The Official Game License says that you need the PHB, DMG and Monster Manual 
to use them.  By the binding contract of the Arch-Fiends at WOTC/Hasbro PEG 
is required to say you need them all.  Truthfully I figure you need a total 
of maybe 100 pages out of all three books to run Wierd Wars.  The PHB is 
most imporant(mainly for Character generation), The DMG has the rules for 
awarding XP, making Magic Items(probably wont need them unless you making a 
relic of some sort), and the general G.M. stuff that you can get out of any 
RPG(how to run, how to motivate players), finally the Monster Manual only 
has fanatasy creatures most of which aren't usefull for Wierd Wars.

I personally don't dislike the D20 system but I hate the fact that WOTC 
requires you to buy 60 bucks worth of books for just the rules. I feel that 
WOTC should print a book that covers just the skelton generic rules(kind of 
like what they did with Amazing Engine).

Just my thoughts
