The phone support guy tried to tell me nothing stated I was buying the third edition and the reason they included the description of the third edition was to inform me of what I wasn't getting because not all books are the third edition.

LOL. So before I had the opportunity to tell him how this made no sense he put me on hold (apparently the hold button was broken and I could hear him yelling at the other employees to settle down which he then apologized for...) and after a long while said he would contact the publisher and if a new edition could not be provided to me I would be refunded.

Anyway, long story short I got a refund. So after a little ridiculousness I was treated right. Can't complain - now I have a free book.

Just thought I'd share my story too.
I think the publisher supplies all of that information, but very cool of Sony to give you a refund.
