That's risky because things change daily and Amazon has removed items from being eligible before. I'd say order it as soon as it shows up because you're always guaranteed the lowest price until after the release date anyway.

Oh, I didn't know that items could become ineligible; I'll just reorder it if it shows up then. I'd rather wait since the "lowest price" is based on the percentage off from the MSRP; for instance, if I was able to get the ME3 CE guide for $24.82, about 5% off its current price of $26.12, but the guide dropped to $24.49 later, I'd be locked in at the lower price and effectively lose the Quick Picks discount, wouldn't I? If that happened, I'd much rather get it for $23.26.

But I understand that it's a bit neurotic to fuss over a little more than a dollar, so I'll still reorder should it show up in my Quick Picks. There's always the chance that it will still be eligible should the price drop.

On topic, it looks like the ME3 CE has a cover image now (and it looks so HAWT):

Nope, it would recalculate at 5% lower than the new price, so once it's locked in it stays forever.

That ME3 CE guide cover pic is quite the pic.

I was hoping for some femshep hotness on the cover, but very nice anyway.

bump for FFXIII-2, but no real info yet...

Anyone know why Amazon doesn't have the Skyward Sword guide listed?

Happy to see Piggyback is doing the guide.

Definitely in for 2 CE guides for sure!

I will definitely be buying the FFXIII-2 CE guide

and didn't the Saint's Row 3 one actually get canceled? not even listed Prima's website

Updated with SWTOR guide! Even though these are quickly outdated, they serve as a cheap coffee table art book none-the-less.

The price for the Skyward Sword CE guide isn't under $24 any longer on BN.com, it's back up to MSRP at $40.

Amazon doesn't have it, nor does Amazon.co.uk.

The SR3 CE guide did get canceled, yes.

It's so weird that Amazon isn't selling the guide for Skyward Sword; you'd think the strategy guide for a Nintendo flagship title would sell well. I guess getting the LoZ:SS CE guide for $20 after using the 50% off coupon at BBY is the best option for anyone who wants it.

I'm actually considering not getting the guide for the first time in my playing the Zelda series--I have this feeling that I might get much more enjoyment out of Skyward Sword if I play it on my own.

Glad i put in my order a couple days ago for one.

Sweeeeet, the Final Fantasy 13 CE guide was awesome, and I'm sure the sequel will be no different!

What coupon are you referring to?

Buy.com has the Skyward Sword guide for preorder for $29 with free shipping. Seems to be the cheapest I've seen now

There's a welcome packet for new Gamers Club Unlocked members that BBY has sent out that not every GCU member has received in the mail yet (and unfortunately it's impossible to tell when you'd get it if you haven't) that contains four surprisingly good coupons, one of which is for "50% Off a Gaming Strategy Guide", good until 12/31.

Oh, I see. I haven't received these in the mail yet. Ugh. Would've loved to use it on the skyward sword guide....

Still looks like that B&N and Gamestop are the only places for the Skyward Sword CE guide.

If you search the ISBN at Amazon it does bring up a page, but the pic is wrong and Amazon isn't selling it, just 3rd parties:

http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-S...1731335&sr=8-1

It's odd that it's not found at more retailers
