Inflation has been pretty wild these last few years!RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE
So, the new price for D&D books going into the revisions is $60. So it will cost $180 MSRP to get all three core books as of next February.
With inflation, the 2014 MSRP would be $65 per core book, so a complete three book set in 2014 was $195 in today's money.
It's interesting that the cost of the core game has remained relatively static, adjusted for inflation, across all these years, even as production quality has gone up. And it's also good, despite the sticker shock of the new price, that WotC have actually gone for a below-inflation increase this time.
And, despite all that, core rulebooks are absurdly good value at almost any cost (assuming they're for a game you'll actually play, of course).
