I will buy the core three books (or whatever the equivalent format will be), right away. I am unlikely to buy anything after that (based on the way things appear to be heading).
Nobody, but with current market for a 300+ page glossy hardcover, $40 is about the standard price. 3 books, x $40...Who on earth said anything about $120 for the core rulebooks?

Core will probably be cheaper, though, potentially as a loss leader, and likely in a box set.

3 is the minimum for Core + Standard + Advanced. On the assumption that "core" will literally be one book and necessary for the game.Who said it will be three books?

It may in fact be more - Standard PHB, Advanced DMG, Monster Manuals, etc. Thinking about it, I'm almost certain it'd have to be more, because I don't see this edition starting without a full monster book with all the monster stuff they've been pushing on the site.
The book breakdown is all guesswork now, as is the price, but I think it's fair to say we're in for at least 3 books for Advanced.
