1,This is a countdown to the launch of the xbox 360- Highly unlikely considering the final SDKs just came out a couple days ago
2. This is a countdown to the announcement of a game- The current games in question include: Halo 3, Killer Instinct (dont know why), Fable has been mentioned, or some new RPG named Origen
3. This is going to announce that the xbox 360 will come with an HD-DVD drive. Also highly unlikely considering HD-DVD is being delayed even for standalone devices til sometime in 2006. Although it has been asserted that an HD-DVD or Blu-Ray drive might be a possible add-on at some point. Microsoft is sticking with the DVD since they dont want to worry about another VHS/BetaMax battle and choose the losing format.
4. This is a countdown to the announcement of the new Xbox 360 store in NYC and Tokyo. This has been brought up since there is a building in Tokyo with the 360 logo on its faces and no one knows what it is for yet. Also there is a large space in NYC that is being looked at "by a company of the same calibur as Microsoft"
5. This is a countdown to announce the xbox 360 will be region free. Region is Origen scrambled up so there is some validity to this theory although there is no real connection beyond that.
6. This is a countdown to announce the xbox 360 will have extra functions including MSN integration, Google Talk, and a form of video chat. We already know there is going to be audio, video, and text chat with the xbox360, but it would be very nice if users on xbox could also interact with users on PCs. There is already talks about being able to play games cross-platform so the communication means seems also like a good chance to be cross-platformed. Also the first fruit looked as if there was a shadow of the MSN messenger symbol on it which sparked this theory
7. The fruit on the tree represents the different regions US, UK, and JP. Thats about all for that theory
8. THX8612 from unforums mentioned that there is 3 sets of fruit, 3 pairs equal 6, and the 0 around the base of the tree which gives you 360. Interesting thought
9. Magritte is the Font and also the name of a famous painter who did the man in the derby hat with the apple in front of his face. This was actually a painting done when Magritte was requested to paint a self-portrait. This could just be a homage to the artist or it could be telling us that the fruit is also hiding something. I dont believe this has been mentioned before but it seems to make more sense once you know the background of Magritte's painting.
10. At one point origen.org redirected you to ORIental GENeration search on google.
11. Origen could be one of those new flash words that Microsoft came up with to describe the 360. Just as Viewtiful combined 2 words to create a new one, Origen could be in the likeness of nextgen except Origen would mean that the 360 is the Originator of a generation or of the new generation of gaming.
12. I hope I touched on everything of importance so far. Any other theories including hidden sandwiches in the tree, the theologian Origen, etc. is not worth mentioning.
