Core Rules PDF's errata'd yet?

[JoeGKushner]

So now that we've seen some claims that the leather bound deluxe versions are getting errata put into them, has anyone received any news of the PDF's from Drivethru being updated?

I haven't heard anything. I bought the PHB and MM on RPGNow, so I am pretty interested in making sure I get regular updates, since I didn't get the "price of a cup of coffee" deal they talked about.

Please e-mail customer service and ask them directly. The more of us that do so the more chance of something actually happening.

The PDFs will be updated with errata around the time the Special edition core books come out.

The standard print core books will see it on their next reprint and that date depends on the rate of inventory movement.

Actually don't do this, all those emails take away from other questions they need to answer and/or end up getting forwarded to my inbox.

We are aware of the need for an update and will make sure it happens in the next few weeks.

Thanks Scott!

Though admittedly, I am still bummed that the cheap PDF for print copy buyers never came to fruition.

Updated print runs, and updated PDFs? Nice.

Have the realms books and other releases hit PDF? I haven't been checking. If digital releases aren't too far behind physical ones, I might convert to digital coppies only. Assuming the eratta updates are free on those.

It didn't happen because it was dependent on putting a code in the physical books to be redeemed, which can easily be stolen by someone looking through the book. It was replaced with the D&D Compendium.

Yep.

Seems like the pdfs hit the digital shelves same day the physical book is released. (if not the day after.)

Scott, the need isn't for "an update". It's for a commitment to continuing regular and timely updates as errata are released.

That's the big value-add the PDF versions can offer to someone who already owns a copy of the content in paper books. Since the price-of-a-coffee-more plan was dropped, this is important.
