Yep, seems that this was done more often back in the day but I think it's still a good concept.
The way I usually set it up is similar to a tgp in that it's a bunch of thumbs on the mainpage, but instead of linking to a gallery they simply link to one bigger pic in the "free section", and then I also do a bunch of "premium thumbs" which either don't link to anything, or which link to the join page ... i.e., in order to see that full size pic/movie/etc you must be a member. But the free content and the teaser thumbs update daily/weekly tgp style.
Edit: I think this is also good for retention, because the user really does know exactly what they will get in the members section, and as soon as they signup they see those same "premium thumbs" or whatever that they knew they were paying to access ...
