It seems well in line with the middle class American income. I'm more curious as to what a digital offering would look like, if there is one. I would probably scoff at $150 for the three copies of the books as PDFs. That seems a bit excessive. I'd considered $20 or so a piece for digital offerings to be right on target (although I think at best it will be $35).I disliked the size and cost of the core pathfinder book, considering it was a basically an edited version of the SRD. But since they also put their PRD online, I think it's a wash in terms of cost ($50 core, $10 PDF, $0 PRD, average cost of $20 each for three different formats). I think most other gaming products are lacking the necessary material to be considered complete. I hate making NPCs and Monsters from scratch and getting books for those in other game systems is often times a long wait or never forthcoming. At least with D&D the books come quickly and are of high quality. We all judge those criteria different though, and thus put different amounts of value on products.I do wonder though, who their primary target audience is based on the price and book cover art. It feels to me a like like middle-aged American gamer, but I could be wrong and I haven't spent much time pondering it either.Anyway, $150 (less on amazon and various other retailers) isn't a big deal to me, but I appreciate those that don't have the budget for it and hope that an SRD/PDF version is available soon after release at a reduced cost for those that need access to it (myself included).Cheers.</blockquote>
