Message: [QUOTE="LaserMoose, post: 150715, member: 26991"] Hmm... not quite a feature, but the reason behind the name Xbox was because it was short for "DirectX box", as the system ran off of a modified Windows 2000 by using DirectX 8.1, hence the common PC ports found on the system. The marketing team didn't like the name initially, however the name was popular during their focus testing and was thus chosen as the final name. Additionally, the original Xbox was the first system capable of using Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound natively. This was a feature possible on PS2, however it was only in specific FMV scenes or for movies, and not during normal gameplay. [/QUOTE]
