CEA Tech Enthusiast Membership for Individuals

Michael, maybe I’m the only
Michael, maybe I’m the only one wondering why I would want to spend $29/year on this. The list of “benefits” just don’t seem worth it to me. Am I just not understanding the value?
Bullet #1 seems like something a “fanboy” would love, but I don’t see a real benefit to it. I can wait until somebody leaks the info or it’s announced.
#2 sounds nice, but paying $29 to possibly win something doesn’t sound all that appealing.
#3… I already have that right here at Missing Remote! LOL!
#4 also sounds nice, but, without any idea of whether the discounts are actually worth it, I’m not seeing the value.
I’m actually hoping it’s simply a matter of me not “getting it” and you can explain it to me. 😀

Everyone will put a different value to the “benefits”. For me I looked through the discounts and between 2 purchases that I plan on making I’ll save ~$45 so it justified the cost right there.
I’d like to purchase a new bedroom TV this year as well, if I do the Newegg discount would save me ~$140 since I think I’ll purchase a Samsung LED.
I think the real benefit to the readers is being able to go to CES.
I also love beta testing and if it gets me a few more opportunities I’ll be happy.

I joined as a gift from my wife for Christmas. She saw it and thought it would be great for me. I have been on the forums and looked at some of the benefits. They keep getting better.
I like the fact that you do get to go to CES with them as well. I have already booked my trip before even signing up for this but it is an added Benefit.
I have already sent my applications to the companies offing Beta Testing because that is always fun.
I agree with Michael Welter,
Everyone will put a different value to the “benefits”.
