D&D 3E/3.5 3.5 errrata included in core books since when?

[Durifern]

Someone mentioned that recently sold copies of the core rulebooks have the errata included. We´d like to make the final change to 3.5 rules by buying the books but I wanna be sure we´ll get some of the new print run. Are there any ways to verify this without thumbing through the books? Serial number etc...

Yeah, I think it says "January Printing" or something.

Sorry, according to Thalmin in an earlier thread:

"First Printing: July 2003, Special Edition October 2004."

Thanks!
Seems like Moulin Rouge had/has the same problem: when ordering online it´s possible you end up with the first printing. Have to check the bookstores...

Sorry to say, as far as I know, the updated PHB is not in the gift set.

The latest printing of the PHB incorporates the 3.5 errata but I haven't heard anything about the DMG and MM being reprinted.

Well other than the Special Edition DMG coming out Fall 2005 (Oct?)

They better correct the 3.5e DMG SE or the entire community will have a fit.

I'm guessing based on the pattern of the two, we'll see a 3.5e MM SE in Fall 2006?

(Let's hope they don't do XPH SE in 2007.)

Likely, they want to get rid of the old stock first. I'd guess most places would do this.

If they even have the revised books in stock. Why order more if you still have some (the older books) in stock? It was not widely known that the corrections were in the current printing.
