THIS Is The Pathfinder Playtest Rulebook!

The fact that they are selling and marketing hardcover books for a playtest... basically an alpha or beta version of the finished product, is a turn off for me. P.T. Barnum would be proud. WoTC released their playtest for 5e as free PDFs. There's a huge difference here.

I just find a physical copy easier to use. So.... Either I burn a lot of ink myself/pay to have it printed out & bound, or I spend less & pick up the soft cover at my local shop.

The books are in fact preorders, and the preorder closed on May 1... so you can't buy them anymore

My local chapter of Amazon still has it for pre-sale. Both Hardcover and Softcover versions.

Well there is a big difference with playtest methods. WoTC did a full blown test with multiple versions of the rules coming out, and you could see the changes over the course. Paizo tends to use the playttest as a fail safe: The product will probably be the same as the playtest, but if they messed up, then they can pull back and not launch a 4e (which had no playtest).
