I just haven't had the money (been putting it into stuff for my film as well as buyig Maya and RealFlow- wanna become a 3D matte painter eventually) but I'm determined to buy the vids as I go. I need to be making the backdrops as I go and since I plan to get the film completed by next summer I don't have much time.
I've also got very limited computer resources to work with so I know that one 20 second scene rendered at HD res could potentially take 3 months or more to render (not taking down time into account).

I'm hoping to line up some free products both on Cornucopia and my blog soon. You'll probably find them useful.
If you want to save money, then I'd say hold off on the videos and wait for the book. As far as value for money goes, the book has about 800 hours of stuff packed into it compared to a 40 minute video.

Gaining the knowledge and skills I need is the most importnat thing for me so I'll be buying both the vids and the book. It all comes down to the way my brain works when learning - combining video with books helps me take in and understand the information being given so much better.
