I've seen PHB, DMG, MM and even a deluxe edition of PHB at Amazon.Com. But i was hoping i could find the three-books-set there to pre-order.
Anyone knows if they'll really release that, and when?!
Thanks!
PS: If this is not the right section for this question, then sorry.

What is the World coming to?
What a box set with no dice in the box?

I don't see a huge problem with that. WotC dice sucks anyway, they're usualy ugly (D&D Deluxe Dice) or have weired results (D&D Worldwide GameDay)...
I hope to see amazon.com add the collected set soon at the same discounted price. Perhaps we need to start sending them some messages!
We should send messages for WotC, I guess. They're the ones who tell Amazon what are their products, right?
Now I'm torn. Like eveyone else, I wanna get my books right away. . . . but perusing Amazon has shown me that they're doing "deluxe" editions again. (link)
I can't wait until October. . . and I don't wanna pay twice.
Hmm. . . Christmas list!
However, it's $105, but the individual books can be preordered for the ridiculous price of $23 each... you lose out almost $40 by ordering the box.
EDIT: If you pre-order they are also doing an additional 5% off. So the price is actually $62.81 currently,also pre-ordered the realms campaign setting at around $26 (as opposed to the normal $40).
I'm assuming the books in the boxed set are essentially the same hardcover editions as the individual PHB/DMG/MM, just in a case, as they were in the 3rd and 3.5 releases? If they're softcover... would be kind of a letdown.
Soft covers have their uses, as I can go to Kinko's and spiral bind the soft cover players handbook for $6. Now I can lay my book flat, or flip it so one page is showing, or open it and not have to worry about losing my page. It's a great utilitarian modification for practical gamers.

They are the hardcover editions. I just checked, and it specifically says hardcover in the title of the product.
What would the "Deluxe Edition" be? Would there be additional content, or simply a minor re-tuning and finalizing? I mean, I'm sure you can play the game just as well with either set, and really I use a lot of online resorces for original monsters and house rules. I think I'm getting this discounted Amazon price, but I want to be sure that I'm actually saving money before I find out the Deluxe Edition is really a 6-book set that comes with maps, minis, and an actual wizard that will sit with you in your games and recite rules from memory as you need them. He also conjurs friends for you to play with if you are having problems finding them.
From the D&D Products Page:
These deluxe volumes are special leather-bound editions of the 4th Edition core rulebooks that every Dungeons & Dragons player and Dungeon Master can appreciate. These books feature embossed, leather-bound covers, ribbon book marks, and premium, gilt-edged paper.

Thanks for that find, WolfStar!
Ah, so they look very nice. I'd love that, but I'd also love to play now and spend money later.
Thanks for that find, WolfStar!
Glad to help.
I'm planning to place the deluxe editions on my Birthday/Christmas wishlists, and purchase whichever ones I don't get. Then I'mma put them in plastic protective bags, and take them to 09 and get the designers to sign them, before re-bagging them and letting them sit on my bookshelf for a good long while.
