The Character Builder alone is almost worth the price to me (and while I too can build characters by hand, I no longer want to). Consider that for $72 a year, you've got access to all the crunch from every D&D book published, to the Character Builder and Monster Builder (both updated monthly), to both online magazines, and to all the art and maps from those books and magazines (oh, and all the preview stuff, playtest stuff, and subscriber-only content).That's the same price as I might pay for about 4 trips to the movies, 5 CDs, or 5 months playing an MMO (stoopid Champions Online--now that's money I regret spending).And sure, sometimes I still buy the books, but that's because I like the books, not because I need them. Because I've already got the content. It was difficult, but I convinced myself not to buy Primal Power (for example), because it would all be waiting for me in the Character Builder the next time I built a character. And it is. And it works great for me that way.This is not to say that everyone MUST like the DDI, but if you play D&D, it's hard to argue that it's not a lot of bang for your buck. Plus, subscribing means that I'm supporting the people who produce a game that I love--and maybe that support helps ensure they can continue to produce it.It's pretty much the same reason I buy beer.</blockquote>
