PLE
I am working in maya unlimited (but i am not a prof still) and for interest download ple5 and what do i am find: ple help is similar with maya unlimited help. What this?
My personal opinion:
PLE do not help to learn anything about maya. I am even thinking: similar help in ple and full maya. WHAT FOR I AM PAY MY MONEY!!! i think alias for huge price must to make A BEST HELP in the world. do you hear me Alias? (joke)
But actually help in maya is TERRIBLE!
and I think, you guys (who was write a "good words" about ple) even do not see ple. just talking.

As for the huge cost of Maya, sure it's not cheap by any stretch of the imagination, but compared to all the other high-end 3D apps, it's one of the cheaper ones to obtain at $2000 US. For Complete, in any case, which has more then enough to sustain anyone. That's what I use.

The thing you have to remeber is that learning maya is a big envestment of time and patience, and is not just about reading help files to get good at it. Programs like MAYA take time and a lot of messing around experamenting with different options to start to even understand what this progam is capable of doing.
Im still learning new things everyday about this program and a lot of things I have no clue how to do (dynamics), when I do get stuck I reseach on the net, books, and forums like SM.

With MAX help for example you can learn this soft, without books or tutors, everything included
Just I think Alias try to make more money creating a “bad” help and if you want you can buy DVD, books and so on and so on.
But descreet making money by different way: you must purchase plug-in for MAX to normally work in this soft.
And Maya is really most powerful 3d soft ever.

Maya included “help” for me, is not a very useful help
You know, I like study everything by myself.
And help useful for me: first do this; second do this; third do this…
Example from Maya help:
Q: Why PainFX do not work properly with dynamics (or fluid) fog?
A: Use the rendering passes. (I don’t remember exactly answer, but something like this)
But HOW? And where?
(My brother ask my to create nature scene with fog for his desktop)
I try converting PaintFX to poly… a lot of grass and trees… I think you understand what’s happened with my computer.
