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.



Helpful links to check for reduced priced guides or guides in general. You will likely never find one cent guides here but various discounted guides and possibly some that you have been searching for.

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.



If you have guides to trade or request please post here as well and of course any video game magazine deals you may find from any store.


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

Good Hunting
 
[quote name='Zincdust']Hey gang, if you have one, check your local ShopKos... It may be YMMV, but mine (Kennewick, WA) had Final Fantasy X-2 and Mario Party 5 for $0.59 each.

Wow! Two reduced game guides that I found and I actually own the game to go with them! :shock:[/quote]
I will pay someone to pick me up an FFX-2 guide. Any reasonable offer accepted.
 
Sweet, picked up five guides this morning and took them to my local game store to trade in... got enough credit to buy

Chu Chu Rocket DC
TMNT 2: The Arcade Game NES

a nine cent investment... and I pocketed 30 cents from the trade in... :lol:
 
I noticed a couple other older titles in the racks at my BB

Paper Mario
Zelda 4 Swords Adv

anyone have confirmation if these are a penny yet?

Thanks
 
Does anyone know if these prices are effective for Sam Goody as well, since they are owned by the same company as Best Buy? I know they don't share the same prices with BB (just look at their $20 CDs), but they always have a nice selection of guides and it would be nice to pick some up cheap.

Probably not...I had Full Spectrum Warrior and Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow scanned at BB yesterday, and they both came up full price. I don't think the age of the game has much to do with it, Shark Tale has been out for all of two months and that guide is already a penny.
 
Got Spiderman 2 and Burnout 3 for $.06 total. They still had a couple copies of both in San Jose, CA...though the cashier felt the need to check with the manager about the prices but was more shocked than anything.
 
I got Burnout 3, MG Twin Snakes, and NFL2K5

Would trade any for Silent Hill 4 or FF X-2 (shopko) . . .

if you have SH4 or FFX2, I have others for trade . . . pm for a tradelist . . .


Also, I checked Pikmin 2 (not a penny) and Driv3r (thought for sure it would but it wasn't either)
 
FYI, the following guides were NOT a penny at BB (in case you're interested):

Ninja Gaiden
Zelda 4 Swords Adventures
Metroid Zero Mission
Pokemon Colosseum (Nintendo)
Splinter Cell: PT (covers the XBox version)
Sonic Heroes
 
Regarding the Pandora Tomorrow guide, many months ago someone posted supposedly inside information that it was about to drop. Pretty stupidly, I picked one up for $15 hoping to price adjust the next week. So, I actually paid full sticker on that guide, lol.

Wow! Your store still has these!

I used to (about August) check Ninja Gaiden and Sonic Heroes on a regular basis . . . then they just vanished.

I created a trade thread . . . take a look
http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=618058#618058
 
OK, I decided to hit up TRU and scan some guides to see what happened and...
nearly all the guides that are for older (9-12 mos. old) games are marked down (not to a penny, though :() AND most are 50% off from the green tag sale. so, i got Soul Calibur 2 (brady) and Ratchet:GC for $3.49 ea. Tons of others were marked down...original PoP, WindWaker, and more. I also scanned Ninja Gaiden and Mafia, neither of which were marked down.
I assume these are not YMMV, but who knows!

Side note - I can confirm Crimson Tears at EB for .01. I got one today!

Hey that is what the Best Buy employee told me, it was that way every time before, how was I suppose to know their policy was going to change :(

I wasn't blaming you, it was my own greed/stupidity that got the better of me. I only found one of the guides in the 3 stores I checked, so I didn't want to risk it being gone when the price actually dropped.
 
I have an extra Burnout3, an extra Spiderman2 guide and a Syphon Filter guide that I am looking to trade for either (or both) Metal Gear: Twin Snakes and/or a Shopko FF:X-2 guide.

For any NYC residents, the BB in Long Island City (near Northern Blvd.) had tons of Burnout 3 (I took 2 - one to trade here, one for me) and Spiderman 2 (took 3 - two for here, one for me). They also had Shrek (didn't take) and a few others. The interesting thing is that they were all priced as marked on the shelf for anyone who looked at them. Couldn't find ESPN 2K5 or the MGS:TS guide though.

Also went to the 86th/Lex store today and got a Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire guide. Nothing else really there, although they did have an ESPN Football 2K5 guide, but they had placed their own BB sticker on top of the actual UPC with a $9.99 price. Someone more enterprising could see if it really is $9.99 when rung up or if they are feeling daring, pull that tag off and just have them scan the barcode. Other than that, didn't see much else at this location.

