Sure, I don't have all of them listed.  Vote for the name you like the least.  Don't vote for the system, just the name. Smiley

Well really, if you look at all of them, the majority is cool. The only stupid names are Pippin, Channel F, and Gizmondo.

But Gizmondo is a special kind of stupid that only autistic children with a fat lip and a urinary problem can come up with, so I voted for that one.

Haha, I though (almost) the exactly same thing.

I wonder if I can get my hands on a Gizmondo...

I'd rather collect STDs than collect the Gizmondo...

Of the choices given, I voted Virtual Boy. That console was a mistake. Sadly, the last thing the great Gunpei Yokoi (creator of Metroid and the original GameBoy) made at Nintendo (he was fired after it flopped). He then moved on to Bandai, created the Wonder Swan, then was killed in a car wreck.  :cry:

I can suggest two other names that should be there:

Tiger's "Game.com" - unimaginative attempt at riding the dot-com bubble.

Xbox - Wooo, really creative. It expresses nothing. GameCube is almost as laughable, but at least the "Cube" part is a cute reference to the design of the console itself. "Box" is just a weak attempt at being hip with the leet PC gamers. (or Microsoft's marketing department just didn't give a rip).
