I just picked up the Scenarios. I already had the other PDFs through my subscriptions. I admit it's something I would have done eventually, but I spent my budget for this months WotC 4th Edition PDFs, so you got the money a lot sooner instead of WotC getting it, because you made such a great PR move in response to their self-inflicted disaster.
I agree pdf'ing the mats/mastery packs would be a bad idea..quality of the medium they're printed on is a big part of their appeal (actually, I'd like to see the mastery packs on something a bit more substantial).
I figured up that before taxes/shipping, a 54 card deck at $10 each is $0.19 per card (rounded up to whole cent). I do not believe I could print a color image of the card on plain paper for $0.19 per card with how much inkjet printer ink costs, at least not while also paying for a PDF of the set at any reasonable price for Paizo. Of course if I need six backpacks and 30 trail rations, that might be economical. That's one thing I have found I like about the random packs. I DO need 6 or 8 of the same potion. (I like the one in Hero's Hoard with the little man on it as a Cure Light Wounds potion. Unfortunately I only have two of that one presently.) Anyway, I don't plan to have to try to figure printing out because I know if I want an item card, the Golem's Got It.
But then I'm more of a hardcopy kind of guy. I'm still tempted to pick up the PDFs of books I already own though just so I have a PDF set that matches my hardcopy set (some of which came with PDFs in my subscription).
Paizo, you're too good to me. I wish I had more money to spend on you.

I hope WotC enjoys their newly created spike in piracy as much as I enjoy my $8 pdf of Classic Monsters Revisited — a book that is only available in PDF.Amazon has the softcover Classic Monsters Revisited in stock. It is not a PDF-only product.
But way to stick it to the man.
Yeah, that's where I got my copy from! :)
As a whole, Paizo doesn't believe that PDF sales significantly harm sales of printed books.It's a point of disagreement internally, but some of us believe that selling PDFs of our card products would harm sales of our printed cards to a measurable degree, and some of us believe that PDF sales of Flip-Mats and Map Packs would harm sales of print editions to the point that they would no longer become profitable to produce in any form.
Well, I'll leave the internal debate to Paizo, but I'll note that if the PDF sale is capable of killing the physical product sale, shouldn't you be making the PDF? It might be cheaper. VTTs are going to get more ubituitous — I don't see it as possible that they will dwindle.
Also, as anecdotal evidence, I spent over $100 on Paizo PDFs before committing to a hardcopy product. I'm really glad you guys see eye to eye with me on that issue, and I'm putting my money where my preference is.

Well acording to my math, that would mean that you owe Sean $483,579.00 and Paizo $0.00 Sean Wins!

The New Argonauts FTW!!!
I bought something here, but it was non-paizo and in print. I fail :(
Meh, I wouldn't have bought it if all this hype had got me browsing around here :)

I have Hungry Little Monster, Swords into Plowshares and The New Argonauts, got them a while back, and I highly recommend all of them. Good stuff.
Edit: And don't forget, the proceeds from Hungry Little Monsters goes to kids who need the help, so there's a socially positive reason for grabbing that one also :)
New subscriber because of this promotion. I ordered the LoF #1 pdf, await #2, and will snag that pdf as soon as the hardcopy shifts. already have the support pdfs for LoF.
Happy to support a company that 'gets it'.
I think I'm gonna reserve this campaign for the half of our large gaming group that 'gets it' too. You don't waste fine wine. ;)
Just wanted to chime in about what a great idea this was.
I've purchased four PDFs already, with a few more to come before the sale is over. All but one of those purchases (and possibly all of them) would not have happened without the discount (and WotC's boneheadedness, but that is another story). Basically this is slightly more than $40 in revenue Paizo would not have had, all while incurring very, very little incremental cost. Even beyond the normal price-elasticity-related benefit gained from moving along the demand curve, Paizo now has a customer that is much more inclinded to make additional purchases.
Thank you for showing, once again, that you guys "get it."
I'm obsessive, I think.
I just bought two PDFs of modules I already have in print because I bought the hardcopies outside of my subscription and didn't get the PDFs with them, so just HAD to have the PDFs so my print copies have PDFs to go along with them.
There are a couple PDFs I'd still like to pick up (to match books I already own, see opening statement), but I just haven't twisted myself enough to to do it yet. I've still got a couple days. I think I still have one module outside my subscription, and one Chronicles book outside my subscription, and there's still one module print copy and matching PDF I'd like to pick-up outside my subscription.

I did the same thing when I had a subscription to the modules. So it isn't just you. :)
