Microsoft Registers Mysterious Domains XboxAb.com and XboxAb.net

4.3
Looks like Microsoft is up to mischief again, as Redmond’s console manufacturer and software giant just registered two new Xbox-related domains.
The two domains, registered at the same time yesterday, are XboxAb.com and XboxAb.net. A trademark search on similar yielded no result, and there’s absolutely no information on what they could be used for.
Considering the timing, it could be something related to E3, but that’s just a wild guess. Feel free to post your own in the comments below.

Dylan- Probably won't be used for anything at all


Right... Microsoft registers two new domains and you think they won't use it at all?

It'll be as pointless as Noel Gallagher's O-A-S-I-S OASIS tweet.

Might be something to do with Microsoft's virtual reality? I dunno, just my thoughts...

Wonder what they will be used for most likely nothing

DeadMouse I bet it won't even be used...


Yeah I remember they did something like this a few years back and nobody heard anything.

Would be cool if they did something though

I'm guessing for a it's for a giveaway or something similar to rewards

I wonder what they will be using those domains for? Might be for some kind of project they will be doing in the next couple of years or something.

Sounds like they're using these domains for Alpha and Beta testing with .com as a public use and .net for private uses.

I'm curious to see what it will be used for, if they decide to do something important with it.
