My torrent-fu skills are weak, so I have been unable to locate said PDFs. Regardless, they woluld not affect my purchase of the physical books. PDFs are a convieniance, the books are what I need to run/play a game.

I've got the books preordered, but I downloaded the PDF to give myself more time to build a good adventure that's ready to play once my players have their PHBs. (Although I suspect that most of them have gotten the PDF by now...)

Edit: Seriously, if WotC had a version of this for their books... well, sign me up.

I don't really know how to put this completely politely. So I rephrased this a half-dozen times.
Set aside for a moment whether downloading PDFs is legal, illegal, moral, or immoral.
It's completely and totally crass to post about it on a board where the writers & designers read & post. "Hey, man! I know you hate it, but I downloaded that!! YAY!!"
It's like if your buddy started sleeping with your (now ex-)wife after a divorce. You know what's happening, but if he starts talking about it, it's tough not to punch him in the face.

Grabbed the PDFs, sorry if that disappoints any devs or anyone.
But for me, the fact of the matter is that I ordered the books months ago (already purchased and received H1) and would have bought them regardless. Even if I didn't like the look of 4E, I would have bought the core set and H1 just to give it all a fair shot.
As an aside, having the PDFs has made me feel confident about my purchase. As a result I also went and pre-ordered a couple of other books today, too.
But I'm a believer in using "free" as part of the business model. Maybe it doesn't 100% apply in this instance the same way free music would, but it does support the notion that producing a quality product will result in sales. I know now that I'll at least be trying out D&DI, where I wasn't 100% sure last week (that is of course unless my players decide to stick with 3.5).
How do we know that someone at WotC didn't leak the books on purpose with the explicit intent of driving sales UP? Sounds a little far-fetched, but crazier things have happened.

The PDFS didn't have much effect on my decision to cancel my Amazon preorder.
The 4E - Core Handbook Errors thread (http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=227743&page=10) that is already up to ten pages of problems and typos did.
I think I'm going to wait for a revised printing that clears up all the errors and mistakes before investing in 4E.
