domain sonyplaystation-4.com ?

[orut08]

Im new to this domain business, but this is one of my first purchases. Any appraisals or advice is greatly appreciated thanks.

The hyphen kills it, it will get little type in traffic because of that - most people would try 'sonyplaystation4.com'. Yes there is a 99.9% chance there will be another Playstation but i would be surprised if they call it the 'playstation 4' - they will probably think of a new name for it.

My appraisal: Reg fee right now.

Suggestion: Keep hold for a few years, develop into a website with news about the new play station if and when it comes out.

Problems: Both 'Sony' and 'PlayStation' are trademarks of Sony ltd, you may get some trouble...

hmmm....trouble as in having the domain name, trouble in creating a website, or both? Should I just get rid of it now before I dig myself into a hole?

Get rid of it. The hyphen has nothing to do with it...it's all about the trademark issues. No knowledgeable domainer would buy it from you, and the only way Sony would end up with it would be to remove it from your possession via legal means.

Thanks for the input. Like I said earlier, I am just getting into this, and I am beginning to read all of sticky topics at the top of all the threads and I am def. learning from my mistakes. Im a college student and legal problems is that last thing I want to get into.

Serious TM issues, worthless. Drop & get a refund if possible.

I agree.. has obvious TM issues.. my advice is to get a generic domain dealing with gaming and/or don't draw attention to yourself by posting such a domain in an appraisal section where it will get Googled.

Fair enough, but I dont like them. Obviously with good premium words the value is still there.
