Microsoft files to recover Xbox One domain

Simple:

No-one really likes XboxOne title anyway so they should have or get a better title.

They should have got someone to buy the names they wanted beforehand, a friend, relative of the company and not wait until past the last minute. Why reveal something to the public if you don't have a way of getting the name already lined up?

i would like to see this owner sell the domains to other competing company. it would be freaking sweet.

Gamespot: Promoters and suck lords of Microsoft.

Notice in Microsoft's articles they go as far as to "simply quote" sayings, leaving the discussion up to the userbase, at times to create a "contrary" statement to conclude a flipside as to why their ideas may be good.

On GS, with Sony and Nintendo: Create Thematic assumptions and outright "HARSH" quotes from analysts / editors. Gamespot fails to quote from a few editors who've called the Xbone a joke and that their conference was a disgrace. GS even goes as far as to BAN youtube videos to prevent that hilarious 1.5 minute highlight of the Xbone conference covering TV, SPORTS, and COD.

Leave it up to Wii U or PS4, and GS is quick to bandwagon. Again, GS. Bias.

Could he not just say his first ox teddy was called xb, so he bought a domain XbOxOne.com in it's memory

now MS is going to bully an resident for their domain........the **** MS.

i would understand if that just happened, but come on, it has 2 years with them, the ****.

Please, owner of those domains, contact sony and nintendo to see their offer =D

Also i'd love to see www.xboxone.com become a tv streaming website.

xboxone.ass

I want the domain XBOX1ANDDONE.COM

Wowzers there's a lot of kiddies with no idea about the legal situation here. Imagine if you will, that you have a unique name. Of the 6.7 billion people in the world, no-one else has yours. You grow up and decide that you want to be a freelance something, so decide to go register a website in your name for it. Unfortunately, someone already has that site. They aren't using it, they have no reason to have it, and yet there they are just casually sitting on it waiting for you to do something about it. Do you think it's fair that they own the domain (by the way, they've bought the rights to the domain years ago for $5, and have parked it for free ever since)? Or do you think that given it is your name and your name alone, you should be able to use it and shouldn't have to pay some git extortionate amounts to take it off him because he knows you want it? Cybersquatting is ridiculous, and while it may not be illegal in the sense that you can't go to jail for doing it, it is against the spirit of the ICANN rules, and so MS are completely within their rights to reclaim the names. Oh, and just so you know, if the above situation were to occur, where someone owned your unique name's domain rights, ICANN would give it to you too. They don't just help out big corporations, they help out ANYONE with a legitimate claim to a domain that's being held by someone who has no intention to use it.

They would have been smart IMO to pick these up earlier when they were nothing. Xbox One could have been anything related to xbox, I doubt anyone would have even guessed it was their console name. Now hopefully whoever owns the domains now will get a fair chunk of change from them.

What Microsoft doesn't realize is that the fact alone you are promoting the Xbox One is punishment enough.

they should be more concerned with the content of Xbone.com. I'm pretty sure that's pornography

hey that guy paid for them 2 years ago so they are his MS should pay him to use them if they want them

So someone snatched the domain name. Lots of people do this on purpose to scam some cash out of big companies.

It's obvious no one just came up with the name "darkknightrisesmovie.com" out of nowhere.

It's a sleazy tactic but a legal one. So they get paid and that's it. It's the way it's always been. No one whines about it.

And yet xboxone.com? That's the one you decide to start throwing lawyers at?

The one name it's perfectly possible some (unfortunate) dude came up with, because, you know, that's what we've been calling your original Xbox all the time... That's where you draw the line?

I hope the guy gets a juicy settlement out of this.

This is shameful of Microsoft. That could easily pay him and it's not like he predicted what they were going to call it and has stolen their name.
