I'm just letting you know that it's based on factually incorrect premises. Nor did I argue that it was impossible to get around paying full price. Of course there are ways around it. What I said is that it's impossible, in the current market, for the RPG companies themselves to lower the price from their end.I do not think it is factually incorrect.  It is a variety of factors, that I stated much earlier.  Price is a big one, use is a big one, and quality is a big one.  They all play a major role.  If the price is $30 and the quality is up there, then it might a good deal.  So far, mainly the cost of the product has been argued, indeed it should.  But there are also other considerations to take into account.  IS THE PRODUCT WORTH THE PRICE?  However, I still do feel it is justified charging such high prices for some of the items out there.  I have seen a HACKMASTER monster manual for monsters A-E or whatever, for about $20, it was softbound.  I do not play hackmaster, but $20 for an incredibly thin book?  Sorry, I know I am NOT the only one who feels this way.  My brother-in-law is an avid HACKMASTER player and they are not touching anything new because of the prices.  You give me quality, I will buy it.  As an example, I have bought GHOST RECON 3 times so far.  I feel the game is just that high quality.  But, my quality standard usually only goes so high, so I have to mix in the other factors as well.</blockquote>
