I have to say that I will NOT be buying any new editions of D&D.
This is Hasbro getting their fingers into WotC. These books contain the same art and most of the material hasn't been changed. They already knew they were going to release this before they printed 3E to begin with. So this is just a blatant money grab on their part. They are now part of a large multinational company and it shows. Personally, I think we all ought to just let all the 3.5 books rot on the shelves. I know there are many people who haven't converted from AD&D to 2nd Ed yet. If you are happy with the materials you have then stay with them.

Now having said all that...I know they are a company and their goal is to make money. Fine. I think they are going about it in completely the wrong way. It would be nice if they would just put out a free or minimally priced booklet revision and call it good, then devote their efforts to supporting the materials they already have on the shelves.
