I'm not completely positive how true this is, but most of the things GilZ sends my way are true. He was correct about the new price drops, new HDMI models, new Elites, and now a picture sent to us with clearly visible text, in what appears to be either the 360's new name or the next xbox's final name. "XBOXPure" is what looks to be the final choice in this document. Take a look!

This 360 will be better than Motorstorm

[UPDATE: It appears that this rumor story could be CAG throwing their credibility out the window as part of a contest. Kotaku''s decision to run rumors is always based on the credibility of the site and the information contained within it. In the past CAG has proven to be a reliable site, having broken a number of stories through apt reporting. It appears that may no longer be the case.

Only if you're into grabbing your ankles whilst you play.

 

[WickedLaharl]

:lol

 

[Wollan]

Brick or not?

 

[Zombie James]

So it's not going to be called Xbox 360 Pure? Just Xbox Pure? That makes no sense...

Perfect first response :lol

 

[Revelations]

Yeah that "XBOX-Lean" kinda gives it all away...MS has some serious leaks in their house.

 

[Router]

LOL. No, this is not real.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Fake.

/thread.

 

[WickedLaharl]

windup

 

[biggkidd32]

Not happening anytime soon.

 

[Mrbob]

Don't see how this could be possible unless MS offers a brand new line of hdd accessories to work with a slimmer model.

 

[Baron Doggystyle von Woof]

why not just

Xbox 360 Slim
Xbox 360 2.0

 

[ZombieSupaStar]

kotaku got owned lol

 

[SCHUEY F1]

see my post just below the OP

They could just change where the HDD attaches, since it'll be a new motherboard anyways.

Since when has CAG been good at news stories?

They're better at sniffing ass for deals on games, not speculating on the market.

Either way, I would file this under complete speculation.

 

[Brashnir]

It's clearly just a code name. It says "code changing" right at the top.

Don't see how this could be possible unless MS offers a brand new line of hdd accessories to work with a slimmer model.

The HDD could sit on top of a smaller, horizontally-oriented machine, or the top of a shorter vertically-oriented machine.

Or could just move the current HDD groove on the top of the console instead of the side for a top loading slimmer from the front look.

nice

 

[GhaleonEB]

1) There's no way on earth that's a real document.
2) If it were, things like that are not approved in such manner.
3) If it were, it would be so high-level it would require an executive to leak it. Which doesn't happen.

Really sad stuff.

 

[Oni Jazar]

It was a prank on CheapAssGamer to see who could fake out the big gaming blogs.

Maybe it was handed off by Peter Moore as a part of his recent revelations :lol

 

[Revengeance]

holy shit, Kotakowned. Why does Crecente sound like such a self righteous prick in the update? In the last CAGcast, Cheapy was railing against the "news blogs" for taking obviously ridiculous rumors and running them as stories. He's making a point.

 

[InterMoniker]

Lol fuck kotaku. It's the tabloids of gaming news.

[jas0]

Wombat in the latest CAGcast pushed for CAGs to see if they could get fake news up on the big gaming blogs (haha). Since the big gaming blogs like Kotaku are driven by amount of posts, leading to this type of unlikely rumor posting.

The post is from one of the CAG user blogs anyway, so this isn't CAG "throwing their credibility."

 

[CoG]

Fake, because Microsoft internal document do not call the Xbox brand "XBOX".

 

[pswii60]

My internal source at MS has just sent me another:
