Here's something to consider if some of you might be on the fence or just want to check it out without an investment: every April and October they have a fan-run virtual convention called FG Con. During that weekend SmiteWorks sets all Standard License GMs to Ultimate License whether they're running an FG Con event or not.
So you can be a player for a Pathfinder (or any other ruleset for that matter) game during FG Con just using the free demo, since all GMs are able to host free players that weekend.
All 3 FG Cons I've played in so far easily had enough PFS (and coming soon, SFS) to get official Paizo support, boons and all that, plus Jesse pops over to moderate the competitive group dungeon.
