I don't have room in my gaming budget for this product, though some board game geek friends are excited about this.
I think the booster idea is cool and interesting. It reminds me of the Magic: the Gathering card Booster Tutor.
WotC reps are on the record as saying there is really no point in trying to "collect a set" of the cards, the game is fully playable and enjoyable without them, and that the idea is you have a booster you open at the table when the time is right. Sounds OK to me.
I think they, and the 2011 product line full of boxed sets full of bits, are mostly a response to FLGSs complaints that no one buys 4E books since you can get the full experience from DDI. The boosters are just a little extra thing that you can only get the full value from if you buy them at your FLGS. Yeah, you can proxy, but it's not the same as having the nicely printed card to shuffle up of foil pack to rip open.
