Re: ....hmm...sigh !!!
Just to clarify that Walmart only sells D&D books online. It is very unlikely they would ever sell them in their shops. Their online store does have good discounts though.
Are there no booksellers selling the D&D core books and other WotC products in the UK at a discount? (I think the EN World Store is
)

Unfortunately, we don't have "Wal-Mart" in the UK yet, even though they do own a big chain of supermarkets over here now, they don't sell the full range of stuff "Wal-Mart" does. Bummer !! even bigger "sigh" as I really liked shopping there when I lived in the USA.

I have to disagree with you here, mainly because of two flaws in your reasoning (at least, from my POV):
Your current core rulebooks have worked just fine for two years - there's nothing "wrong" with them. I would guess that you don't "need" the revised rulebooks to play your game, you merely "want" them - in which case I see no problem with paying for them.
Thet're going one better - if you don't want to buy the revised books, you can just download the revised SRD for free. Won't cost you a penny!
As you can no doubt see, I really don't see 3.5 as a big deal. If I'm honest, I'm barely interested in it - I only report news on it because it seems that others are interested.

Now, why didn't TSR thought of that when they underwent a rules revision (heh!) of the 2nd edition, which Wizards than carried that product line up until 3e?Hackenslash said:
Honestly, it is not feasible. Even game software versions (e.g., from Diablo to Diablo II) don't offer a discount to upgrade. Only Microsoft does that, and that's because their consumer base dwarfs Wizards of the Coast's D&D consumer base.
If you can't afford to buy the books when they come out, then don't buy the books until you get enough money. In fact, I'm not in any hurry nor anxious for the release of the revised rulebooks. I'll buy them when I can afford it. For now, or at least for July, I'll just download/acquire the FREE Backward Compatibility Guide plus the Revised System Reference Document as temporary "upgrade patches" to 3.5e.
