Well still technically rumor, but it wouldn't surprise me.

I can't choose.

Cynical response #1: Does that represent the amount of time you have to wait while they try to reattach whatever components melt off?

Cynical response #2: Hopefully that represents the warranty period for early adopters.

True, it's based on leaked info. So between now and May 21st (official announcement date) new developments could arise.

Infinity is really just a play on 360.. Loop.. Circle.. Double circle? Infinity!

That logo you posted is a fake. The guy who made it posted about it in Reddit (http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/1e2s0u/discovered_that_everyone_thinks_a_fake_xbox/) and a bunch of game sites started grabbing the logo he made and reporting it as some kind of leak when it was just something he made for fun in Photoshop. It shows how fucking stupid about 99% of game news sites are these days.

Yeah, there's no official confirmation from Microsoft. Still pretty amazing that it had taken off so quickly without any fact-checking! haha

Either way, it makes a good visual for what I assume will be the next Xbox's nomenclature.
