Ironic perhaps. I see it as a sign that they misjudged the sales trends of the current edition when planning the next one. They needed the novelty cash boost off the line and IP.

No, it's been known for years that sales of the current edition drop through the floor once the next edition is announced. They'd be losing money trying to sell more 4E stuff right now.

Absolutely agree. We've been talking about this for years.

I'm super excited about it. I've owned every edition of D&D except for Holmes and OD&D, so this is a must-buy for me. I'm pretty much a dedicated B/X DM/player these days, and I look forward to mining OD&D for cool stuff, especially demons et. al.

I don't have a problem with the price considering the apparent quality of the contents but I'm simply not interested in OD&D, per se. If I'm going to run OD&D then I'm going to use Swords & Wizardry which is both close enough and also it has actually been professionally edited.
