Microsoft Bought Xbone.com But Totally Forgot About Some Other Domains…

Today we found out that Microsoft has purchased the ‘Xbone.com’ domain name. Currently it simply redirects to an Xbone search on ‘Bing’ but we have no idea what Microsoft’s plans for the domain are at this point (maybe Microsoft is trying to boost Bing’s traffic numbers). But while it was buying domains, maybe Microsoft should have explored some of the other domains out there…

Let’s start with Xboning.com. A simple website with a simple message and a simple definition…

I had no idea that ‘xbone’ had become a verb. Is there anything this word can’t do?

Xbone.info is a bit more straight laced. It’s a genuine website that attempts to collate all the news about the Xbox One console. Maybe Microsoft should just leave this one alone. Seems to be pretty helpful. It’s a simple site, but the design is clean and it looks nice!

Xboned.com is my personal favourite, a nicely put together little parody put together by Amy Flower at Gameblip that takes the mickey out of Microsoft’s attitudes towards indies and self-publishing.

Oh, and just a heads up while I’ve got you: don’t bother trying xboner.com, especially if you’re on your work computer or in the near vicinity of minors… if you know what I mean. I took the bullet so you don’t have to.

(Psst… it’s a harcore porn site)

Yeah, I’m totally subtle.
