Here is the most up to date compiled list of all known guide deals listed and posted for this thread and similar threads. I will update this list as people post new guide deals. Everything listed in this thread “should” be the price listed or lower. These prices are typically company wide price reductions and not YMMV. But just because the prices are typically universal does not mean that they are guaranteed to be sold to you. Most stores have a destroy clause with the guide companies. So whether or not you get these guides depend on many many factors from how diligent a staff is to how reasonable or friendly one is. Good luck on any you may find and good luck on acquiring them. If anything is incorrect or missing please post so corrections can be made.


Now you can just cut, paste, print, and GO!!!



How you can help: You can keep a printed copy of this list in your jacket, wallet, purse whatever and when you go to any store that carries guides look for guides for games that have been out typically around six months or more and ask for a price check or better yet use a store scanner if they are available. If they are anything less than cover price write it down for us. Also please when you post the info here if it looks like it’s a temporary sale, please post that as well otherwise it will be assumed to a be a permanent price reduction. If you scan a guide and it comes up a different price that what the master lists suggests please list the day and store that you had the guide scanned. Also please list if you physically saw a self-scanner’s price, physically saw a cash registers price or vocally heard a price from the store’s staff. This might sound like a lot and of course we will take what we can get but this will go a long way to having the best master list as well as ferreting out different store practices and policy’s. All help is appreciated and thank you.




Trading: I spoke with the post office and found out that the cheapest form of mailing to the 48 contiguous states would be to use “media mail” It will take a little longer but it will also allow the least amount of money per transaction when trying to acquire guides for your collection. For an average guide weight of about 9 oz its $1.42 cents. All you need to do is put it in an envelope and ship it media mail. He mentioned no one should have a problem if you use the same envelope several times to cut down on costs. He also mentioned that when shipping Media mail that you cannot have any personal correspondence in the envelope. Only books and an invoice are acceptable. If trading is in you interest you do whatever is most comfortable for you and your trading party this was merely a FYI and a good way to keep it cheap.

Looking for assistance: I am looking for some staff from Best Buy’s, EB’s, Gamestop’s and stores of the like. When EB Games or Gamestop has a price reduction their shelves can be empty in a day or two to even as little as just a few hours. EB and Gamestop have daily price changes so all depending on the store’s staff they could be all gone almost immediately. If I could get some staff that can either post here first thing any day that they have a price reduction on guides or that might be able to text message me with such price reductions so that I might be able to inform CAG’ers ASAP. Whether or not us the end user would actually be able to get them from a particular stores staff is very much an YMMV but if there is anyone who can help this would greatly increase the chance’s of CAG’ers being able to pick up guides from these locations. If anyone is interested and able to help please e-mail me at [email protected]. Thank you all for your consideration.



Thank you all for making CAG what it is and for all your contributions.

Master list in post 2
 
Doh! All out of GTA:SA guides...guess I missed the bus. Free beer on me when God of War (the game) actually drops!



and by beer I mean you give me money.
 
[quote name='Prepster']Went to bestbuy and found only NCAA football 06 pennied out. Grabbed that, but thats it.[/QUOTE]

Interesting...but would BB only drop one guide? Perhaps some PC guides dropped too...
 
[quote name='Zmonkay']soooo, any chance the guides will be pennied on bestbuy.com? if so, when (midnight presumebly, but what time zone?) THANKS all.[/QUOTE]
Very slim, since the last time they did penny guides that were online was like 6 months ago, if not more.

Whole lot of penny drops without them being online.
 
[quote name='dinovelvet']Interesting...but would BB only drop one guide? Perhaps some PC guides dropped too...[/QUOTE]

Anyone know?

I don't want to chance it and have the guides snatched by a media rep if I ask for a price check. So eager for that Morrowind guide too.
 
Finally happened. Went to an EB and found the Street Fighter + CD guide. It rings up a penny. I tried to play it off nicely by getting the SMT:N Doublejump guide.

I have him check the price. A penny.
"Oh, I can't sell this."
I play stupid. >Why not?
"Because I have to destroy it."
>Why?
"It doesn't have a price."

And then he walks off, refusing to sell it to me.

Sigh. I'm starting to agree with the "if it's in the store, it can be sold" mentality. It's not my fault they aren't removing them....
 
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with San Francisco stores pennying out guides? I went to the Stonestown EB and they said they destroy them and can't sell them. The nearby Gamestop had previously owned guides for $1 and half off big guides like FF8,9, etc, but that's about it.
Any ideas?
 
I found the Shadow Hearts Covenant guide sealed on Sunday at EB when I went to get the rest of the 50% off Genesis games I wanted.

I cracked a smile, and the girl behind the counter handed it over for free, no problem.
 
I seem to always screw up when buying penny guides. I couldn't find my list when I was at EB Games so I bought Shadow Hearts Covenant and Shining Tears. Unfortunately, Shining Tears was NOT a penny. But I bought it anyway and plan to return it. I think it helps to buy something at full price when buying penny guides.

Anyway, the copy of Shadow Hearts Covenant is sealed in plastic. Does anyone want to buy it?

