Sidekick revised price goof

[sbarron]

The price of the Sidekick revised is listed as $14.99. And when you click on the link that opens the pop-up box for the Sidekick, the price at the top also says $14.99. But if you scroll to the bottom of the pop-up, the "retail price" is listed as $9.99.

Given this price discrepancy, I'm planning to buy all the Sidekicks at $9.99, and sell them back to you for $10.00. Phase I of my master plan for conquering the internet will then be complete...next, Phase II begins.

What is the real price...me so confused

currently:
book - 14.99
PDF - 7.00

Note that the PDF is of the "unrevised" Sidekick, hence the price difference.

I thought the PDF was also made the Revised version?

not that there's a ton of changes between the two versions.

[Lord Liaden]

Not much at all, really. :) Mostly the usual Errata corrections, slightly clearer layout, and page references to the full rulebook updated to 5ER. Otherwise it's the same material, so if you want the simplified ruleset and don't mind PDF format it's a great deal.

EDIT: I went to the Online Store to verify that the PDF of Sidekick still lacks the "Revised" tag on it that the hardcopy version has. IIRC Darren Watts mentioned here on the boards months ago that the PDF was still the original version, and apparently that hasn't changed. All things considered, I can understand why updating it wouldn't be a high priority compared to PDFing some of Hero's other books.
