Xbox720.com owner begins redirecting web address to US PlayStation 3 site

Fusible: It appears the owner of the domain Xbox720.com is none too happy with Microsoft or simply playing an online joke.

As of today, type the web address into your browser and you’ll be redirected to the US PlayStation 3 site (us.playstation.com/ps3).

Won't be long b4 M$ takes the site. Like Activision took that MW3 site that showed information explaining why BF3 is better.

DasTier4537d ago

That was slightly different as MW3 was actually the product name, we don't know the official name for new xbox is yet.

@zeal0us

Not, IF next MS console is not called X720, infinity/loop maybe? :D

MrGunny944537d ago

They see me trolli'n they hati'n

That's what's he doing... I'm not fanboy at all i play on my PC, on my 360, on my ps3, on my 3DS, on my Vita, on my Windows Phone and etc....

I get the best of All worlds ;)

sikbeta4537d ago

Yeah, you know that OS for mobile devices, which is competing against Android and IOS and killing the dedicated gaming handheld market in the process :)

El_Colombiano4537d ago

Not at all actually. Last I remembered, the best game on Windows Phone OS was like...solitaire?

RedDead4537d ago (Edited 4537d ago )

MS should just come out with their next gen consoles nickname like Kinect was called Natal. And register a domain name. That way Xbox 720 site's will die.

No Fishy, I just mean the 720 part.

Xbox "next gen"
Xbox 3 or whatever they want to call it/ For example PSP2 became NGP and Now PS Vita. Those two names would be searched for and thus the likes of XBOX720.com would become obsolete.

Fishy Fingers4537d ago

"xbox" is their brand, one they've spend literally billions developing. Dropping it would be like Sony dropping PlayStation. Idiotic.

Dark_king4537d ago

Really the Xbox is the brand name.Removing it would be stupid they haven't built the brand name to the point non gamer know it to just remove it.It will need something fancy to come after the Xbox like infinity.X Box infinity has a nice ring and would be a great logo.

AJB14537d ago

RedDeadDestroyer has one bubble for a reason.

WillGuitarGuy4537d ago

Didn't this same thing happen with ModernWarfare3 dot com? It would send people to the Battlefield 3 site. Lol.

Mortal Kombat 9 Is Still NetherRealm's Best Game 13 Years Later

Salman from Tech4Gamers writes "Mortal Kombat 9 revived the series from a low point after bringing it back to 2D combat. It marked a new high-point for the franchise due to its incredible roster, exciting cinematic story mode, and high-octane combat."

I like which ever one, Raiden was speed blasting muthafkers.

I agree. 9 was awesome

Shaolin Monks next please

vTuro245h ago

Shaolin Monks is a forgotten gem. I would love to see a new one, or a remake of the old.

vTuro245h ago

That game was actually goated. It was the first time ever that I actually tried to get good at a fighting game. Unfortunately the online connection was so dogshit it made it hard to enjoy and eventually I gave up. Haven't really played much fighting games since.

The Dishwasher
Vigilante 8

Two non-BC and no-PC-version Arcade titles I downloaded recently. Dishwasher's sequel is on Steam at least.

I've also downloaded Ninety-Nine Nights II (shame the first wasn't available). I still want to download Burnout 3: Takedown before the weekend's up, though that is still the full $9.99 non-discounted price

franwex5h ago

Burnout 3 not available in modern times is a crime to humanity.

I know it’s probably due to the music licensing-though they can simply add other music as Burnout 3’s biggest flaw to me personally-is the music!!!

Xbox gamers warned they've 72 hours before a ton of classic games are gone forever

The Xbox 360 Marketplace is officially shutting down in three days, which means dozens of exclusive, digital-only 360 games will no longer be available to purchase anywhere else once it does.

The Xbox 360 will be almost 20 years old next year, and to celebrate this milestone Microsoft have decided to obliterate all of its online functionality.

Phil Spencer: "Game preservation is critical to us at Team Xbox."

darthv7210h ago(Edited 10h ago)

Technically, the games ARE preserved... they are just removing the ability to purchase new games through the 360. They have to keep a full backup of every title (even delisted ones) because they will have to offer the ability to redownload purchased content to users.

I had deleted some games a few years back that had become delisted. I was able to get them back by going through my download history. The games in question were TMNT (classic and re-shelled), afterburner climax and outrun online. Im glad I was able to get those back as they are some of the best on the service.

Lightning779h ago

Well The Ultimate Alliance games have been delisted. I dunno how many old Activision games have been Delisted but MS needs to remake or remaster old Activision games and release them on Xbox and PS. I. Hope that's what they're doing right now.

They can't reserve everything but they 100% can reserve what they got or own.

Fortunately, the X360 was jailbroken a long time ago, so a good part of its library is available for download from 'alternative' sources. Still, it's a bummer to see the store going away.

Inverno9h ago(Edited 9h ago)

Dawn of The First Day
-72 Hours Remain-

Also they can keep the store up for life if they wanted.

hiawa238h ago(Edited 8h ago)

Series X for the back compat titles, and OG Xbox and X360 for those not on BC. I pretty much bought all of the digital games I want for the 360 so I am good.

anast6h ago

They are holding games hostage so people spend more money. This is some sleazy stuff.

Reaper22_5h ago

No, not telling you would be sleazy. I have a few more games to buy then I'm good. 360 was and still is a great console. Xbox is the best place to play!

anast4h ago

I'm not sure we are on the same page.

kennyg1231h ago

you guys will really defend xbox no matter what they do
