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?

They probly claim copy right or trade mark on it but dont some big name companys just buy the domin from people sometimes if they already own it i maybe wrong

So you think if we don't pay for gold we don't get security on the console.........
You get security but it's not great... I'd rather pay for gold because it's better all round than psn, you get a better online experience.

Telstra Looks like they are being OCD about any websites linked to the next-gen console
