Early this month, I wrote about Microsoft secretly acquiring the domain names Halo5.com and Halo9.com.
Now, the company has made two more interesting domain purchases this week. On March 28, 2012, Microsoft Corporation registered XboxFL.com (Whois) and XboxFL.net (Whois).
So, what on earth is “Xbox FL”?
Your guess is as good as mine.
At the time of this story, both domain names redirect visitors to Bing.
[Updated March 31, 2012 10:57am EST:. Microsoft added another domain to the list. The company registered registered XboxFL.cz on March 30. .cz isthe country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Czech Republic.]
