I'm only really throwing my 2¥ in here because the list is so slow ATM.

I thing FASA have been working hard to make sure they update their old books
for the new players; you can play the game with the BBB, SRComp, M&M, CC,
MITS and The Matrix (TM?), you only need Rigger2 to have access to every
rule in the game.

As for sourcebooks; they are nice, but not essential for new players, if you
own New Seattle you have all the info you need to run a few years worth of
SR.

OTOH, I really want FASA to update/re-release the Tir Taingire sourcebook.
GMs do want to add things to their games which they just don't have the info
on and can't get the books. Of course, to a certain extent, thats what
we're here for.
