Sony Computer Entertainment America acquires “TakeTheOath.com,” presumably for the PS4

Sony are gearing up for the launch of the PlayStation 4 in around two weeks time in North America and they have been splashing the cash as well by the looks of things. Just recently Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC has acquired the TakeTheOath.com domain name.

The domain which switched hands this week from its previous owners looks to have cost Sony up to $3,000, with the latest sighting on Rare Names/Buydomains set at $2,988 in early October.

There is no website or any sort of indication about what the domain name could be or mean at the minute, but I should think it is something to do with a viral marketing campaign that Sony are playing for the PlayStation 4.

I’m sure we’ll see something in the next few weeks though if they are using it for that. If it isn’t for the PlayStation 4 then it might be for a game that they have got coming up, or an unannounced on, but who knows.

Misread the domain name as TakeTheOrth.com and thought "what the hell" at first

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

Viral site for PS4 is the most likely use for this domain, although I could see it working for The Order 1886 as well.

 

[CHC]

Oath to coalition?!

Please be this ^

Spoiler

It won't be this...

 

[daveo42]

Most likely something related to The Order 1886.

 

[Yoday]

Absolutely sounds like something related to The Order 1886.

 

[Nags]

Obviously Persona 5.

 

[FoneBone]

Sounds like a promotional site and not the actual title of a game. So yeah, almost certainly The Order.

Outhbound?

Sounds like a child saying Earthbound.

Spoiler

Earthbound remake PS4 confirmed

 

[TetraGenesis]

I thought The Order immediately too. Who knows though.

Confirmed for PS4.

 

[ckohler]

Probably for The Order: 1886.

 

[Train of Midnight]

Probably for The Order: 1886.

That was my thought.

 

[LilWayneSuckz]

Maybe it's for "The Order 1886" or whatever IP may be announced at the VGAs

Nothing to indicate it's PS4 related. Could just be for PC.

 

[Cow Goes Moo]

Elder scrolls maybe?

 

[Coxy]
