So when did a typo become worthy of its own thread?

easy mistake-a to make-a, would have been funny if he actually typed the words one one one - two-sixty, then there would be no excuse lol

Might just be a typo, but thats a huge website, not some forum.

Not very professional really is it.

Yes, it was on a caption of the Xbox 360s being packaged and it now correctly reads as 360.

markeh · 9 Nov 2006 at 16:39

Maybe they read this thread
