Seems like there were a couple of other ones though.

There's hardcover versions of the Killzone 2 and Killzone 3 guides that FP put out, as well as Portal 2, all of which were Europe only. Plus, as others have said, some of the guides, such as Bayonetta, were only hardcover guides and only in Europe.

Are you talking about the Portal 2 Hardcover guide? Should I buy one soon in case they go up in value? On Amazon the hardcover is only slightly more than an unused regular edition.

I found a penny drop at toys r us today. It was no other then Madden 10 !!!!!!!!!! Both copys rang up for a penny and they were in great condition, woo hoo !!!!

No, the "rare" one I meant was the Bayonetta guide ("latter" means the second of two things ).

There was a drop at GameStop today 10/10:

UFC 3
WWE 12
Ninja gaiden 3
Mario kart
Mario party 9

There may be more, but these were all pennied

I understand what the word "latter" means. You said the portal 2 guide was "fantastic." I am wondering if it's worth the price people are asking for it on Amazon.com. Should I spend an extra $10 for the hardcover?

Hentai isn't really my thing, so I don't have much interest in playing Bayonetta

Ah, I see; I apologize if I came across as condescending.

To answer your question, I'd say yes, go ahead and get the hardcover for $10 more. I didn't realize the hardcover existed until I bought the softcover, and I'm not willing to buy it again, but if I hadn't gotten the softcover, I'd have gone with the hardcover.

A game like Portal 2 truly deserves a hardcover guide.

Just picked up a ME3 CE

Hi coop!

Cool trick, I'll call some people I know tomorrow. There are two stores that I'll be driving by that show stock.

At Best Buy? Did it ring up a penny or did it say that you can't buy it?

gs

There's a couple of copies of the ME3 CE guide nearby. Would I jeopardize my chances by placing a hold for instore pickup?

Absolutely.

Its time to go guide hunting again

Thanks jk was able to get SR3 and 2 Mario Karts putting the extra mario up for trade. Bummed that my local didnt have ME 3 le never even seen it on the floor. My guy said no worries that if the reg me3 goes penny he has 20 + copies in the back. Sweet!

I almost got a nice haul.... Me ce, mario kart, mario party and ufc! Cashier rang up the guides and it pennied. Then manager came and saw the guides and told me i couldnt have them. Hes probably gonna bring it home later when no one s watching! I could see it in his smile! Sheesh!

For the first time in ages, I actually found some penny guides. I only took one (Saint's Row 3) since the other ones didn't really catch my eye and I didn't want to push my luck. Regardless, I'm happy! First penny guide in a long time.

EDIT: What's a cheap way to ship guides? I intend to put my Saint's Row 3 guide up to trade for a Ratchet and Clank: All 4 One guide, but I don't want to break the bank on shipping.

USPS media mail with delivery confirmation. If you do it at the PO it will roughly cost $3.50-3.75, depending on where it's being sent. You definitely want to use a bubble mailer.
