Very simple, don't waste $50 on this when it is on YouTube for free, plus it has all the same downloads and everything except you pay $50 for this and not for the YouTube one.

This is a great beginner course to go through. It teaches many of the basics of a 2d platformer game and is a great supplement to other online materials. The author is active on twitter and I actually received an answer to the question I left via twitter before I received and answer here. By the way, he is working on a Unity 4.3 version of this type of tutorial and I'm looking forward to being first in line for it. I hope everyone else enjoys this course as much as I have.
