I won't pay those prices so will have to wait until the mass market price point and by that time i've had ample opportunity to buy lots of other books and possibly lost interest in the latest release for a given series. Not always of course, but it has been the case for me in the past.

That's always been the case with me too, but that's a game the publishers have played with us for eons. Apparently it works well enough for them because they keep playing by those rules.
