And while I believe that, since they were making money on the core books at the $20 price, they should have left it there -- prices are set based upon percieved supply and demand. As long as the books sell at the price they are set to, then staying the same or raising the price are the only reasonable options.If this were 1979, I would agree. If this were 1985, I would agree. Hell, if this were 1992, I might even agree then too. But this is 2003. This is the age of the internet, instant feedback, mass debate and world-wide global universal communications. The amount of feedback -- positive and negative -- that WotC has recieved in the last three years is not even something I want to speculate on. But, it was enough that they were willing to put the entire RPG division on this project long enough to get a complete revision done.Is it too soon? That is subjective. But if the books sell, then no -- it was not too soon. Is every three years too much? Probably. But then again, I would be willing to entertain a new edition of StarWars already, given the level of inconsitancy in those books...Where are you getting your information? You, as far as I am aware, are not privy to the internal workings of WotC; thus, you are speculating. You may or may not be right... but without having proof, I would say that this is an unfair statement.The errors in the first printing of 3.0 were minor enough that I consider (in my opinion) your assessment of 'wisening up' to be a bit premature. And buy or don't buy. But if you buy, you are voting (with your money) for WotC to consider this a good move -- three years later to issue a new revised edition. If you are really thinking it is too soon, then do not buy them, and just use the revised SRD combined with the Backwards compatability Guide... and go from there.</blockquote>
