Forums - Microsoft Discussion - XboxEvent.com just registered by the same company that did Xbox's E3 presentations

Nsanity on 22 February 2013

Saw this over on NeoGaf

The company Eventcore (formerly ustechs) just registered the Domain xboxevent.com yesterday (February 21th) 

http://whois.domaintools.com/xboxevent.com

Eventcore plans and executes large events and meetings like 2013 AT&T developer summit (http://www.whois.com/whois/2013devsummit.com) and they only acquire domains for events they are organizing.

https://www.eventcore.com/

They also have MS in their list of references. (e.g. https://microsofthostingsummit.com/)

But especially this:

www.xboxe312.com (google cache) - official site for media registration for E3 2012 Keynote

This event is also managed by Eventcore and the domain was acquired also by them.

Now we compare both sites:

 

 

 

 

Another example:

Use AdBlock. Right click on the ava you want to block, select "block this ad" (or something like this, I use the german version). Confirm.

In this screen

make sure only "src" is active, this way you will be able to block individual avatars instead of all.

I hope I could help^^

Well, that was quick. Didnt take them long at all to react.

Someone must be a tad worried.

So if they waited a couple weeks and then did this it would be ok? lol

Its ok no matter when they do it. Registering it the day after Sony's event though makes it pretty obvious that its a reaction.

Microsoft probably saw the media attention, along with millions of live viewers and thought... "Wow, we need some of that. Get the event sorted asap!".
