The page number on the PHB doesn't match up to the 3.5 PHB (there is a 4 page difference). That could be because of the eratta, or it could indicate that the product listing is incorrect.
Why Mechanics-Alignment Integration is Bad
Show
so why even play a fighter if you can play the paladin the exact same way behaviorally and get added power to boot. "Paladin" is about accepting better game-enhancing mechanics at the price of more rigid in game behavior.
Really? So it goes something like this?
Fighter: "I want to be a paladin."
NPC: "Really?"
Fighter: "Yes."
NPC: "Very well." Starts reading from a holy book while still in-character "Do you accept having to choose and stick to the lawful good alignment, eventhough neither of us actually knows that it exists or what it is?"
Fighter: "I do."
NPC: "Do you reject good game balance because you accidentally rolled a high Charisma?"
Fighter: "What?"
NPC: "I don't know what it means either."
Fighter: "Oh. Umm, ok I do."
NPC: "In the name of all that is metagamey and broken, accept these better game enhancing mechanics."
Fighter: "These what?"
NPC: "Just get out there and try to fulfill a million different people's notion of good while not violating and part of any of them."
So the system is designed such that every single hit needs to be described to avoid confusion? Here's a scenario. The players are nudists, everybody in the world are nudists, it's not weird, it's totally normal in this land. They are naked and they fight drakes taking damage throughout, but healing up with surges. Later they meet the guy who raised the drakes.
Part 1: I didn't describe any of the hits. What does he see?
Part 2: Lets say I described the drakes as biting the players, yet they healed up. What does he see?

Considering Pathfinder is in print, I'm really suprised by this.
I love you guys.

So maybe "appeal to all the generations" simply means "reprint all the generations!"?
Someone please notify me immediately if Rules Cyclopedia get a reprint.

4 pages does sound about right for errata.
I'd rather not speculate about whether this is genuine or not because it seems really odd if it is. Though I never did get the 3.5 core and I do still play it... so I wouldn't complain if it is accuarate. I would just be slightly baffled. While handing over my money.

 It's the Reverse Pathfinder Gambit! Step 1: Reprint 3.5 with errata and some minor fixes. Step 2: Pathfinder players purchase D&D 3.5, potentially splitting Pathfinder playerbase. Step 3: Release D&D 5.0

If you're read the 5E playtest spoilers, it's the good parts of 4E (as they apply to the wizard class) imported into 3.5. I'm serious.
Oh Content, where art thou?

I wonder if the game plan is to have all five editions in print at the same time.
That would be...ambitious.

Reprint and support all the old editions = the best and only feasible way WotC can make fans of all editions happy. I doubt that's what this is, but one can hope.
4e D&D is not a "Tabletop MMO." It is not Massively Multiplayer, and is usually not played Online. Come up with better descriptions of your complaints, cuz this one means jack ****.
