I know for email ones at least you can set the amount.

Is it rare for Amazon to cancel orders? I ordered this on Barnes and Noble back when Amazon was OOS for pre-orders and then I ordered it from Amazon as well. I was concerned about canceling my pre-order for B&N in case Amazon doesn't have sufficient supply.

Will that even be a problem with Amazon?

Trying to decide whether to order a copy tomorrow or try to PM at Best Buy on release day.

I think I've had Amazon cancel 1 order on me the entire time I've shopped there in the past 8 years. So in my experience, yes it is rare for them to.

Although I have learned to pay for shipping and not use the FSSS for popular stuff as it seems that they go on a basis of shipping method rather than when orders were processed. (I could be wrong on that but the recent FF12-2 CE BS I went through was pretty much the end of FSSS for me)

What I love about the guide is that it is a non-spoiler walkthrough. So you could read through the entire book and not have the story spoiled (well, I assume major arcs in it anyway). Which is a plus to me cause some guides I love looking through just to see weapon, armor and item artwork and the little bits of character art they sometimes throw in there (looking at you Dragon Quest guides!)

Exactly! That's what helped convince me to buy it
I have never needed to use a guide before for a game so this is gonna be new for me xD

I pre-ordered this a while ago actually. But I forgot all about it until now. Can't wait for the game Tuesday.

Amazon and Walmart the biggest retailers in the US get a lions share of supply for most items. Even more than specialist stores like BN (Books) and Gamestop (Games). Of course not the case for niche products to either BN/Gamestop.

I guess I don't get the point of these guides anymore, now that the internet exists and you generally can find information online eventually.

One of the reasons is for having the physical copy to own for a collection. For some people, it "completes" a game to have the physical game complete with the respective guide (mostly on major games, RPGs, etc.). Having it be a hardcover CE guide makes it even more "collective" and wanted. Thats why there are those out there that despise if games ever go to all digital (which I personally dont think will happen), we want physical copies to have in a collection that we can play, hold, and look at for enjoyment. Plus guides offer all the pictures and maps that most online faqs just dont show.

Try close to $400, then we'll talk.

The Bayonetta Guide was an investment.

I haven't bought a guide since Morrowind but if this is filled with gorgeous Ghibli art, it's probably worth it!

Ordered... I really hope it is different from the Wizard's Edition book though!

You spent $400 on the Wizard's Edition? You forget to preorder in time?

He probably means 400 total for everything he ordered. Multiple copies and guides and whatever else.

I'm not sure exactly how much I've spent on Ni no Kuni merchandise so far but it's well over 400...

I think I signed onto the wrong site...I could SWEAR I typed in CHEAPassgamer.com.

I plan on getting the guide, and that along with the regular edition will be good for me.

Or you could buy the wiz Ed, sell it for $300, wait for the reg version to be $20 and buy it. Now THAT'S CHEAP.

I don't buy the guide with every game I purchase nowadays but when I do it's either for convenience or collector purposes.
