how do you call Xbox 360 in English? Is it...

  Xbox Three hundred and sixty?

  Xbox Three sixty?

  Xbox Three Six Zero? or...?

FYI, we call it Xbox San(3) Roku(6) Maru(○=0), NOT xbox sanbyaku-rokuju :P

I don't know about "Xbox 360", but if only 360 is to said, it can be said Three sixty in short or three hundred and sxity (quite formal) and generally people don't say Three Six Zero!!!!

"Xbox three sixty" is the only way I've heard it said.

I'm pretty sure it's called Xbox three sixty!! I wonder how they call it in Chinese or any other languages!!

Three Sixty! ok, thanks guys! Then, do you say like "do you wanna play some games on my xbox three sixty today?" "yea, i'd love to! i don't have xbox three sixty" ? Ooooh, it sounds too long!

ummm... well if you put it that way, when we know that we are talking about an xbox 360, we just say 360 or xbox. That is in US (my American friends talk like that). It has to be like that on other english speaking countries too. In Latin American countries, is pretty the same but we say it in spanish of course. So it's the "tres sesenta" (three sixty) and not the "trescientos sesenta" (three hundred and sixty). So... Suzu, wanna play Blue Dragon on my 360?.

oh ok, Japanese say like that too. (we just say 360 - "san-roku-maru"). "Tres sesenta" sounds very cute to me somehow. and yes, i'd like to play Blue Dragon on your tres sesenta! send it to me! :P
