I'm thinking that this refers to the MS Xbox360 Store that is going to be opening in Toyko. A place of supreme happiness and bliss would begin to describe a store where you could get everything Xbox360.

 		Maybe the countdown is to the opening event of that XBox store and the "angels of Origen" are the people who created it?

I was given that by redpaw....I tried on my own using Notre Dame's translator. Every word has practically a dozen potential meanings. The only free online phrase translator says its too busy to respond at this time. A latin expert is definitely in order...

 		Yes, there was already a translation... by little_mrs herself, if I'm not mistaken. ^^;


Anyhow, good job on finding that writing, I never would have done... just when I was starting to think there would be nothing except from more fruit appearing, something -finally- appears! ...not that it means anything much yet, of course... guess we're still just left waiting for another update after all.

 		Great work folks, but take it back to the other thread, please. We're looking more for newswire announcements and reaction here.

OKAY THAT'S IT STOP POSTING ABOUT THIS STUPID ORIGEN CRAP IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE. THERE IS NO MEANING. NOBODY CARES ABOUT IT. YOU WILL NOT GET A FREE XBOX. MICROSOFT SUCKS.

ANYBODY WHO BRINGS FORWARD ONE MORE STUPID USELESS SPECULATIVE THEORY IS GOING TO FACE THE WRATH OF MY BUNNY FISTS SMASHING THEIR EXOTIC FRUIT!


TOTALY. I drove all the way to midtown in the middle of the day and I didn't get a H2 demo disc or anything.

I think you're confusing this thread with the XBox 360 thread, Jerms. Smile

This one was just moved here from News & Rumors. So, this is the "other thread" you're thinking of. Wink

 		link to translation and explanation
http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/9168/Origen-Xbox-360-Hidden-Latin-Phrase-Discovered/

Here's team xbox's take on the latin...

"In this space our tree has flourished abundant with the unknown fruits of Elysium, who will play in the chosen place, surrounded by the angels of Origen.

It it worth mentioning that spatio means space as well as time or interval. Also, the Elysium (the spelling Elysium is a latinization of the Greek word Elysion) are the Elysians Fields in greek mythology. The place where the mortals favored by the gods can go when they die. It is a peaceful and beautiful place similar to the modern concept of paradise. "

"For them doth the strength of the sun shine below,
While night all the earth doth overstrow.
In meadows of roses their suburbs lie,
Roses all tinged with a crimson dye.
They are shaded by trees that incense bear,
And trees with golden fruit so fair.
Some with horses and sports of might,
Others in music and draughts delight.
Happiness there grows ever apace,
Perfumes are wafted o'er the loved place,
As the incense they strew where the gods' altars are
And the fire that consumes it is seen from afar."

Go to Finder > Applications > Utilities and launch the application with an icon of some scissors and the corner of a window. This is the screenshot grabbing app.

Easier to do cmd+shift+3 for a full screenshot, or cmd+shift+4 for a selective screenshot (use the crosshairs to select the part of the screen you want a picture of).

 		The site has updated again



and some latin text is found

Quote:
In addition to the new rabbit and fruits, today's update of the Origen Xbox 360 website also has a text in latin in one of the branches. The text only appears in you zoom in using the Flash menu; if you capture the screen and paste it in Photoshop, the text won't appear.

Here is the text:

in hoc spatio arbor noster floruit, fecundus pomies Elysii ignoti, qui in loco ludent electi, ab Originis angelis circumdati.

That would translate in English as:

In this space our tree has flourished abundant with the unknown fruits of Elysium, who will play in the chosen place, surrounded by the angels of Origen.

It it worth mentioning that spatio means space as well as time or interval. Also, the Elysium (the spelling Elysium is a latinization of the Greek word Elysion) are the Elysians Fields in greek mythology. The place where the mortals favored by the gods can go when they die. It is a peaceful and beautiful place similar to the modern concept of paradise.




All these clues are pointing to an event that might take place on September 27th on a place (Elysium) in which some favored mortals will get to play Xbox 360 before the console's launch. The rumored NYC Xbox 360 store? Another store in Tokyo, Japan? What about Europe?
