[QUOTE="timbannock, post: 4763708, member: 17913"] I don't know if a majority will follow this route as time goes on, but I definitely see it becoming more and more common. Personally, I DM 9 times out of 10, and on a limited budget, I decided that DDI would be my source for crunch, so the only things I will purchase will be stuff that I need as a DM: adventures for storyline, setting books for fluff, and any monster books that aren't WOTC made (because the monsters obviously won't end up in the Compendium if they aren't WOTC monsters). Cutting out purchases like "Setting X Player's Guide", PHB2+, Monster Manual 2+, Draconomicon, and all that really saves me some $$$ If I were a player, I'd probably only buy the books that I know I'd reference the powers/items of often: for me, I like Martial characters so PHB, Martial Power and PHB2 would be must-haves, but the rest I could leave to DDI for the info I *might* use out of them.