The only bad news is that the Spiderman 2 guide isn't a penny; it cost me a whole nickel :lol:
 
I haven't had the time to visit Best Buy since penny guides were found there. My area's Best Buy is the only one for miles, the next one is at the freaking Airport!

So tomorrow I'm hoping to hit up Best Buy and see if they still have FF XI, MGS: TS, Burnout 3, Psi-Ops, SH4. And maybe any others to trade in this thread. Wish me luck, I'm not too optimistic about it...
 
Kenosha Shopko pisses me off.

I went to look in the clearance section . . . found a MGSTS and Mario Party 5 guides for .59 each . . .

I searched the store a few months ago (when word first went out about FFX2 guides on clearance. I couldn't find guides anywhere. Now I see a magazine type rack two aisles away from games which I didn't see then . . . now I wonder if they had a FFX2 at the time. :cry:
 
Got Burnout 3, NFL street, and Spiderman, and Pokemon at the Union City, CA Best Buy. Don't think there are any more left because i think the Best Buy workers said they are going to get the remaining copies.
 
Just so everyone knows, the Best Buy in Lakewood, CA sucks big time.

My sister had found a Burnout 3 and a Final Fantasy Online guide for 1 cent. She paid for them and was proceeding to leave the store when the manager stopped her to check her receipt. He then said that she could not leave the store because theyt do not sell anything for 1 cent, and that it was a price mistake. He then removed the guides from the bag. My sister off course complained, because the shelf even had a price on it saying those guides were only once cent. It was even labeled one cent on the shelf. Finally after a half hour and talking to 3 different CSRs, the store manager said she could have them for free and refunded the cost of the guides, a whopping 3 cents. But by then the guides had disappeared, and my sis left the store empty handed.

My guess is one of the store employees kept them for himself, sucks big time cause I really wanted that Final Fantasy Guide.

I've never had a problem getting a penny guide at Best Buy (unlike at EB and especially CompUSA).

If they had the one cent price tag on the shelves, then there is no way they should have denied you that purchase.
 
Last night I stopped by the Clackamas location of BB. I didn't see the guides I really wanted like SH4 and FFXI. I asked an employee about penny guides, he didn't know what I was talking about, then I asked if they had SH4 (why didn't I remember FFXI?) in the back and he said no. So I pulled out guides I wanted and the ones I could remember from this thread and took them to him cause he started walking around with a hand scanner.

Regular Price:
Paper Mario 2
Pikmin 2
X-Men Legends
Star Wars Battlefront
Legend of Zelda: 4 Swords

PENNY!:
Psi-Ops
MGS: TS
Onimusha 3
Van Hesling

I took two of each penny guide! Psi Ops and MGS were the ones I wanted, the spares for all the others, I will be willing to trade for FFXI, SH4, and Burnout 3!

Cost me a whopping 8 cents! The female cashier and I were giggling when she said "ok your order is.. eight cents!"

I want an FFXI guide like no other! About SH4 and Bunrout 3, it's not that important since I don't own the games yet. But I am a total n00b in FFXI and would like the guide so badly. I keep going back to this one GameStop in Gateway, because they still have this Fall 2003 version of the FFXi guide still in stick, and I still get the price checked every damn time I go there, it is STILL $19.99!

So please send me a PM if you want to trade for Onimusha 3 (two copies), Psi-Ops (one copy), MGS: TS (one copy), and Van Hesling (two copies) for an FFXI guide, or Burnout 3 and SH4. I would be very grateful! And send UPS!

EDIT: I've traded the Onimusha 3 and MGS: TS guides. I'm heading out to another Best Buy on Monday and seeing if I can pick up more. Still DESPERATE for FFXI. :lol:
 
So I go to BB in Kennesaw. I found Spider-Man 2, Syphon Filter:TOS, Burnout 3 and a couple of others. The employee in games OFFERS to check toe price. Cool, that never happens. After scanning them and seeing the price, says "oh, man, I thought I bought all of these". I say "do you want to trade any of yours?" He replies, "No, I traded all of mine for store credit at XYZ games store." He said he bought about 25-30 total. I stood there and contemplated how much fun it would be to smack him around for a while. I refrained and went and bought my guides.
 
@ofacto: The Best Buy broke the law and store policy. You can't tell someone that something that has already been purchased has to be returned.

She should call corperate. They will give her a $100 gift card and fire the manager.

Ok thanks for the info, we already tried calling the store to complain but they kept on putting us on hold. I guess contacting corporate will be our next step. She doesn't remember the manager's name, but it really embarrassing for her because the store was packed and the employees really caused a scene.

