[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 3977386, member: 115"] I can't speak for anyone else's point of view (obviously) but my first question isn't cost, it's cost/value ratio. If, and this is a big if, the quality of content of DDI, with regard to the digital magazines, over two months is the equivalent of a splatbook, I'd say it's worth it. The biggest hurdle for me is that we haven't seen any of that content... and based on the current state of the WotC website I can't give them that free pass. What I would like to see from WotC is after the core books come out, they should post a free sample of the digital magazine content that will be on DDI. Not the CharGen or other applications, but the actual new stuff. That way, I (and hopefully others) can at least make a semi-informed decision as to signing up. As an aside, what I'd really like to see is per-article pricing. That way if there are fifteen articles in the digital magazine section, and I want to see and use three of them, I spend maybe $3.75 or 4.50 (a discount for those that buy the whole thing). Also errata should [i]always[/i] be free... which is not what is implied on the info page here. I shouldn't even have to sign up for DDI to access that. But then, the issues with WotC and errata are a very different topic. [/QUOTE]
