This is very high on the list of reasons why sites lose my interest in the next second.

For websites which are trying to sell me something, I want to know whatever they want to tell me about the item I may want to buy, and then maybe I may be interested in reading their company philosophy, way they like to do business etc etc. But if they try to harvest my email before showing me anything else, I'm staying if and only if I'm extremely interested already. If on next page they try to harvest my name, phone and address - I'm not only gone, I'm gone forever (i.e. I've blacklisted their website in my firewall).

The worst of such sites, IMO, are the music and/or movie download subscription sites. I've tried a few of these just to see what they have, an equivalent of watching a shop window. But no, the window is behind curtains, you have to register first, and then you can see what they offer. Imagine a regular brick-and-mortar shop not allowing you to take a cart before submitting a picture ID into a scanner.

Note that this doesn't apply to FoxTalk - heck, you can even download a sample issue, so you see what you're getting. Still, showing the price in advance would be nice.
