[QUOTE="Steel_Wind, post: 6363124, member: 20741"] You paid too much then. I bought mine on Indigo as well at the price of $28.50 or so for the pre-order of each of the PHB, MM and DMG. Indigo's online price was actually the cheapest source for the 5E game in either Canada or the USA. That's pretty unusual as Indigo tends to be more expensive and tends to gouge -- but in this case, it was actually the cheapest. [I]Hoard of the Dragon Queen[/I] and [I]The[/I] [I]Rise of Tiamat[/I] are both $21.94 each at Indigo as well. The point to take away is not that you cannot save money off of the retail price of these books by buying online. [I]Of course you can.[/I] You can also save on the price of Pathfinder in the same (or similar) manner. That is assuming you have a credit card or way of paying for these products online. Not everybody does and it limits your market. We can all search and find the cheaper price, so that the absolute price disparity between the two does not appear to be as cumulatively large. That doesn't change the fact that 5E is a significantly more expensive product than the competition. Does that price difference matter to me, subjectively? No. Not enough to deter me from buying it. But I'm not 16 with a part time job. I'm a lawyer in my late 40s. So that's not a fair comparison, either. [/QUOTE]
