Rumor: Introducing the Xbox Pure [update: it's a hoax]

By Xav de Matos
Update: Looks like this 'rumor' was intended as a contest entry on CheapAssGamer. The contest: create a fake rumor and see if any gaming blogs would pick it up – so, we did. And called it a rumor, ie: something that may or may not be true. This one isn't, so move along.

A tipster at CheapAssGamer claims to have received a document from a source that outlines the Xbox 360 will be renamed to Xbox Pure. Taking this rumor with a grain of salt and running with it for a moment, according to the document the console is also codenamed Xbox Lean as well as Xbox Granite which could point to a newer, smaller Xbox 360 console branded as the Xbox Pure. However, the document could be referring to the next Xbox console.

Of course, the document is suspect for now considering it has no defining Microsoft marks like a company logo or Steve Ballmer's furious developer-loving sweat. Fighting in favor of its legitimacy the tipster claims to have received the document from a source named "GilZ" who supposedly broke the news about HDMI capable Xbox 360 consoles and the Xbox 360 Elite models.
