[QUOTE="lkj, post: 8517301, member: 18646"] They put it up for pre-order on the date it became available for pre-order across digital platforms, as it's likely they are obligated to do. They are likely not authorized to announce how they are handling the updates. So they haven't announced how they are handling the updates. They know exactly what they are selling. A digital version of the book (that's true regardless of how it shows up in their rules listings). The rules for that book will show up in the listings. It's the same for all DDB books. What a customer who owns the previous products doesn't know is how valuable that book will be because your earlier purchases might result in still getting the updated copies in the listings. But apparently not this magical new dolphin if I'm reading right? Sounds like there's a little bit of new material? (way too little to justify a new purchase just to get it though, obviously, so irrelevant to the point) Dishonest? Seems like dishonest would be telling you it's the only way to get the info and that not being true. Ideally they'd be able to tell you what's going on and put it on the product page. I wish they were able to do that. But since they probably can't, I'm not paying for the pre-order till I know. Which is pretty easy. All that said, I see where you are coming from. I can wrap my mind around how you think that selling it without a disclaimer is tricking you into buying something you don't need. That seems like a stretch to me, but that's open to interpretation. Fair enough. In other words, I don't agree with your interpretation. I also have a very different opinion of the folks running DDB than you and how they've handled their business. But I'm obviously not going to change your mind. That's fine. But that's my two cents. AD [/QUOTE]
