Hmmm... My feeling back then was that 1st, 2nd, and 3rd edition CoC changed basically only in layout and in the sort of additional material they included.  I never considered buying a newer edition just because a newer one had came out.  I didn't really even think there was much intention of getting me to do so.  I just figured that they needed to do another print run, correct some typos, and had some ideas about what they thought might improve the layout and visual attractiveness of the game to bring new players in.I largely had the same feelings about GURPS and any other game that changed only marginally between editions.  In fact, while I generally disparage 3.5 as inferior in most regards to 3.0 (in various petty ways), I feel pretty much the same about 3.5.  Certainly, I didn't feel compelled to buy the 'new edition' of the game just because they printed one.</blockquote>
