Cheap, cheap!:
What an amazing deal, I recieved all 3 new core books for the price of 2!
I've gamed for a long time. I played some basic box set, first, second and 3.x edition. The new players handbook is quite a departure from the last edition. It offers a whole lot more than before, but it feels like the old basic Dungeons and Dragons from ages ago.

wonderful updates:
The 4e rules are a huge breath of fresh air. Combat and character gen are streamlined, and (in my mind) unnecessary details are omitted.

For DMs it is 50 times easier to draw up an encounter, and for players combat is fast and furious. Love the set, love the games.
