Hm, possibly with animated scripted map with glowing letters appearing only when your computer clock determines full moon?

I'm well aware that I'm an anachronism in this day and age, but to me all those "enhancements" only serve to distract from the book itself. Do people really want that stuff, or is it just an excuse to knock the price upwards?

I know Derek Jacobi is a great actor who plays in some Shakespearian movies, but I don't know if that would be enough to induce me to get this, for myself or my kids, if I ever have any.
That's kind of odd, really. I think part of books being so wonderful is the fact that in reading them, people must rely so much on their own imagination to hear and see what is going on. It is sad that people want to take that away from the experience.

Obviously, I'm with Inzil on this one. I don't think my computer is set up to determine full moon.
