MICROSOFT'S Xbox 2 will almost certainly be called Xbox 360, it now seems.
Gaming press SPOnG said hacks attended a marketing briefing in Soho, where consumers were pitched different marketing campaigns for the machine, which is due to launch in time for Christmas.

Slogans apparently mooted include 'Xbox 360: Amplify Yourself!' and 'Xbox Live: Menage a Billions'. Fantastic.

The story suggested that the proposed marketing campaigns were bland and unimaginative.

With security in its software being a major talking point, it seems that Microsoft might want to consider the security surrounding its marketing events too. µ
