"Notably, this wonderful luxury will only require a $39.99 "enabling fee," but we've no doubt the hardcore recorders won't mind a bit."
I have no doubt that a lot of those "hard core" recording group would object to the fee on nickel & diming grounds.
I don't think it's a terrible price, have people that use the feature pay for it. A problem to consider is that it may also encourage makers to withhold features to sell them for an extra charge later.
You have to realize that this is somewhat groundbreaking in the grand scheme of things. This is exactly what users have been begging for for ages. Of course the fee isn't warranted, but to have the option to do it, I'd bet quite a few people just overlook it in their excitement to add more storage.
If this trend catches on, it will prove more difficult to "charge" for the "feature."
