A very strange new Xbox360 website has popped up on the internet. In fact, the only reason we know it is related to the Xbox360 is by way of the domain name, OrigenXbox360.com, and the site name "Origen Xbox 360".

The actual website itself is very simple, and more than a little strange. It depicts a countdown timer in the background (counting down from roughly 37 days, 11 hours), a tree overlaying the timer, and also the shape of a green rabbit!

So what makes this website special? Well, if you take a look at the whois details, you will see the following:

Registrant:
Microsoft Corporation
Domain Administrator
One Microsoft Way
Redmond, WA 98052
US
Email: [removed]

The registrant details, all the other domain contact details, and also the DNS servers that the site is hosted on, all match the same details for the domain xbox.com - therefore we can conclude this domain and the website are owned and hosted by Microsoft!

The only question that remains is what does it all mean? After a quick google search, it appears that "Origen" was some sort of Christian Theologist, so your guess is as good as mine. Check out the site here.

Thanks to Kr1sh for the news.
