...and I was so close to purchasing until the $20 option to purchase DM guide or Players Manual with an alternate option to only purchase the compendium of each book for $20? Huh? Why would anyone buy just the compendium when you can have the whole book? What am I missing? Is it the wording I am not understanding?

Why was there no mention of the Legendary bundle in this thread? I just bought all the sourcebooks that showed up on my mobile web view, but the legendary bundle wasn't there at all. Then I come home to my computer and find there is a Legendary bundle which also gives a 15% discount permanently for future purchases? Is there any way to replace my earlier purchase today with the Legendary Bundle for the extra $40?

Ah ha! Thank you for explaining that. I didn't notice the discount was due to my prior purchase. Thanks!

Do we know if we will be able to view content when not on line or will this be on on line only thing?  After all if we have paid for it i would be nice to use it even when there is no internet available.

Are individual purchase options for the maps (and potentially player "clean" ones if that becomes possible) something that might happen? Or will maps continue to be limited to Sourcebook and Compendium Content puchase options?

I'd love to be able to buy print resolution (or at least high enough for VTT options) copies of the maps as well. The ones currently included with the Adventures are a great reference, but they aren't really large enough to use in play.

I know that just about all of the maps are available from the artist's websites, but it would be nice to be able to have everything stored under one umbrella. Heck, I'm already dreaming about the official content from the Dungeon Masters Guild being integrated with Beyond.

Oh wow! I swore I had already tried opening the image in a new tab and getting something not that much larger. This is actually a very nice size for VTT and should print well, also!

If you click on the image to expand it and then open the image in a new tab, you get a pretty large version of the image. I don't think you get Player versions without the notation though. That would be nice.

 Will there be both DM (labeled) and player (unlabeled) versions of the high-res maps?  

The player versions are what's of the most use for VTTs or large printing for use with minis.  I don't want my players seeing the labels, especially things like the locations of secret doors.  

The maps will display as they do in the books.

We could look into adding the player "clean" versions where they are available to us. I'll see what we can do about that.

OK you convinced me finally with the introductory deal. 

Well, I said I wouldn't buy D&D Beyond because I couldn't see the point (since I use Roll20) but I asked Roll20 2 days ago if there would be a PHB for Roll20 and they just didn't answer. I had to tweet directly at Nolan (Co-Founder of Roll20) to get an answer. His answer was that they have "ambitious plans" and no timeline.

Thus I used the competitive capitalist market to my advantage and bought both the PHB and MM from DDB instead. By comparison there is currently no PHB for Roll20, and their MM costs $50!!!

Their loss.

So - where is the link to unlock the source books?
