[QUOTE="D'karr, post: 6270239, member: 336"] Inflation calculators don't even figure in my "customer buying" decision. I make a heck of a lot more today than I did in 2000 with 3e, and even more than I made in 2008 with 4e. At $50 this really tips the scales of value for me. When I first bought 4e I purchased the combined boxed set (phb, dmg, mm) from Amazon and that was deeply discounted so it was about $60. At approx $20 a book I was in the market, and it was a great value. At $30 a book I might have grudgingly been in the market. Any higher than that and they would have lost me as a customer. The 3e FRCS at $40 dollars was my limit at the time and that book, IMO, would have been a fantastic value even at $50. Years later I purchase Ptolus because I also saw a value there, even at $100. I had played 4e at DDXP and had continued to run it for my group using a copy of the existing playtest rules. Even though I really enjoyed the game and continued to run 4e, even without the rules. At a price point as what they are advertising now I'm sure I would not have bought it. And I was way more enthusiastic of 4e at that time than I've been for 5e since the announcement. The 5e PHB is going to have to be absolutely fabulous for me to even consider buying it at that price, and there is no chance that I will purchase it sight-unseen. [/QUOTE]
