Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder - sell me

[Voadam]

Pathfinder will release at Gencon this year. I am curious...
What does pathfinder do that I don't already get from 3.5?
What are the improvements to 3.5?
How much will it be?
What type of support will it receive?

Sell me on the product!

Based on the Beta:

Condensed skill list.
Eliminates x4 skills for 1st level, replaces with +3 bonus for class skills, no double cost for non-class skills, makes skill point calculation math much simpler.
Rogue's sneak attack good against everybody instead of only half the monsters.
Spell changes, particularly to polymorph (broken up and grant specific bonuses/abilities) and save or die (generally level based damage or hold person style save each round).
free cantrips for spellcasters, wizards won't all carry crossbows for when they run out of spells.
Turning mechanics simplified doing damage and will save for turn.
Grapple, trip, disarm, etc. mechanics are unified, generally simplified, size differences minimized.
Hp boosts to bards, rogues, rangers, sorcerers, and wizards to match their BAB.
Increased level 1 hp.
New flavored powers for every class and filling out dead levels, with many gaining a small bump in power.
Races get a bump in power.
Multiclassing not a penalty, small bonus for taking favored class.
Turning = healing/damaging positive/negative energy affecting everybody in burst
Some magic item alterations for big six so they do other things as well.
More feats.
Skill feats give higher bonuses at higher levels.
