I purchased quite a few things from the PHB in the marketplace- spells, backgrounds, feats, and subclasses. I mostly got these through bulk purchase options, though I picked up a couple backgrounds a few months back before buying the full background bundle.
First issue: there seems to be an additional spell? Branding Smite is showing up as a spell I could buy piecemeal. But I already bought all the spells, so why is there an extra I don't have now? Shouldn't I also have Branding Smite?
Second issue: the total cost of the PHB is discounted to $7.03. However, if I add up the cost of everything that's left - the subraces and that Branding Smite spell - it only comes out to $5.97 (if I buy the subraces individually) or $4.98 (if I buy the subraces in a bundle). Why is finishing off the entire PHB more expensive than simply buying the remaining pieces individually? Is there a benefit to buying the entire PHB that goes beyond just the individual parts?
Branding smite was not listed as an SRD spell and that was corrected on the 10th. I assume that threw off some things as my account shows I can purchase the spell as well even though I bought the legendary bundle. Testing it out in the character builder and looking it up in the listings proves that I have full access to the spell, so there is no need to purchase it.
Buying the full PHB gives you the compendium, versus buying all of it piecemeal gives you just the character builder and listings sections. Anytime you buy content you have four options;
Buy the whole source. Compendium + listing/builder content.
Buy just the compendium (digital book)
Buy just the specific bundles you want. Spells, Races, etc...
