[QUOTE="Vigilance, post: 3897038, member: 4275"] Because I want the new thing! You're still looking at this from a financial cost benefit angle, and I'm looking at it from a "want" angle. This is a total luxury item. Any game is. The "value" of Final Fantasy XII had nothing to do with how happy I was playing FF X. I love FF X and replay that game about once a year. But I still wanted FF XII. Um, we're talking about a luxury item here. Your 3e books were a "waste" of money too. You never, ever needed them. You wanted them, because they would entertain you. I wanted them too, and I also want the 4e books. While price does enter into it, only loosely. If the books are 40 bucks, I can afford them. Maybe not all at once, but 40 bucks is in the range that I can afford. Dude, I'm a freelance writer.
