FINAL POLL: White XBox engraving-tastic...

[The Liberal Elite]

if you're going for geeky, what about, 'klaatu barada nikto'?

[acidforblood]

Phendrana

[multi]

"helmet" sounds good to me, but I'm pissed.

[ryodi]

"Push Start".

I like this. Although "Press Start" would be better.

[Alex W.]

I fooked the line, didn't I?

[toonfool]

Insert Coin. That fits.

But that font just does not suit it.

[Juria]

I'm not voting, none of them are my suggestions

[Guest Penguin_Lad]

Why deface it???

[zxcvbnm]

plain and simple, it should just say....

SPUNKED.

[RJames]

Why deface it???

Cos it's free and 'official' and... will probably add value if it's something cool

[Strobes are brilliant]

i'm getting my gamertag

That's the only thing I've heard so far that isn't totally duff.

[RJames]

Why is it the only thing with zero votes then?

[RJames]

So, the winner is pretty clear.

Now, unless you have a compelling case to the contrary, i'm going with lower case I think. Even though it is less accurate for the most part, I think it's aesthetically better. I still include them though.

So:

insert coin

insert coin(s)

Insert Coin

INSERT COIN

??

[mr. fancypants]

INSERT COCK

[rev-happy performance]

Where'd you get that font from Rantin' James?

[Poet]

Because everyone who didn't vote for Insert Coin is taking the piss?

[JayTay]

I still think "Trapped in XBox factory, please send help." was the best suggestion.

[Sng]

"BNP" ?

[Bada Bing!]

James, please don't take this the wrong way mate, but wouldn't it be cooler to have nothing engraved on it?

Surely it'd increase rarity value of having an "unspoiled" white XBox. The font is so naff too.

I hope you enjoy it either way.

[fasteasyfree]

Shut up.

Insert Coin (s).

[Bada Bing!]

Shut up.

Insert Coin (s).

[fasteasyfree]

Shut up.

Insert Coin (s).

I wont take it the wrong way because at least you've being civil

(unlike Poet )

And no I think it is worth having something put on. I reckon a fair number of the 1000 might choose not to have it engraved meaning they'll be more 'virgin' Xboxes around than engraved ones. Plus there'll be loads with people's names and gamertags on.

Having a 'netural' but interesting phrase is the way to go I think.

Poet: I think Tactical Grace would be AWESOME

I just went through a few of the script style fonts windows has as default. I believe the one that matched the Xbox site (see my first post) was Monotype Corsiva.

Aaah right, I thought it was some special font....

I found that font indeed in the fonts folder, thanks

[spanx]

Go on then - insert coin(s) is the best. Just get on with it.

Poet: I think Tactical Grace would be AWESOME

I am being civil. I'm also being honest.

And I think Tactical Grace would be horrific.

[Strobes are brilliant]

'Insert credit' or whatever is second best (after the owner's gamertag, which just makes the most sense), but with that font it just doesn't work.

[RJames]

It is done. Crap font or no...

insert coin

I like the plural too, but again, not sure it's suited to this.

Thanks guys
