Strange Xbox 360 Countdown Revealed

A strange website has appeared that contains a countdown that might reveal something new for Microsoft's Xbox 360.

ZombieAssassin5324d ago

For now I'm saying it's a fake, would be sweet though to get a nice big announcement.

callmedom945324d ago

Most likely fake. Not registered to anybody important. http://www.whois.net/whois/...

Domain was created 10 days ago

3GenGames5324d ago (Edited 5324d ago )

Agreed. Looking at that sites HTML I can really say it's not any sort of Microsoft site at all, not even close. It's fake, whatever it was even supposed to be for supposedly.

GearsOfWar5324d ago

Yeah tables don't really scream, professional, anymore.

Probably a countdown to a 3-minute commercial thanking someone named Mikey for all the gaming he does.

kaveti66165324d ago

ha.

I hated that commercial. It made gamers look really pathetic.

knifefight5324d ago

The overwhelming praise for it is what made gamers look *extra* pathetic though.
I can't imagine any other industry in which a company could so cleanly pull off advertising advertisements and making commercials about commercials.

@kaveti6616

How so? please enlighten me. A commercial that was intended to thank gamers somehow made them look bad? Tell that to 10mil hits it got on youtube

on topic: bubbles LOOOL mikey

kaveti66165324d ago (Edited 5324d ago )

Well, in my opinion, the commercial was praising a gamer for all the time and effort he put into completing digital tasks.

Anyone outside of the gaming circle who watched the ad must have perceived people who play games as a bunch of pathetic humans who spend way too much time playing way too many games.

Sony was thanking gamers for playing games, but really what they're saying is, "Thank you for giving us money and being loyal to us."

People outside of the gaming circle would have seen it that way, I believe.

I also don't like it when people on this site say things like, "So many games. My wallet is crying." I'm not sure if they're being serious. I hope they're just playing around because I question the intelligence of a person who would spend a lot of money on games at any one time.

People who are not moderate with their hobbies can lose sight of other things, and in conclusion, that commercial made it seem like gamers in general played tons of games, which I think is pathetic.

No offense meant to anyone who considers themselves hardcore gamers, but if you do spend most of your free time playing games, then you should probably put the controller down and do something else. Read a book, go outside, go to a club, go to a party, go jogging, go hiking, go to a museum, go see a film, go hang out with your friends IRL, go to the library, go to a skate park, go to a designated graffiti area and make some public art, etc.

In reality, you accomplish very little by playing video games. Sony's commercial is an underhanded appraisal of video gamers as loyal peons.

andibandit5324d ago

TO MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!

ffs Sony finally spends some money on advertising and it's not even promoting a game like Uncharted 3 or Killzone. To hell with Michael, i want more people online so start promoting those games, cause they arent gonna promote themselves.

"It made gamers look really pathetic"

N4G makes gamers look much worse to be honest.

If its real, don't get too excited. These kinda things are usually huge letdowns.

gamer12325324d ago

It would be sick to have an announcement, but the domain name seems a bit, out of the ordinary. 3601029?
I get the 360 part, but after that, idk. But yeah I'm gonna say fake, but unfortunately so.

MoXxXi5324d ago

Maybe because when the timer goes out it will be 10/29? Or damn close to it... SMH

jvanik5324d ago

That'd be cool, that day's my birthday.

aviator1895324d ago

Interesting, and it certainly looks legit, but I don't know...it might be fake.

"Gaming’s Biggest Fighting Franchise"

Press X to (seriously) doubt.

DarXyde24d ago

Underrated comment. I used to hate that game so much that any time my siblings asked me to play it, I just picked Hom and shut myself down mid-match.

Soy24d ago

And then MK1 killed it again.

DivineHand12524d ago (Edited 24d ago )

15 years went by so fast. I remember playing through the story mode at launch.

Pixels in the Blood: The Journey of Rob Hewson

The name "Hewson" carries a special weight for anyone who grew up during the golden age of British computing. As the son of Andrew Hewson—the man behind legendary publisher Hewson Consultants—Rob Hewson didn't just grow up playing video games; he learned to spell his name from their title screens. However, Rob didn't just rest on his family's 8-bit laurels. From leading major LEGO franchises at TT Games to tackling the high-stakes world of technical porting at Huey Games, Rob has carved out a unique path in an ever-evolving industry. In this candid interview Rob to discussed the burden and beauty of a family legacy, the technical "scar tissue" left by the ambitious Hydrophobia, and why porting a masterpiece like Inscryption to consoles is far more than a simple copy-paste job.
