Microsoft aquires 'Xbox Gold' domains
The latest series of purchases date from February 23, with the purchase of the XboxGold.com domain.
Sources report that Microsoft has filed complaints over owned domains including XboxGold.org and Xbox-Gold.com.
The list of domains bought by Microsoft include the following:
XboxGold.biz
XboxGold.com.co
XboxGold.us
XboxGold.at
XboxGold.ch
XboxGold.jp
XboxGold.mx
XboxGold.ru
XboxGold.tw
XboxGold.fr
At this time, it is unclear as to exactly what Microsoft is planning regarding Xbox Gold. It could be Microsoft simply protecting its brand.
Microsoft's Xbox LIVE Gold subscription service is often referred to as Xbox Gold. So could Microsoft could be planning on making a name switch for its online service as we head into the next gen Xbox?

TubaAxe I see that it looks like we are paying for gold again... -_-
It's microsoft. They like their money...
Hey, why not man? If you could make that kind of money wouldnt you? The more money they make the more they can invest back into their products which will only make them better. A business is a business, microsoft being massively successful in what it does, so ofc it likes our money, without it microsoft wouldnt be what it is today. It does what it has to, making extra money where it can, and well why wouldnt you as a business.

Woobie Maybe removing LIVE from the name? So you'll either just have Xbox gold or silver
Never thought of that...

They are just preventing others from using them, I highly doubt they are doing something special with them..

CyberPunk People calling it pointless obviously dont understand a few key things. a big one being people not too good at computers or people who have no idea what they are doing could be trying to buy gold or buy it for a gift online and come across these Xbox Gold sites and as most of you have probably seen on here with people promising microsoft points or attempting to scam etc you can be damned sure people do it with Xbox Live/Gold subscriptions.
Thanks for the definition, I wasn't too sure at all about why they would make these domains.
