    No, not interested because the most important keywords (keywords i want) are not available.

    For $360, you will not be seeing a lot of private/small business owners buying these. That's just a ridiculous & astronomical price for a domain, hopefully they'll come to their senses and lower the price, like .fm did.

    It is only $360 in the 'landrush' period (September 1st 2009 - October 31st 2009) when people pay extra to try and grab 'good' keyword domains. The price will come down to $50 in November.

    Yup, you know how it is though, after landrush, nothing worth buying will be left. Also, is this one of those ccTLDs that requires you to live in the country of the extension?

    360 for a new extension for reselling purpose isnt a very good investment

    The only way I'd EVER consider spending that much money is if it were an awesome domain like travel.mx or hotels.mx

    The best domains all seem to be taken, and I'm reluctant to pay so much for a sub-par domain from the ones that are left :)

    heck no. .com is it.
    anything else is niche.

    as far as resale goes at least.
    if you are developing - then it doesn't matter.

    I totally agree - I'm seeing .tv advertised quite a bit for television shows & TV studio sites

    Nah..I'll never spend my money to this new tld, since it more worth to spend that money on seo development.

    Absolutely not, that is way too much. You can get a decent VPS for a whole year at the same price.

    I would never spend $360/year on regging names on a ccTLD. The most I've spent is $60/year on some ccTLDs to make domain hacks.
