How about a "digest version" that retails for $10? I don't think it's hurt Savage Tales RPG and WotC is taking a stab at the same sort of publication.

On a personal note, I introduced "spellware" from DragonStar in a game of mine. You can't use magical items when they are magical cyber implants. (Spellware made the user pay the XP cost and it took up a slot)
