Quote - You have to look at not only the cost of membership, but what you are saving in the process.  I save on almost every DAZ product that I purchase - it all adds up (and up and up).  No way am I giving up PC membership. :)

Yes, I know what you mean. But when after over 8 months of my yearly (and I was a PC member from Day 1) membership nothing - and I really do mean nothing I want lands... then I don't renew. The Hexagon deal is the first and only one that has ever had a "saving" like this. Ever. And I'm simply looking at this objectively: Is it something I want? I don't model. I'm really BAD at modelling. I have Shade 7 and I've touched it like... twice. The "Saving" suddenly looks to me like "Yeah, I'd buy it for $1.99 even on the offchance I never use it." But the cost is actually more like $30 to me - and that's a month's broadband. Being unemployed at the moment, I have to justify every penny and as much as I'd like to try it out... Newp. I'm going to end up passing this offer most likely, unless something dramatically changes. For new users PC is a good deal. For the old timers... it's not so, because very often - VERY often - there is nothing we actually want. The only thing that tempts me occasionally are the buildings, but the outfits, the hair, the characters and whatnot are leaving me completely cold these days. I was tempted by that abyssal queen outfit... for all of 3 seconds. (It's not PC anyway) I looked at the hair but all the hair I ever got from Daz I end up painting and fixing up the "dirt" in it, so I stopped buying it. I simply don't like the textures that come with it, 99.9% of the time. Sorry to the merchants who go to great lengths producing the models and textures, but... I'd rather pay $20 for something that is outstanding and which I use over and over, than $1.99 for something that I load up, use and kick out of my runtime forever. It's not just the textures, it's the lack of morphs in a lot of the clothing. (And no, I don't want to have to buy Wardrobe Wizard just to make something fit!!) Very often the stuff just simply doesn't FIT. If you use one dial that isn't in the mesh, you're usually screwed. And I never use a default V3 or any character for that matter. What's the point of having all those morphs if the clothing you try to put on them is restricting your use of those morphs??? Hence I don't buy it anymore. Yes, my expectations are high, which is why PC isn't for me anymore, because more often than not, the items simply didn't thrill me. "It's only 1.99!" I hear you cry, but 10x 1.99 is nearly $20 and if out of those 10 items I use NONE... then it simply is false economy to me. Instead I'll get things like MnD's items when I can afford some, I have a few earmarked which I'd like to have. Or AS's. Or Danae's Hair models which are very high standard and render beautifully and which I use over and over. More expensive... but I USE them. I can't even remember the last time I used a single PC item in anything. That's why - for me - it's not such good value. :)
