Poll results: Xbox and not XBOX

There you have it folks... a shut out by Xbox 360. From the beginning we knew "Xbox" would win. Why? Because it's the right way to spell it. It's the way we spell it at Xbox 360 Fanboy, and it's the way Microsoft spells it all over their website, as Patrick pointed out. To further cement our point, our Microsoft PR rep. dropped us an email saying, "Just wanted to let you know that the correct spelling of Xbox is Xbox, not XBOX." Xbox's own Larry Hyrb (aka Major Nelson) spells it Xbox, and you can't get much more official than that. But still, as clear cut as it would seem, almost 30% of the fanboys reading this disagreed!
Here's what we want to know: if you voted for "XBOX 360", will you change your ways? Did you know that XBOX 360 was spelled incorrectly, but you voted for it on aesthetic grounds? Really... we want to know!

I think spelling of xbox like "Xbox" make it look a little more clearner like the new system, were as the older looks more intense. That may sound retarded but whatever...

Look at your logo. Looks like all caps to me. Look at the 360 logo. Do you see a pattern here?

I think its both; the logo image is XBOX360 whereas all official Microsoft text is Xbox360. Look here http://www.xbox.com/en-US/
Anyways, who cares?

The fanboy logo is ALL in caps, and usually, logos are in caps. I'm not saying that they are always in caps, but usually because i gues it makes everything look even.
ex. Game Spot logo
