Microsoft aquires 'Xbox Gold' domains

4.5
Microsoft has registered at least 16 domains which revolve around the 'Xbox Gold' name.

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?

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

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.

This is simply pointless...Xbox.com gets a lot of flow already.

I don't see the point of these if they are purely for advertising gold, it's already on the original Xbox site and more traffic flows through that area.

MTV Actually a smart idea.


Yeah it is, it would suck if someone had a few of these, then they would want money from Microsoft for the domains.
