Hmmm...I'm kinda tempted since it is $10 and it would match my LE game.

you know you will regret it when they are gone. I too have the collectors edition of the game and I never buy game guides, but had to pair it up.

I hardly think the game requires a strategy guide (although you can say that for a lot of the games that have guides nowadays) but the art book part sounds interesting.

I'm probably never going to find it for a penny at BB, so I'm in for this. I had a birthday GC, so my grand total was $0.00.

Oh, one of the buyer comments said the art section was ~70 pages long, if that helps anyone on the fence.

In for one since they finally dropped the price of Charmed Season 7 for the wife....$42 for the guide + wife being happy = 2 for 1

I had the same thing just had to get the guide to go with the LE game did the same thing for FF12

Nice, can't pass this up. I don't have the LE game, but I'm a sucker for cheap guides.

Thanks OP!! Jumped on it, looked at one at the store and the art book was really cool. Bought EDF 2017 also.

I think I might start my free trial of amazon prime...is it easy to cancel?

Since I doubt any BB's or EB/GS's will have this for purchase when it drops to a penny (most likely snarfed up by employees), $9.57 w/free 2-day shipping (Amazon Prime is like crack) is well worth it with the art book.

Very easy. Simply go to your account options and check the box "Do not upgrade after trial ends." It is very easy to find and isn't buried under a crapload of menus either, it is out in the open. I heart Amazon.

Good find OP, I just wish I could justify a strategy guide for a game that does not need it. I guess I'll think about it hard.

The art book for this one is really nice. It's got concepts, finished pieces, the whole deal. It's also got Epic's hand drawn level topographics. It's really really nice.

Ok, thanks. I see it now. In for 1 guide also.

Well, I do have the LE of the game, so why not?

Thanks for posting.

After debating for literally 12 hours, I finally bit the bullet for the guide. Also picked up a Play and Charge Kit for $15 to qualify for free shipping. Also had $5 in store credit so not a bad score for $20 considering they retail for $50 combined.

I bought mine at $9.57, does that mean Amazon will bill me $9.57 for each and thats it or will they bill me for $9.57 and then refund me $0.48?

Just curious about that whole process, so when I buy games I know.

If you email them, they will refund you the $.48. Otherwise, no.

Thanks for the head's up on the price drop. Emailed them to get my $0.48 back.

I just ordered one. I didn't know what to buy to reach the free shipping. So I bought the Collector's Edition Zelda Twilight Princess guide for $18.89 that I missed when it was on sale at BB :bomb:.

The Zelda guide is great, and a very good example of why guides can be nice even if you can get most of the info online. It's a very handsome book and beautifully illustrated. I don't usually buy guides, but that one and the giant Oblivion one were definitely worth it.

I dont have this game and most likely will never have this game... but just noticed the LE guide dropped to $9.00 now and it's in my "gold box" for $8.55, that's dam cheap for a LE guide!

baberg
05-04-2007, 11:54 AM
Yeah, it's down to $9.00 even now. Free Prime 2-day shipping means I just spent another $9.00.

Damn you CAG! I never buy strategy guides!
