I'm not trying to hijack it either, but this also annoys me.

Never underestimate the miserly penny-pinching ways of the public. I could burn a ten-dollar bill and not really care, but some people would rather lose a finger than a buck.

For me that would be about a day's pay, and I work roughly three days a week, seven months of the year (seasonal part time employment).

A community member (not you) bought me a 2007 copy of the game. I've paid for 2006 and Version 9 myself when they came out 'late', and if Version 10 is released in May or later I'll almost certainly pre-order again. If it comes out any earlier I'll have to wait for one of the midseason discount periods, and maybe by that time I'll have other things to spend the money on.
OotPB is very reasonably priced, and I have no complaints about the pricing policy. I do have complaints about posters who toss around terms like 'pussies not wanting to spend the money' and 'miserly penny-pinching'. Sometimes even reasonably priced games are too expensive.
