I'm a little surprised this was a controversial move. For PC Club members, it makes little difference whether an item resides forever in the club or is only there for a month. Either way, it only costs $1.99 and, barring a deluge of limited time items (which is highly unlikely), should be readily affordable and bought within the time period. Anybody who cannot afford a $1.99 model probably won't be paying the $7.95/month club fee. About the only complaint I can imagine would be from somebody who is not currently a member because they can no longer join whenever they want and get everything in the club that was offered to members from day one. Frankly, I felt a little guilty getting all the PC Club stuff I got when I joined because I got in at a lower rate and bought a lot of stuff for $0.99 while it was on sale. I may have to drop out of the club because of my finances. It doesn't bother me that I will miss out on some time limited models (well, okay, I'll be a little unhappy that I miss them). There isn't any reason to feel as if I am entitled to every single model that regular members are paying for if I quit and rejoin a year from now.
