How many of us would purchase that DDI subscription that WotC wants us to be in? I would.2. The Limited Release would prevent what happened with the Character Builder single month downloader subscribers.3. With the monthly change, the OOP crowd is continuing to come to the site each month to do a Print On Demand or Download.That leads them to continue to look around and see what else is available.4. DDI Articles, a whole new line of material opens up.  Recommendations for converting that month's offerings to the current edition.  Because we know deep down WotC would love us on the current edition no matter if it's 4th or if it's 8th edition at the time.Really the only negatives from my prespective as a former WotC product purchaser(RPG/Minis), is that I would have to subscribe for a length of time to see all my old beloved games.And that's not even that big of a negative.</blockquote>