I haven't even been to an EB Games since the beginning of summer, but I remember getting several penny guides at the Powell St. EB near Union Square, and thats usually the place to visit. Of course, I haven't been there in months, and I got the guides the same week they were pennied out, so thats what I know. The only penny guides I ever got at Stonestown over several visits was a Full Spectrum Warrior guide. I never had much / any luck with the other 4 EBs.
 
Finally got around to pick the last few drops. I have the following for trade. I'd consider trading for some of those $5.00 and $10.00 games left over from any recent sales as well:
Jade Empire, Forza (not shrinkwrapped), MGS3, pikmin 2, Fight Night Round 2, Jak 3 (shrinkwrapped), LOTR:TTA, Killer 7, Tekken 5, Ratchet and Clank UYA, NFS Underground 2, Megaman X command mission. PM if you're interested.
 
Picked up Arc the Lad End of Darkness at Gamestop and Tekken 5, Devil May Cry 3, RC:UYA, Hitman Contracts, Golden Eye Roge Agent at ToyRUS. They are all availabe for trade. PM with your lists and offers. Thanks. SS
 
[quote name='wannabepunktony']Have we figured out if anything at BB pennied out this week?[/QUOTE]

Apparently just NCAA 06, but who the hell wants that?
 
[quote name='wannabepunktony']Have we figured out if anything at BB pennied out this week?[/QUOTE]

As far as I know it was only NCAA football 06 when I went there. And yes I did buy it...No idea why, but for a penny, why not?

Hehe, okay. Just wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything. ^_^ Thanks guys.
 
On Tuesday I scanned all the guides at Best Buy. I couldn't post sooner because my internet went dead.

Nothing new to report! Other than the Rainbow Six: Lockdown guide is $9.99.
 
God of War didn't get pennied at TRU, did it?

Local TRU was missing all of it's copies, it seems... I didn't check too thoroughly, though.
 
i tried to get tekken 5 from tru today but the lady wouldnt let me have it but on the other hand when i walked into ebgames the clerk told me he had a big box of promo things and to take whatever i want i grabbed a nice xbox 360 polo and some other cool shirts
 
Not a penny guide, but I thought one of you who visits this thread might be interested in this book:

http://product.half.ebay.com/The-Art-of-Game-Worlds_W0QQtgZinfoQQprZ30868305

Comes out to just under $5 with shipping.

Worth it to me . . . really nice artwork within. I haven't read much of the text but the images are lush. Originally published at $30. The book is dated 2004 and so the games featured are from that time frame (FF X-2, Fable, Sudeki, Voodoo Vince, etc).

What I've read is not really ground breaking but is solid info on game making and graphics.

I ordered it last Sat. from this seller (polarbearbooks) and it came today!

EDITORIAL NOTE: As I wrote this post, the last $1.98 copy sold . . . now $3.45 is best price before shipping.

Also sub-$2 copies from Amazon sellers.
 
I went to an EB tonight and they were rearranging stuff. Looks like they moved and straighten up the guides. Unfortunately, it looks like they cleared out all the penny guides from the last drop and they had quite a few two days ago. But I still managed to pick up Call of Duty for the PC for a penny. Nice guide with historical info about D-day and WW2.

Wow, nice.
 
Got GTA:SA and Destroy All Humans at BB today. Checked the zelda:four sword guide and it was still at full price. I hope they penny that out soon.

We might see some drops at BB on Monday since technically it will be the first Monday of the month.
 
[quote name='dinovelvet']We might see some drops at BB on Monday since technically it will be the first Monday of the month.[/QUOTE]

Any idea what BB might drop this time? I assume the likely candidates are the older games but then again Zelda: Four Swords has been out for much longer than other games whose guides BB have already pennied out. And also does BB drop prices on their guides at the first Monday of every month?
 
[quote name='Roufuss']God of War didn't get pennied at TRU, did it?

still 19.99 at TRU

they dropped the ncaa 2006 guide already.

Its been the first Monday for the past two or three months, but it might just be a coincidence. Last time I checked, the Full spectrum warrior guide is still a penny at BB too, so there's no exact science to it. I think they're running out of guides to drop! Their 'older' ones are Darkwatch and Rainbow six Lockdown, but these have only been out for two months. We might not see any drops for a while...
 
Anyone have any Harry Potter guides for trade?

My son is into the books and I'm getting some of the games.

Please PM me if you have HP guides.

I live in SF too. I rarely see the EB store sell the guides so cheap.
 
The EB in Hillsborough, NJ on Route 206 had some penny guides. Two I noticed were Tales of Symphonia and Street Fighter Anniversary with CD if anyone in the area wants one of those.

Does anyone know if Rise of Nations is a penny? I know it's not on the list but it is pretty old... anyone know?
 
Went back to the Saint Petersburg TRU, got Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal... employee was really cool, he told me he knows he shouldn't sell it but it's too late now, and they need to be pulled.

I was nice enough and helped him out, so the rest of the Up Your Arsenal's, Tekken 5's, and DMC 3's are gone from there. Sorry local CAG's, but these drops happened a week ago almost, and the employee was going to do it himself if I didn't help him (he said he's still gonna check every guide).

Chatted about the Xbox 360 some, this way if some penny guides drop again he'll hopefully be just as cool about it.
 
Just got back from Best Buy and managed to pick the GTA San Andreas guide.I'm willing to trade it for a Street Fighter Anniversary Collection guide,if interested,please pm me.
