Microsoft Goes After 'xboxone' Domain Names

If you haven't thought of it already, now might be a great time to go out and snag the domain name xboxtwo.com. Or, perhaps, it's not that good of an idea – Microsoft is currently disputing the ownership of the domain name related to the name of its recently announced, next-generation gaming console, the Xbox One.

Well, two domain names, actually – both xboxone.com andxboxone.net are registered to the same "Krasimir Ivanov" in London, and both registrations were created in late December of 2011. Which is to say, the alleged cyber-squatter (both sites point to parked domain messages at the time of this article's writing) was able to pull the name of Microsoft's newest console out of a hat years prior to its official announcement.
