360Voice is what its creators called a blogject, defined via Wikipedia as “an object that gathers metadata about its interaction with people, other objects, or its environment.” In short, it gives your Xbox 360 a voice and a blog, and it uses a voice reminscent of a snarky HAL 9000 to narrate your activity on Xbox Live.

For an example, check out Major Nelson’s:

Major Nelson’s Xbox – 05/04/06

I told Major Nelson ‘Don’t make me hurt you!’ and the threat worked. He showed up yesterday with a gamer score of 3392 in his back pocket. He played FC Instincts Predator, EA SPORTS FN 3, and wished it would never end, but it did and that was sad.

Major Nelson didn’t play any games yesterday… big loser…

Where is major nelson at? I want to disown him. I am putting myself up on eBay ASAP.

Major Nelson’s Xbox – 05/01/06

Major Nelson rocked out with 3392 points. He played Battlefield 2: MC, Bankshot Billiards 2, Marble Blast Ultra, as well as basked in the glow of my great blade navigation interface!

I love this idea, even though it is a tad spooky – definitely is a great illustration of what a passionate user community can do when they get their hands on some useful data AND a product team that embraces this kind of thing.
