PHB special edition has corrected errata?

[jmucchiello]

i still say errata and a nice cover is not worth $75.

I'd say who want to carry a $75 book back and forth to game no matter who much errata it has?

"How is this errata'd?"
"Don't TOUCH my book!!!!"
"I just want to see if they fixed..."
"I don't care. You're not getting your grubby mits on my book."
"I'll use the tongs with rubber grips."
"I said 'No'."

Fortunately, you can buy it for much less than $75 at all the on-line stores I frequent.

"I said 'No'."

I was just stating I hope it looks nice.

Don't you understand?!? It's COLLECTABLE!! Er..

Sorry Comic Book collecting flash back.

"I need bigger polybags!!"

At $75.00, it is certainly not something that everyone will want to own. It is meant to be a collectible book that will sit on your shelf (worship optional) and be something to hand to your children.

Having said that, I plan to take my copy to the cons and get the autographs of everyone involved with it. But I am a bit of a geek in that regard...

hmm, well then i might reconsider... but since i don't have money coming out of my ears, i'd have to find a pretty good deal.

Ooh - I like that idea!

Personally, I'd just buy the Mongoose Pocket PHB instead.

I hear it is also handy for when nature calls and there isn't any restroom nearby.

Unless you keep a toilet tissue roll in your pocket.

As for the leatherbound PHB, I don't mind having it, despite my aversion to collecter's edition RPG books in general. Of course, it will never leave my home.

Well, I don't know what that reviewer is on, but I can definately say with 100% certainty that the Special Edition Player's Handbook does indeed contain errata. It even says so on WotC's page here and here.

Which, of course, doesn't answer the question, really--they keep saying it "has errata" and i *still* don't know whether that's because they have an illiterate ad-monkey who is actually trying to say that the errata has been corrected, or they are "reassuring" fans that it is unchanged from the current printing of the PH (which is known to contain errata). So, somebody who's actually got a copy wanna take a look for one of the bits of errata from the regular printing, and either confirm or refute that it is still present in the special edition? [sorry to get a bit rant-y, but "errata" are errors, not corrections--get a dictionary, WotC.]
