There are still cheaper games out there that have just as much of an online discount that keeps them competitive in the value arena, so this new edition is still one of the more expensive table top games out there. The fact that WotC has yet to prove the value of that relative higher cost to any but those who are already 100% committed hasn't changed. It's still a pretty hefty price tag from a company whose last attempt was less than stellar. And that's still only for those that go to Amazon to buy their games; the base $50 price hasn't changed for anybody else. The idea that just because some online seller can mark it down that much does not negate the challenges WotC created for themselves with the base price being a bit much for the "buy sight unseen" reaction they probably wanted from those still sitting on the fence, even it does soften them a bit in that particular marketplace. The high base price is still something that a lot of people are going to be taking note of even if they don't immediately worry about it.</blockquote>
