You want to argue "want", I am talking about financial reality. $120 is a lot of money. Thats a reality. Especially with how much our economy is tanking. Food and gas is up a lot. Housing values are tanking. You can want the books all you want, but if your current game is playing just fine, but those trips to the gas station are putting a painful hole in your pocket, milk being 4 to 5 dollars per gallon, bread being 2 to 3 dollars per loaf, the financial reality is going to be no 4E unless the financial sacrifice is going to be worth it.You and I can want all we want. But if we NEED that $120 to reliably put food on our table, gas in our car, and to keep that roof over our heads, no ones going to buy a luxury item just because they want it.They are going to have to see a very perceivable value for their money, which is going to be much less likely to be present if the don't have a problem with what they already own.Heck, when it comes to luxury items I see several X-box games I would rather buy than 4E.Why? Because I have more "want" for them than I do a new RPG system, especially since I am happy with what I am playing right now and the people I am playing with.So as a luxury item 4E is way down on my want list, and I am sure its going to be way down on the want list of plenty of other gamers who are happy with 3E and in no hurry to blow $120 on 4E. There are plenty of other luxury items to blow it on that is higher on their priority lists.The fact that your so willing to buy into 4E pretty much just because you want it shows me your not in a tight money situation. I'll believe that when your like the people I know who go half a month with no money to their name and their car is running on fumes and prayers.</blockquote>
