      Apparently not:

      The move comes not long after an increase in price for D&D books across the board. Physical copies run $59.95 normally, and the digital + physical bundles are $10 more, putting them around the same price as most newly released video games. The digital + physical bundles work exclusively with D&D Beyond. Meaning other platforms like Roll20 and Fantasy Grounds have their own separate content they do not sell bundled together.

      From the article, “It’s also a move that comes with a price increase, especially for those who don’t pre-order the books.”

      Of course there’s a price increase.

      But they aren’t giving you the pdf with it either. They’re giving you access to a digitized book that they can cut off access to whenever they want to push the next edition. It’s just another example of Hasbro missing the entire point of the community’s complaint.
