The same thing could happen here I think the only thing that would overcome the initial perceived value is to have super super high quality content with a fantastic presentation.

EDIT: The fact remains though that the price point is not the major barrier of entry for consumers in the online adult space... it's the part where they actually have to whip out their wallet, regardless of price.
this is what i believe happened to Adult.com's versions of $9.95 sites.

not sure if they are even still running them though.