In that case, I would definately call corporate. They were wrong by refusing to let your sister leave with the guides, but they were REALLY wrong by humiliating her in front of everyone. It shouldn't be too hard for corporate to figure out who the manager was, if you give them the store number she went to. At minimum, they owe her a nice apology, and a gift card sure wouldn't hurt. However, if the Best Buy stores selling penny guides are going against corporate policy, they'll be clued into what's happening and may put a stop to the practice. I'm not saying your sister shouldn't complain, I'm just speculating about how long we'll get this nice bonanza of penny guides before it comes to a stop again.
 
I just went to my BestBuy and the guy there pissed me off. I had FF XI, Ninja Gaiden, and Burnout 3 in hand to buy (the guides). I went to buy them and got to the register. The guy scaned them and told me that I cannot buy them because there is something wrong. He says that they show up for a penny so I cann't buy them. I said if it shows up for a penny each, that isn't that what they cost. He says that is impossible. There was a long line so he told me to go to customer service if I wanted to argue. I go over there but I see that the line is huge, so I just put the guides back :(.

Did Ninja Gaiden actually scan for a penny? Early last week it scanned for $14.99.

We haven't called corporate yet, I didn't think about then stoping the one cent thing, I thought the prices instore we set by some sort of central computer and the prices are the same nationally. That's why when there's a price mistake at Best Buy it proprogates thru the system and we all rush to our nearest Best Buy to get the item before they find out. If the store itself wants to sell it at a different price they have to put a big yellow sticker on the item and then fill out that yellow form at check out.

Anyways we are going to try calling the store again to complain, hopefully they will pick up, if not we actually go back there.
 
I picked up these guides from CompUSA yesterday for 88 cents each:

Pokemon Trading Card Game
WWF Smackdown 2: Know Your Role
Monster Rancher 3
Star Wars Episode 1 Racer
Perfect Dark
007 The World Is Not Enough
Digimon: Digimon World
Driver 2
Tekken Tag Tournament
 
You might get a 10 dollar gift card for your trouble. But the employees were just doing their job:

http://www.pocketpcaddict.com/modules.php?name=ForumNews&id=4182

I don't know if you heard about the "devils" and "angels" policy. This is where employees are instructed to treat bargain shoppers "devils" like crap in order to make them go away.

With that attitude you have to treat Best Buy like a hot war zone. You go in, get your item, anticipate vigorous resistance until you reach your extraction point.

I used to take it personally when the employees would treat me like crap for a price match. Now I see it's corporate policy.

Except in this case the employees actually broke the law, by preventing my sister from leaving the store with items she actually paid for and then insisting that she return them.

That's very interesting. I guess I'm a devil, because I never pay full price for anything. I always use coupons and look for bargains. I just bought a video camera from BB with a 12% off coupon and no interest for 2 years. If they don't want me shopping there, they shouldn't offer deals like that. If they charged full price, I would never darken their door step again.
 
The Prima Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow is a penny at BB, the xbox one is still full price. Other then a few spiderman 2's and shark tales my BB was picked pretty clean.
 
[quote name='qazz11']anybody know where I can find tales of symphonia guide for a penny or any low price[/quote]

You might be able to find a used copy at GameStop for $2.
 
It would actually be $4. Gamestop sell PS2 and GBA guides at $2, and Xbox and Gamecube guides at $4. I have no idea why there's a price difference though.
 
I've actually gotten some multiple platform and Xbox guides for $1.99. I go to my GameStops often to look at their stocks. It seems to depend on how old it is. A N64 guide for Jet Force Gemini was $1.99, Chronicles of Riddick for Xbox was $3.99, and Indiana Jones for Xbox was $1.99. Weird, but I don't complain. Heh.
 
Gamestop lowered the trade in prices on guides again. :(

PS2-->.25
Gameboy Advance--> .25
Gamecube--> .50
XBOX-->.50


Man, I miss the good ol' days when .25 cents worth of TRU penny guides was enough to get something like Silent Hill or Marvel vs Streetfighter.

I just got the sudeki prima guide for $2 and it was marked $4.
 
@ofacto: The FTC says that once money has been accepted by the cashier, the purchase becomes a binding contract that only the buyer can overturn. Once the store demanded that she give the guide back, they broke several laws.

When they told her she had to give the guide back, they commited a crime known as Unlawful Sales, Recepit, and Pricing Practice. You can't tell a person that bought a product that you messed up the price and they actually owe more. Legally, they can't seek to reclaim loss money. In fact, it's against the law to even ask for the product back or pay the difference. The penalty for this is very severe: A fine of up to $500,000 and a loss of business license. If the act was commited by means of Corperate Policy, then the fine could be more severe, and you could wind up winning millions in a class action lawsuit.

