From what Alex Huang and the CR dude (can't remember his name) on the Stox forums were saying as of yesterday, they assume TFPT will continue to provide free CR memberships at the current 5500 point level, but that ultimately it's up to FTP.   So those that earned just enough to get Stox for 3000 FTPs will have to put in a little more to continue to get CR for 5500, but otherwise it doesn't appear to be a bad deal (I've been earning enough to get both anyway, so not a biggie for me personally).

My greater concern is what content and coaches will move over. CR has typically catered to medium/high stakes players, so Stox was more suited for those of us grinding it out at micro/low stakes.  From what they're saying, not all content will be transferred over, nor most likely will all coaches, so they're not yet certain how well the micro/low games will be represented there.

So if you've got Stox now and want to stock up on videos from your favorite coaches, I'd recommend using a utility or browser plugin like DownloadHelper to grab the streaming Flash videos while you can.  I've been doing this instead of the Windows Media videos for awhile now, because their sucky DRM doesn't work on my main PC no matter what I try.  And now they're saying the Stox DRM on the WMV videos won't work for CR so you'd have to download them all again anyway.  There is no DRM on the Flash vids and they're the same quality.
