10 bucks says it is Halo related, but it's just about that daggum movie that no one should care about until it is 100% proven not to suck.

No clue.

 

[Gremmie4]

Somehow I think this will end badly (either with being a hoax or another lame ass viral marketing thing).

 

[Striek]

Looks like some TXB user created the site (going by those pictures in the directory). Makes sense to me.

 

[jooey]

if this is a hoax I will torch my NES Zelda 3 prototype I swear to god

 

[Date of Lies]

This is my question though, why would any company put money into viral marketing?


EDIT: YOU CAN'T TOrCH ZELDA 3, YOU HAVEN'T yET TAKEN SCREENSHOTS OF ANYTHING BUT THE TITLE SCREEN!!

 

[Syb]

But I want to see Halo 3!

Well, it was pretty convincing anyway if true

Bravo -_-

BUTTER MONSTER!

 

[krypt0nian]

would MS really register a domain at godaddy.com? This smells like a hoax.

ahem....

Doubful. Like I said before, Xmun is an admin. If this is a hoax, it fooled everyone, and didn't originate on the forums.

 

[vatstep]

Okay, actually, this is interesting. This domain is registered using the EXACT SAME credentials as hex168.com and 101101000.com.

OMGGGGG

 

[puck1337]

Halo 3 exclusive on Revolution

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST

 

[Date of Lies]

search "15111 N. Hayden Rd., Ste 160, PMB 353" on google and you'll get alot of results, even one from wikipedia

OMGGGGG

Next question:

What are hex168.com and 101101000.com?

 

[AZ Greg]

Quick someone put the address into Google Earth!

 

[krypt0nian]

Next question:

What are hex168.com and 101101000.com?

In the beginning God created the Heavens and the Earth....

 

[Speevy]

Maybe figuring out whether it's a hoax is part of the hype machine. Halo 3 is gonna be awesome!

 

[Striek]

Doubful. Like I said before, Xmun is an admin. If this is a hoax, it fooled everyone, and didn't originate on the forums.

Oh well, I was just basing that off the pictures of X360 stuff and an X360 (for Windows) controller with a message (of proof?) for TXB.
(http://www.crashtodesktop.com/xbox360/x2.jpg)

And FWIW, anyone can register a domain @ http://domainsbyproxy.com/ and have that info.

 

[Date of Lies]

Next question:

What are hex168.com and 101101000.com?

101101000 = 360 in binary

168 = 360 in hexadecimal

 

[Odysseus]

That far back, huh?

Edit: So those are other viral marketing crap sites? Oh well. I followed ilovebees for all of two days before I got bored with it, and I haven't bothered with the rest of the stuff that has come along.

 

[gprime]

Anyone can register a domain and mask it with the same service though.

And it's hosted on one of those cheapie 1and1 account that everyone got for free a couple months back. Not so professional for Microsoft.

Well if it's a hoax or not, it was definitely made by whoever "TFX" of TeamXbox is.

 

[Syb]

Lets hunt down this mutha fuka.

 

[MetatronM]

Looks like some TXB user created the site (going by those pictures in the directory). Makes sense to me.

Of course, based on their experience from the I Love Bees campaign, don't you think they might have placed all that there expecting people to find it?


Just playing devil's advocate.

 

[Speevy]

TFX is a mod and a graphic artist.

Hold on I'll get on MSN and ask him if he created an elaborate hoax.

They could also be doing it to throw people off. Everyone knew what Origen was right away when they saw who it was registered to.

 

[Cerebral Palsy]

hhhmmmmmmm

 

[Syb]

Maybe its some sort of TeamXbox thing.

TeamXbox360?

 

[Suburban Cowboy]

can someone plz explain wtf is going on? What does this have to do with any thing...

 

[krypt0nian]

He's not appearing online on Yahoo/AOL/ICQ btw...

 

[StoOgE]

I would guess its some sort of relaunch of teamxbox for the 360 the day before the system comes out. I still have him on MSN (unless he changed addy's over the last year or so) and he isnt on, but I PM'ed him at TXB.

[StoOgE]

LOLerton. They post this shit and get away with it on Teamxbox. 30 minutes after its posted on GAF and we destroy the hoax and they are fumbling around trying to fix it. No one let the TXB people know its a hoax, lets just laugh as they go crazy trying to figure it out.

 

[Ecrofirt]

Someone saw us...check out the file list on crashtodesktop now... :lol

Oh, did they get rid of the TXB picture?

 

[Date of Lies]

Someone saw us...check out the file list on crashtodesktop now... :lol

so that means that the crashtodesktop thing wasn't planned and we outsmarted him.

[Ecrofirt]

Really? Well its not. Its missing pix now. LOL

I'm taunting him at teamxbox right now and he keeps deleting my posts.

The pictures just started disappearing for me now. they were all there a second ago.

[StoOgE]

Yeah, keep this off of TXB. I just talked to them and they say whatever it is will be good. Plus, the mass suicide by TXBers when its NOT Halo 3 will be priceless.

 

[Date of Lies]

We owned his ass

 

[StoOgE]

Hey guys, we were asked to delete any info from GA outing their hoax. They asked nice and they are cool guys, so I'll delete my posts in a few minutes, the rest is up to ya'll.

[CB3]

:lol :lol :lol This Shit is Comedy

 

[Speevy]

The Speevy has no knowledge of any "hoax".

 

[Date of Lies]

man I can't believe it took GAF 5 minutes to crack this huge hoax keeping all of the TeamXbox forum's fanboys awake at night

 

[scarybore]

Speevy/Stooge, get your buddy to unban my ass.

Sorry we exposed him. Either that or I carpet bomb IGN/xbox.com with the truth.

Its TRX' choice...

Unban and I'll edit. For the record, I never exposed him at TXB...i just posted Hiya TRX and the other pic of the TXB forums that was there.

Do it anyways! :lol

 

[krypt0nian]

The Speevy has no knowledge of any "hoax".

well whomever is in contact with them needs to get krypt0nian unbanned. Its really up to them.
