And it won't take many registrations to recoup the investment. They're charging $999 / year at least for pre-registrations. I clicked through to the price using godaddy and the $16.99 / year price quickly got replaced by the higher number which also indicated that $1000 was the yearly renewal price if one gets the domain through pre-registration. (Your money gets refunded if you don't get the domain.) I'm sure godaddy gets a decent portion of the $1k, but damn.
