i think its the name of the first file name you save, but i have no clue. The name of the first file i saved on mine is ENCHILADA! and now my Xbox is named that. How do you post a thread without having to reply to someone else's thread?

DOA3. At least it was in the good ol' days. Now, it's really anything that has an offline scoreboard (I think anyway).

What's DOA3?

  • 05.27.2004 10:17 AM PDT

Dead Or Alive 3, an AWFUL game (but only because I hate beat-'em-ups),

Aww, so you have to buy a game just to name your Xbox. Interesting.

  • 05.27.2004 10:24 AM PDT

Well, it's actually a name stored in a certain area of your Xbox that simply saves your name for use in highscore tables. Halo merely uses this to give your Xbox an identity.

Your Xbox has the same name as someone else's? Brilliant!

Now I don't feel so bad... I just bought a new Halo Xbox and it has the same name as my old Xbox--Disco. When I transferred most of my save files, I named the memory card with that name and I think that might have changed the name on my new 'box before I got to see what its real name was.
When I tried using the same trick again to change the name, nothing happened, so if naming your memory card changes the name of your Xbox, it must be a one time thing.

I don't care about changing the name, but it's weird that a second Xbox I bought over a year after my first one would have the same name.

Alright, time for the final tally, DOA3 does it. using your halo name for the first time does it, MotoGP2 does it, and using your memory card for the first time does it. Anything else?

Same here. But I don't mind. Whicker is a kick ass. It was also my name when I won my very first Halo match.
