[QUOTE="delericho, post: 6270782, member: 22424"] Okay, fair enough. The calculator I linked does likewise. But, yeah, the 3.0e PHB was $30 after the first printing, not $35. :) True, although it depends very much on the status of the DMG (or, indeed, the cost of the DMG/MM) - the Pathfinder GMG is very definitely an optional book, with the CR doing double duty as PHB/DMG for Pathfinder. So if the 5e DMG is strictly optional then 5e might well come out ahead in the comparison. But if 5e is marked and marketed as 'core' (and especially if it contains the equivalent of "Page 42") then it is unlikely. But, as you said in another post, WotC are charging what they believe the market will bear, and they're almost certainly right. I find the B&N price fairly eye-watering, but they obviously think that's the 'right' price for what they're presenting. [/QUOTE]
