Will I pay it? Probably, if there's something I really want behind it. But most of the perks are things that didn't cost anything already, and they state there's no guarantee to be able to purchase the exclusives, so you're just ahead of the non-members when the preorders kick off, but still all trying to get through the same door at once.
End of the day, it's your $10. if having a toe in the door helps when ordering, then it's probably worth it.

BUT BUT BUT........................FOMO!!!!!!!!!!
I think the smartest thing they did was keep it cheap. Like you said it is just $10(US). It is an easy throw away for a year if someone is interested in the product.
I'm a Pulse Premium member an it was $83Cdn to renew last week. I mean that is about $10Cdn more than the current exchange rate, but of course that comes with using a credit card.
It will probably be my last year as a Pulse Premium member unless there is something I really want because they seem to be phasing out Haslabs more and more. So the big savings on shipping will be gone eventually and that leaves just big discounts during their sales and exclusive early access. Both of which are a tough sell at $50US.
So yeah the Club Graksull deal is okay in comparison, but there isn't much there right now.
