Where's the Errata?

Back in early May, we heard that there was going to be a big push for errata (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=196010).

Then, in early August, we got errata to some minor releases (Drow of the Underdark and Expedition to the Demonweb Pits) that only appeared as a special article on WotC's site. Still no update to the errata page, but we were assured that more errata would be comming out quarterly for major releases like the Spell Compendium, PHB2, and Bo9S (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=202969).

Then, in late August, we were told that errata for the MIC would be coming out in October (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=204784).

Well, now it's October, and I'm looking at WotC's errata page (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/errata). Still no updates since June 2006. Not even links to the two small pieces of errata that they released. I understand that it's still early in October, but I've been strung along here for five months, and I'm tired of waiting.

I want to believe that the major errata push is coming. Does anyone have any updates on it to share?

The errata push is coming.

Only it's for 4e.

I hope not. According to WotC:

When we release errata, it will always be free.

Now, if they could just explain how the stealth errata in Complete Psionics and the Spell Compendium fits into that statement, it might convince a few more people that it's true.

Unfortunately, I have to agree with the general replies you've gotten so far. Web enhancements and online errata for individual 3.5e products are likely a thing of the past. I would like to hope otherwise, but from what I've seen so far, we're old news.

Now that they are concentrating on 4e, the chance of seeing any major errata for 3.5 products is pretty much nil. Showing us errata for anything but the latest products has always been hard for WotC, which I find baffling. Steve Jackson Games, a much smaller company with a very large product base, has errata available for everything they have ever printed. The best thing is, if you find errata for an old product and submit it to them, they add it to the list. It doesn't matter how old it is. Wish we could say the same for WotC. It is one aspect of being a publisher where they are completely lax and, I feel, uncaring.

I too would like to subscribe get some news about this. Actually, I could live with just getting the errata. That would be good.

You might have more luck reading John Cooper reviews -

I doubt there will be any WotC errata or additions to the SRD pre-4E at this point.

Yeah but how long have they been working on 4e in secret? It wasn't like when they announced it at GenCon they all went home afterwards, got a piece of loose-leaf paper and wrote "Fourth Edition" across the top.
4E has been in the works for awhile. Probably since June 2006 when the errata started to stop coming out, if not earlier. But still, why string people along? I remember reading those strange posts about "errata strategy"... whatever that is. And how all the errata would be coming in clumps really soon.
