The link and page is up for it but they don't have the price up yet. I haven't seen this available or even a glimpse anywhere else. When I read about it in the details found out it too gives you (3) Unlock points for upgrading weapons and abilities. I played the Beta so I know how helpful this will be. If you preorder Killzone 3 through Amazon they give you another (3) Unlock points so all together (6) total.

Thought this might interest those who can't wait for this game, and who collect the guides.

Only put it in the deal category because of the (3) unlock points

Killzone 3
The Official Guide

The Only Guide to Becoming Elite…

After the critically-acclaimed guide to Killzone 2, Future Press have done it again. Crushing the Helghast on the Elite difficulty setting is the real meat of Killzone 3’s Campaign. Crushing your opponents in Warzone is what Killzone 3’s Online Multiplayer is all about. These two challenges are the central focus of this guide and its aim is to make sure anyone can become an elite Killzone 3 veteran. By providing strategies and tricks that work in the very toughest situations, we ensure that anything less than the most serious challenge is overcome. If you’re really up for mastering the game, all you need is here.

This is made by FuturePress. They put all other guides to shame. If the game is deep, then this guide will be amazing.

That makes it an instant purchase, if it's a FuturePress guide.

Yea FuturePress did the Killzone 2 collectors guide too so I'm psyched hope it saved some of yall some searching

Wow, so there were actually two KZ2 guides made by two different publishers? I know the regular one was made by BradyGames. Don't think I've ever seen the FuturePress one.

Yea man I knew about it a while after I had bought the Bradygames one.

Here's a link I've seen one so it made me look for the one for Killzone 3 and sure enough same company is making it!!

Found one Ebay too.. soft cover but sold for $9 which is a steal because it wasn't released in the US

Is FuturePress really that good? I've really never had much experience with an FuturePress guides, so I'm interested to know. Prima + BradyGames are of varying quality, but when I think of high quality must buy guides, I think of Piggyback (their RE5, Assassin's Creed and FFXIII guides are GORGEOUS). How does FuturePress compare with Piggyback?

Wonder how much it'll be, there Bayonetta guide is so rare now. o:

I meant it, they really do put all other strategy guides to shame. Other guides are either "pretty" or just a simple walkthrough with item locations. Future Press has all that but really breaks things down so you can play the game at a high level. I'm going through Vanquish with their guide and its amazing to see how technical and tuned this particular game is. Many will gain a whole new appreciation for their games with guides like these. Even game designers can learn a few things from these guides

The Vanquish guide is pretty damn detailed. Futurepress definitely takes the time to cover gameplay mechanics in depth!

So heres there site.... read the descriptions..... craaazy amount of hours testing the games and details.. Can't wait to get my hands on this
http://www.future-press.com/index.php?sect=books

Also I clicked order online from their site and it took me to Amazon.uk and it said price would be 14.99 in UK money .. exchange rate says about $23.89 here but I don't know if that's correct Great price if so

Looks like it is out of stock since I just get prompted to sign up for e-mail notification when it is available again.

This book needs to get to the states, post-haste. I'm lucky enough to have both the Bayonetta and Killzone 2 Collector's Guides, as well as the Vanquish guide, and the detail put into each is ridiculous. Take me, for example. I was getting my ass rocked in Killzone 2. I got the guide, and read about only 10% of the multiplayer and weapons sections, and from there I was able to hold my own. Just 10%! Brady and Prima know that FuturePress knocks them out of the park with ease, so we might have to deal with that exclusivity b.s. again. In my opinon, what you pay for a FuturePress guide is more than worth it, compared to the prices that bradygames charge for their guides. Prima's okay(better than bradygames post dan birlew), but FuturePress is the shite. One more thing regarding Killzone 2's guides. I had both the bradygames (scored for $10) and FP guides. I flipped through brady's version and gave it to my cousin. There was no comparison.

I want this. The cover itself looks epic.

Interesting... learning something new everyday, thanks for the feedbacks hanzohattori1. I hope I don't have to get this from UK, it doesn't have free shipping

Not a huge Killzone fan, but I might get the CE guide from amazon UK if I have to. I love CE guides and editions.

I doubt a retailer will sell it in the US. Buy from amazon UK or hope for a 3rd party seller.

The total comes to about $33.20 shipped for me, not sure if I should bite. I've never ordered anything from Amazon Uk before, and lately I've heard people on here say their orders have been delayed?
