling it Project Kotex!

 

[DenogginizerOS]

At first glance I saw that as "Dingo" as in "A dingo ate my baby!!"

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

If MS had a sense of humor, they would had called it CANYONERO. damn them, haha.

 

[FStop7]

Durango...

I envision J Allard wearing a hoodie, blazer, and leather chaps.

And nothing else.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

 

[GodfatherX]

No loop?

codename can't be the final name

 

[grindamasta]

 

[Medalion]

No, that's the new name for the Wii-U

 

[NameGenerated]

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

I was thinking in this:

smart man.

Microsoft likes using geographical code names.

 

[Demoncarnotaur]

With all these rumors, I really hope this thing has a showing at e3.

You'll run out of money after buying one at launch!

Bazinga!

 

[Cheesemeister]

It made me think of Durango, Colorado.

 

[Slayer-33]

This codename really makes me wonder what the console name will be.

 

[Valnen]

A code name that actually sucks.

I prefer it when the code name is terrible. That way you don't be like Nintendo and disappoint everyone with the real name.

 

[Maximilian E.]

"The Durango-95 purred away real horrorshow - a nice, warm, vibraty feeling all through your guttiwuts"

 

[Feep]

FINALLY someone posted it

 

[Balphon]

Now I have that theme song stuck in my head.

You jerk.

 

[disco]

So does this mean the console will be large, powerful and will easily topple over and crash into your Wii U?

 

[PogiJones]

I think this is the most appropriate thread for this:

My wife and I were watching Real Steel last night, and she noticed that in the background of one of the arenas was an "Xbox 720" advertisement. Thought it was kinda funny.

Has this been posted about already? It's weird because there's no way they'd have the real name in there, but product placement costs MS money, so... maybe they were just advertising the Xbox brand?

 

[EmCeeGramr]

thank God someone has some taste around here

 

[graywolf323]

see: Ice Cream Sandwich

I don't think you quite understand this...

Ice Cream Sandwich is the actual name of Android OS 4.0

and it's a consistent theme Google has used (Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread, Honeycomb)

 

[boiled goose]

It is a new type of hybrid fruit...?
