I'm not privy to the cost breakdown, but, IMO, SuSE is missing a chance to have a higher margin from the people who want the CDs/DVDs, but no paper manuals or support. At $49, most people will pay the extra for the manuals.
I agree, I usually buy 1 full professional version in each full point upgrade, (7.2, 8.1), and then try to stay updated through the internet. I appreciate the manuals, although I don't always get all the way through them and even if they occasionally fail me. The point is that I would probably be willing to purchase an upgrade dvd for around $20 if it could actually be used to upgrade a previous version, and I'd still purchase my regular full point upgrade w/ manuals for reference. As it is SuSE is losing the opportunity to get $40 to $60 out of me between full versions. Of course if they pull a dead rat and start calling each upgrade a full point then I reserve the right to change my mind.
