I heard from other message boards that you can see the name of your Xbox from the multiplayer screen in Halo or as the default name entry for DOA3. So this leads me to the topic...What did Microsoft name your Xbox?

BTW. I also read that Halo allows you to change this name. Since the names editable what are you going to change it to?

I don't know the name of mine, but, I wouldn't be surprised if my XBox's name is "BEER" :D

But there is also a default name. I have never entere the word crazy anywhere, but that is the name of my box.

No s***. Mine's named stumpy also. Well we know the names aren't unique. I wonder how many names they used. 1.1 million is a lot of names ya know. ;)

Haven't thought of a name for it yet.

i dont get it, ok when i go to the multiplayer screen and i press "a" to join our whatever i have 3 people to choose from, the name i entered when i started my game, then one named Default, then one named Inverted.
is Inverted the name of my xbox?
or does everyone have Inverted on Halo? if so how do i exactly find out my xbox's name?

I'm not sure...but, I was just being silly about mine being "Pornstar" :D When I get home, I plan on checking it out...it will be late, but, hey, no work tomorrow...just gaming excellence :D I'll keep you informed :)

if you don't pick a user profile in multiplayer, you'll get one of those names, more creative than using Player 1 and Player 2, and it's different all the time, I don't think your XBOX has one name, it'll use them all

Mine was named PS2&GCKLLR Not exactly sure what that means. Probably just a random generated name like a license plate. :)

Awesome, mines named Killer. I was wondering what that meant. I haven't been here in awhile cause Halo is like drugs, so addicting. My dad is even playing with me so i have my single player game and a 2 player game. Flood Suck

Dude you guys are stupid. I agree with Gortholomew. Your xbox doesnt have a name, those are just randomly generated from names such as "Crazy" "Hambone" "Snake" "Stumpy" "Whimsy" or "Walla Walla" those are just the ones off the top of my head. Once again: Your xbox doesnt have a name.

Before you start talking out of your ass, why don't you know what you are talking about.

My box has been named crazy every time i play on line. That is not very random.

Mine is called Ol' Pete.

Anyone else have a seafaring name like that? Sounds like a grizzeled old sailor to me.
