Xbox¹
- /ˈɛks bɒks/ UK
Where it comes from
From "DirectX box". In use since the announcement of the original Xbox in 2000.
noun Xboxes · XBox · X-box
- Any of the home consoles in Microsoft's Xbox product line, especially the original Xbox. The Xbox or the Arcade Game Box? That's weird. They knocked off the look of the Xbox with the PlayStation controller.
verb Xboxes · Xboxing · Xboxed
- To play a video game using an Xbox home console. There's a time and a place for mindless activities (we don't need to make them a big deal) but, if done excessively, they don't exactly deliver what they promise. In other words, Xboxing for hours at a time may give you an illusion of rejuvenation but it doesn't truly make you feel rested.
