grammar question: why does 'X-BOX' get article 'an' insted of 'a'? isn't x consonant?

Just a typo nothing more, as you can I see I misspelled 'want' also.
Haha, c'mon it's the internet, go look-up that Internet 'Jargon' topic if you want bad speech.

actually, it should be "an", because in this context an is used to define a thing [the thing being the Xbox].

Well, now that I think about it, I'm not exactly sure why either.
It just sounds better, don't you agree?

because "a" can't come before a word beginning with a vowel. "x-box" doesn't start with a vowel, but the "x" is pronounced "ex", like it has a vowel at the beginning. ther's other words like it, can't think of them.
back to the topic, i don't have an x-box, but i heard Halo is good....

because the sentence "I want a X-box" just sounds wrong
I dont think its typo if you say it out loud it sounds wrong
and im sorry youre getting an X-box, but enjoy for what its worth
Halo is pretty fun, I think thats the whole idea of an X-box...

Yeah I absolutely LOVE HALO...Its on sale most places here for like 15-20 bucks, I will probably get it. Anyone played FIFA 2003?...2002 was shite and I hope they went back to the good format...

ok. so everytime a word starts with x it is an? (oh wait it can't be, who says 'an xenophobe') english language is so stupidly filled with exeptions. swedish is much more convenient.
as for xbox, i disliked it since the controllers were way too big for my hands :/

Because I'm against X-Box, I hate that console, I think its just a big hunk of shit, but then again I love my Gamecube, only because I just want to play games and nothing more...X-box seems to much for me.

they have redone the controllers....they are smaller and the buttons moved a bit...I think they are way more comfy than those big retarded ones...I agree...

No, a vowel. Not necessarily the letter X. A vowel A E I O U and since X sounds like ex, then you would use an.

if i had eine x-box i would first take jet set radio future... then maybe dead or alive (i already have doa2, so rather that beach volley and other vacation doax thingy), and i played a demo of 'blinx: the time sweeper', which seems to be quite good for a platform game! (though it is cartoonish, like every platform game nowadays... sadly)

TimeSplitter2 is better than Halo imo. It is shitloads faster, and the muliplayer aspect makes it unbeaten thus far.... High hopes for Halo 2 though

Halo and Splinter Cell almost made me buy an Xbox... but Splinter is coming out for Gamecube, and Halo for CPU... so it's all good.
