A few months ago, Digital Tutors introduced their subscription based model. Instead of buying individual tutorials, you pay a fee to get access to all their material.
Not long ago, Gnomon Workshop followed suit. They have three tiers, Visual Effects only, Design only , or all tutorials. Pay a yearly fee and get access to all Visual Effects-tutorials, all Design-tutorials or all tutorials whatsoever.
The advantage with this that I can see is that you don't have to choose. As long as you are a subscriber, you have access to all tutorials and can take a look at them as the need arises.
The disadvantage is just that, it's only as long as you are a subscriber. Stop your subscription, and you lose all the tutorials again. Basically, you are paying for something that you can't keep.
(Of course, nothing is stopping you from taking notes etc, but sometimes it's just not the same thing).
One difference I can see between Digital Tutors and Gnomon is that you can get montly subscriptions for DT, while Gnomon only let's you subscribe on a yearly basis. This makes the step into DT a bit smoother, you can try it out for a month before commiting several 100 USD to the service for a yearly subscription.
