origenxbox360.com Speculation Thread

[rollinup]

I just thought I'd make an official thread for all of our Origen Xbox360 thoughts, as well as the updates.

So lets see here, the site has currently been up for about 4 weeks, in the recent update 2 rabbits have appeared, 2 new fruits have appeared and latin text has appeared on one of the tree branches saying:

"in hoc spatio arbor noster floruit, fecundus pomies Elysii ignoti, qui in loco ludent electi, ab Originis angelis circumdati."

Which translates to:

"In this space our tree has flourished abundant with the unknown fruits of Elysium, who will play in the chosen place, surrounded by the angels of Origen."

The current SWF file is named: "week-4_with_latin.swf"

Here is some speculation from TeamXbox:

All these clues are pointing to an event that might take place on September 27th on a place (Elysium) in which some favored mortals will get to play Xbox 360 before the console's launch. The rumored NYC Xbox 360 store? Another store in Tokyo, Japan? What about Europe?

Let the speculation begin!

It's only definitive if staff decides on it.

Sorry Chris, should have known better.

[Wolvereen]

just curious where you see latin?

I see that the file is called "countdown/week-4_with_latin.swf" but I don't see it on the pic...

I can't find it on the tree myself, but it has been confermed, here is a screenshot from TeamXbox with a little explination:

In addition to the new rabbit and fruits, today's update of the Origen Xbox 360 website also has a text in latin in one of the branches. The text only appears in you zoom in using the Flash menu; if you capture the screen and paste it in Photoshop, the text won't appear.

Edit: Aha, I found it, it's coming out of one of the branches near the lower part of the trunk:

I looked up the meaning of the word Elysium:

a place or condition of ideal happiness.

How can the words be written with a smaller pixel than what the tree has? It seems like when you see someone in a movie zoom into a pixelated image and then "fix" it so they can see the face of the suspect.

FYI - Elysium Fields in Ancient Greek culture is akin to Heaven in current Christiandom...

It's flash, so it's vector based... the tree itself is a rasterbased image, hence the pixels when you zoom in, but the text is vector based so it can be really really REALLY tiny without losing quality..

ok update for Sept 7th 2005.

The latin text has been taken off the tree. The yellow rabbit has been removed also and the green rabbit is back under the tree and now there are only 4 apples in the tree.

Hey is it me or does this little branch seem like hands on a clock? It's a bit randomly placed too don't you think?

The 'hand' as you describe looks like a sihlouette of Joanna Dark to me... pointing guns in opposite directions...

[kevcart3]

What's up with this?

[talk_shows_on_mute]

2 more apple showed up in that exact spot now

[cocklea]

i hope this origen thing is an announcement of the "Core" SKU's death. that package is so stupid! Companies have already stated that some games will require the HDD yet they said the "Core" is for casual gamer. what the mother of crap is up with that!?

[Civilian]
