That's a cynical way to look at it. This looks like a great way to support the game and bring in new players. I think back, way back, when I bought my first boxed D&D set (blue box?). It sounds very much like this game, and I loved it to pieces (I was about 8).

I think that set went up to 3rd level.

Anyway, kudos to Wizards for using an old marketing tool that was as good an idea then as it is now.
