Uhm, it's not really $1.99 if you aren't a PC member. For non PC members it's more like $30+ (joinup etc). If it were Carrara... I'd be signed up already. But I just don't model enough, nor do I have enough ability to model, to join to get something I probably wouldn't use. Which is kind of exactly why I dumped PC. There was just nothing I wanted for months on end and I just wasted cash I could have used to buy things (more expensive) that I actually did want. I probably had about $100 worth of vouchers expire while I was a PC member because either I had it already - or I didn't like what those $5 would buy me, or there was something I wanted, but I couldn't USE the $5 because it was brokered. It's a good deal for people who are just starting out in Poser. It's really crappy if you've been doing it for years and bought tons of stuff all over the place already, some of which later showed up in PC. If my $7.95 a month actually bought me something... ok fine. That's why I prefer Poserworld. I buy the subscription - and I can download whatever I want from there at no extra charge, as often as I need to. Oh yeah, 90% of the freebies that came with the yearly subscription... I'd bought previously either from Zygote or Daz. And whatever I didn't have... wasn't something I'd ever use. To top it off, the only stuff under $5 that you could use vouchers on to use them up... was often stuff that came as a freebie in the "Bonus" or stuff that would have cost me a bit on top of the $5. Paying on top of something that you don't really need, just to use up the voucher, kind of defeats the object of using the voucher. Hence 90% of them expired. So it's really not for me.
