Xbox 360 countdown timer site: Not as cool as we thought photo

Remember that countdown timer site we found yesterday? Yeah, so about that: It's not for anything cool, so I hope you didn't get too excited. It's not Sonic Kinect or a game for the Olympics or anything even close to that.

It now redirects to xbox360invitational.com, a Korean tournament site. Unless you're a Korean console gamer, this end result could not have been more disappointing.

It's a sad day when you find out a countdown is not for an Olympic Kinect and it's still a letdown.

@DaJay I'm with you! The biggest reason I was rooting for sale was for the axing of corgis. This is looking to backfire :(

Phew! I was afraid it was a countdown for all 360's to collectively Red-Ring!

And all this time it was just some wacky Koreans.

I expected they'd let you know already the intended audience right at the countdown timer. Oh well.
