Well, with this 4e being announced, I must say, it certainly has made me think about future purchases. IF anything, I will look for deals on 3/3.5 stuff, as someone mentioned before retailers will want to make room for new 4e crap. I will most likely pick up the FR hardback adventures that have been coming out still, but there is no way on God's green earth that I would ever pick up a festering piece of dung like the rules compendium. Why the heck did I buy all the rulebooks in the first place then, just to sell them at a later date for a loss? And to give money to the company who, not only is making my game of choice obsolete, but trying to sell the obsolete rules one more time during it's death rattle? I think not.
