Compromise. How about a series of video tutorials showing how to roll up a character, run a combat encounter, and so on?

Not a bad idea. As long as it's free, I will probably use it.

And while we are dreaming, how about a free electronic character generator (for both PCs and NPCs), available as a free download online.

1000 page player guide, 2500 page DMG and a ten volume hardcover set for the monsters.

NAH! I'd prefer the 128 pages for the total game route.
