I saw the guide today, it looks like a paperback novel. The guide is really really thick

$20 may seem pricey, but I heard that this guide is PACKED, and I mean it. Practically everything you want to know about the game. Very thick guide...well worth the $20. The site even has a sample of the guide if you want to check it out

Still for something I can get for free on gamefaqs, 20$ is a lot of money. The most I spend on guides is 10$.

Its a good deal. The thing for me is I see it as an investment. When you sell it which will you get you more on ebay the game? or the game and the Strat guide? Sure you pay now but you get full enjoyment out of your game and more back when you sell it.

Fuck, just purchased the guide from EB's site. Got 20% off the guide though so it came to $19.24.

Yeah, it's pretty cool. It's nice that it's the size of a DVD case so you can just put it in the shelf next to your game.

I thought this was going to be a deal on the stragtegy guide for the old pc game Nocturne.
i can vouch for the PB guide, that has got to be the best guide ever written. The guys at double jump really do a good job. The Disgaea one was top notch too

So what? I was thinking of getting this guide for use with SMT Nocturne since I figured the game was gonna be packed full of extras or just stuff in general but since it's NOT a hardcover for that price, Doublejump can go fuck themselves. I'd CONSIDER buying it for $15 and would defnitely think about it at $10 but for the style of that guide and the fact it's not hardcover for that price is just ridiculous.
Btw that kid for your avatar is adorable Jekki! Is he your kid or nephew or what?

I got it today at EB and this guide is worth two or three $15 guides, IMHO. It's massive. Have you seen it? If not you should wait until you do before judging its value. It comes with some nice extras, too. Two bookmarks and a fold out poster thing.

I traded 5 Jumpacks today, I got from CC for $0.01, to EB just to get this guide. I can sleep now knowing, I didn't pay $20 for it. :D

I've seen it and it SHOULD be hardcover considering it's size and price.

Agree. Hardcover will be better.

Its a freaking monster. Wish it were a more traditional sized Strat Guide its going to be a pain in the fuck to keep open while playing.
