Your original is still there just with the notes for someone that wants the newest edition mind ot it.Nor would I. I don't get DDI now much like I don't subscribe here. When I purchase something I want it as a whole, weather it's a PDF or a hardcopy. Now if they were requiring a DDI Subscription to access a storefront that allowed the purchase of a PDF or Print On Demand, that I could understand and get behind.Same here.Because the business model is still push as much towards the current edition as possible even when selling the prior edition stuff.You have sound points but I counteract it with this:When you subscribe you expect regular updates with the purchase.Hence, Enworld's giveaways etc, or DDI Updates.Are they going to seriousily update a prior edition of D&D?  I think we can all agree that isn't going to happen.Dream:They have hardcovers available, this could even be in collector sets.(i.e. The Core PHB/DMG/MMI as a single book.  Groups of modules as single hardcovers. etc.)Includes it's own Character Builder, etc.  (Like I said before that would gurantee my own subscription.)Hope for at least:PDF's with Print on Demand Options for all older material.Acceptable:Purchases have to be made behind DDI Subscription.  Their own little Pirate Control.  It's a headache but livable.Unacceptable:Subscribe to use.If that's the case, I'll just stick to my bad scans and material already on the shelf in my home.-----------------------------------------Other:Someone mentioned how the WotC folks couldn't understand how a D&D Fan couldn't also have to be a WotC Fan.It's easy to surmise.The game itself never left us.  Yes in our eyes, WotC did save D&D from being a footnote on the logs of history.But that doesn't mean since it's 'saving' that WotC didn't morph into something we didn't like.I'm very much a D&D fan.  Just the direction they(WotC) took in recent years, had me parting ways and joining ranks of 'grognards'.  I didn't even go with the Pathfinger, I just simply looked and said I have enough to last me and groups to play with that were of a similar vein.It's really that simple.I was still a WotC customer, buying a PDF here and there.  Even to buying the Star Wars SE along with miniatures for both D&D and Star Wars.But each of those are now discontinued.So I ended up joining the ranks of former WotC customers.All my current purchases are on the secondary markets.WotC can have me as a fan and customer again the bridge wasn't burned, but it is in a state of disrepair that I don't really feel like driving over.[/QUOTE]
