Are the previous editions terrible? No! But the game evolves in fact it must evolve if the business of publishing it is to remain viable. 3.5 is a very good system. I enjoyed playing it, but now that I have played 4e, I won't likely go back. We have never said 3.5 sucks, as we have not said any other edition of D&D sucks but we certainly have said it is better. I think the distinction between "better" and "sucks" is huge.This is the 2nd ed of Exalted we're talking about here too.I'll concede this point. They are not holding a gun to anyone's head on this. The people that take advantage of the promo have likely made the determination that the PHB no longer holds value to them and thus is better traded in for something else that may. have more value.If it were me I would do it differently and just give away the book but ultimately it is their brand and company and they can do what ever they like.  I am just one guy with an opinion.</blockquote>
