Yeah, although the SR Comp needs to be looked over by the GM just like
any other new book (including something like SR3 vs. SR2) it should
really be considered more 'core rules' than sourcebooks. FASA Puts the
companion in the same section with SR3 and the GM's Screen and the
Quick Start Guide, that is separate from any sourcebooks (even those
SR3 is based off of.)
