YES! Send me a free issue of Seed.
If I like what I see, I'll receive 5 more issues (6 in all) for just $14.95. That's 50% off the cover price! If I'm not completely satisfied, I'll simply write "cancel" on the invoice and owe nothing. The free issue is mine to keep.

My first thought was the same as Attila's: how will JoVE (free) work with Wiley-Blackwell (toll access)?
(I feel a particular venom towards W-B, because my institution does not take any of their subscriptions so every time I turn up a reference to one of their journals, I cannot read it without paying USD30 or so and am reminded how much I hate the current publishing model. Moshe apparently also has a deal with Annu Rev, and they piss me off for the same reason.)
In an update, Attila reports that Moshe says the protocols will be co-published, that is, freely available on JoVE. That is good news, and I look forward to seeing how it will be achieved technically -- will there be direct links? How much of the protocol will be in the video -- that is, what need will remain for the costly print version?

As I comment in my blog I think this is a great opportunity for the expansion and enriching of content available in publications in the new digital publishing age. I don't think JoVE is propossing they are peer-reviewed, but I pose the question - should video publications be peer reviewed?
