I don't think most of you can see the potential in a subscription model for mods. I love the idea if I try something and it works out for my site I buy the mod and if not I lost a few bucks. A win win as I see it. Right now I'm in the market for a point system for my site. There are a few different vendors with a point system. How would I know which one will work out for me? So I would like to give them both a test run and ask my members which works best for them. After spending a few bucks on each see more for a month I would let my members vote on which they would like to see implemented in my site. Plus if you read the email right its like rent to own so if I can not pay upfront for all of the mods that goes with my point system I would have the option of paying a little bit at a time. Yes in the end like with anything you rent to own or finance it will be a little more expensive but for someone like myself I'm able to pay a few bucks a month for a mod instead of forking over $400.00 (estimate for the point system mod and all of the other point feature mods that goes along with it = $70.00 points, $40.00 gifts for points,$30.00 store points, $40.00 paid media points)to name a few and the list goes on and on.

And even if you figure out which Points system module is the best, you still won't know which one is going to be the best in 3 years time. Or which one would even be working with the new DolphinPro.

As for rent-to-own, i think this may or may not be a good option for different cases. Some products would have to be paid for continuously (we expect even things like "maintenance service" or "media server hosting" to be offered), while some may well become "owned" after see more a while. I think it should be an option for vendor to choose and offer as part of the deal.
