Original covers online: $96. This set: $170. It is hard to justify spending that much for something we already have, or could get much cheaper with the normal covers.

Every other company does a special edition and charges 150% for said books. Often just with a variant cover.
Which are typically only available on the publisher’s online stores.
WotC charges the MSRP and lets you buy them at FLGS where you don’t have to pay for shipping. And people flip out because they can’t buy them at Amazon discounted prices.

If you pull up a chapter on your desktop PC you can “print” as a PDF, saving a Beyond file. Nice and quick.
I was curious about the errata as I've bought a second PHB that says it includes revisions, 3 in my local FLGS said the same, first printing but includes revisions...but all still have the 4th bullet in the dungeon delver feat. What printing should I be looking for for this normal PHB?
Im almost ready to order these for the errata and covers being a cool secondary bonus. My books are still in great shape 3+ years later.

To see which print run it is you have to look at the code underneath the print info; "9 8 7 6 5 4 ..." every print run they remove one number.
Thanks!
The title of the item pretty much explains it: This makes a great gift if you know someone who plays D&D and you don't want to get them a gift card or sweater. They will love it and it will be their favorite gift at christmas. It isn't really something someone who already owns the stuff and plays regularly needs to buy. Don't buy it for yourself, just hint to your secret santa you'd love it.

That's just cuz as you get older you hallucinate more!
Uh, wake up yourself?!?! PDF is OLD technology, and though it will never be obsolete, it is archaic and barely functional.
As has been stated, there are much better digital formats than PDF, and 5E is available in several of them with DDB, Fantasy Grounds and Roll 20.
Make whatever excuses you want, but don't expect people who pay attention to what actually is possible to be sympathetic to your gripes.

It offers things PDFs do not, but it doesn't fill the need that PDFs fill. It's a proprietary service to which you subscribe, and that require you to be online. A PDF would be a book, in electronic format, that you can read on whatever device you want. What's more, as with the physical book, you buy it, and then you have it; no need to pay for a regular subscription on top of what you've paid to get the book in the first place.
The existence of D&D Beyond does nothing to reduce the need for PDFs. It's a whole different thing.
