The current has the TSR logo on it, will Wizards of the Coast be re-printing
all the books with their logo on them?.

Also.
Does the current version of Alternity have the changes and modifcations
listed on the Wizards of the Coast website under errata and changes?.

I'm no expert but I haven't heard anything about a new edition. Last I heard
was the price drop of the two core books from $30 to $20 per. If you don't
believe me just look in the latest Dragon annual. It states:

"BIG ALTERNITY NEWS. Price redution: As of September 1, the prices on the
Players Handbook and Gamemaster Guide were reduced to $19.95, making your
first foray into science fiction roleplaying easier than ever."

The morons have forgotten to inform the stores of this price change. I have
visited every store I could think of in the SF Bay area and they still have
it listed at the old price. Even after I informed them of the change. I even
E-mailed Wizards.

I don't know about either of these two issues.

When in doubt you can alway search your local 1/2 price books. I was
very interested in Alternity, but was not very comfortable shelling out
$60 for both playeer's and GM's for something I wasn't sure about. I
was afraid it would be another D&D or AD&D and didn't want to waste
money. I went to my local 1/2 price and found both books for $30.

Never forget the benefit of shopping at 1/2 price.

What good is emailing WoTC going to do? As I understand it, they
can't do anything about what stores are charging without getting into
some hardcore legal trouble.