When they took the guide away from your sister, they commited Illegal Commerical Trading practice, and likely petty theft too. The person that took the guide back could go to jail for the petty theft and recieve a fine of up to $5,000. The store could get fined up to $50,000 and have their license removed.

Best Buy's corperate WILL NOT remove the penny guides on a national level, so I would fight this. Considering the that they made a scene and treated your sister as if she was a theif, you have a multi-million dollar lawsuit on your hands.
 
I hit the penny guide motherlode all day yesterday. It started at TRU at Jantzen Beach in Oregon. I scanned every damn guide that TRU had. Some were half price about $7.49 or $3.49 but I'm not paying that high for them. But all the "evil" Rockstar guides were pennies! I cleared out their whole stock of penny guides. Two Max Payne 2 guides and five Manhunt guides. These are for trade if anybody wants them.

The check out went well, only paid five cents cause I knew the Max Payne 2 guides were half off a penny, making them free. I bought two Max Payne 2 guides there last week or so. Then when I went up to this video game nazi manager to ask if she had Sword of Mana and Maximo: Army of Zin in her bulletproof video game booth, she started getting mad at me for buying the penny guides. I came across this nazi once before, late in the week of the first week of the Green Tag TRU sale back in August. She gave me crap for wanting the penny guides then too. Then I remembered what you guys have been saying about Ofacto's sister, I told this damn nazi that I already BOUGHT them. She looked at my reciept and yelled at my poor cashier, who was totally sweet! When the games I wanted to price check came up higher that I thought, I RAN out of that store clutching those guides to my chest! Damn, that woman gave me A LOT of crap for buying it. She was saying, "oh we can't sell those" and I said right back at her "then why are they on the shelves?!" SHe BSed me and said it was stock. She said the same crap back in August too. SO no way in hell I'm going back to that TRU while that nazi woman is working there. She gives video games a bad name.

Also in the area, I went into CC and found a Final Fantasy Tactics Advance guide that didn't have a price on it and took it to the cashier with my CC glitch test games (and another game I did want and ended up keeping). It rang up at $10.98 so I decided to keep it because I REALLY needed it! There was one left at the Jantzen Beach location if any Portland Metro Area locals want it.

Drove awhile more to get to the Aiport Way Best Buy. Where they actually MARKED the shelves of the prices of the penny (also 2 cent and nickel guides). The store was PACKED and there was barely any room in the aisles. I was determined and started digging and came up with one FFXI and two Silent Hill 4 guides! Actually when I found the FFXI guide (which I've been REALLY wanting) I started jumping up and down right there with it. I got a lot of weird stares, but people in that store are freaks. All the guides that were marked as a penny were TOTALLY gone. I even asked two employees if they had guides in the back. But they don't, all their guides are on the shelves, disorganized and crap looking. At least at Clackamas, they actually BOTHER to shelve them neatly in alphabetical order.

Later in the day, I stopped by my local GameStop near Holgate on 82nd. I picked up the Fable guide (includes poster) for $1.99! I remember it was $3.99 for a few weeks and nobody wants it. It seems like I am the ONLY person in the Portland area that even bothers to buy the used guides.

All in all, I had a totally excellent penny guide day. The spare guides I picked up yesterday are for trade of course! Since I'm already getting Silent Hill 4 from another CAGer, the two Silent Hill 4 guides I bought are up for trade. Along with two Van Heslings, one Psi-Ops, one Fable, two Max Payne 2s, and five Manhunts. I would post to the trading forum, but I'm just willing to trade with the penny guiders. PM as usual.
 
sarkenobi: Glad to see you finally got your FFXI guide.

As for people with bad experience, I tried buying penny guides at TRU and 2 Best Buy and have good experience. The people at TRU were even willing to look for copies in the stockroom. The only time I ahd trouble was at EB, and they were making up some crap on that being a price mistake and willing to sell it for half price.
 
That TRU was the only bad experience I had with looking for penny guides. It's just that one DAMN WOMAN. I'm not going there ever again cause it's so ghetto. All the other places I look for penny guides have been totally nice. Hell, I even leave copies at some places for my other Portlander CAGs. If I take them all, well I'll only be trading them on CAG only.
 
Just a question which is probably really stupid but, do the guides have to say 1 cent on them, or will they ring up at that price? Im asking because my BB has a ton of FFXI guides and SH 4 guides all priced as normal... As well as Pokemon Ruby/Saphire. Thanks :).
