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.

Hopefully you can find them as the opening manager is supposed to ring them through the register and destroy them that day, but if they don't, its a score for you.[/QUOTE]

Thanks for the update... I've given up on ever getting a penny guide from Gamestop, since they are always on the ball when it comes to this type of stuff.

I'd have loved to get most of those guides, though, espically that Killer 7 one.

Yes, I'm new, so I've wasted a lot of money until I found this wonderous site. I was wondering if anyone actually sold these guides to other CAGs. This seems like one of those answers that's really obvious, but I have no clue either way.
If anyone is selling these guides (obviously not for a penny,) please give me a quote:
Oh yeah, Xbox versions preferred (but not necessary) for those that are multiplatform.

Fable
GTA: SA
FF7/8/9/X-2
KOTOR I/II
Beyond Good & Evil

[quote name='62t']just one thing i dont think there is any game guide for Fatal Frame 1 or 2.[/QUOTE]

I can pretty much confirm that. I've been looking for those guides for a long time and the only ones I've ever seen were the Japanese versions. You'll probably have to use Gamefaqs. Unfortunately, the last time I looked they didn't have any walkthroughs for the Xbox versions which is what I have. If anybody knows where I can find walkthroughs for Fatal Frame 1 & 2-Xbox please PM me (and invinceable104). Thanks.
 
[quote name='62t']just one thing i dont think there is any game guide for Fatal Frame 1 or 2.[/QUOTE]

I had the exact same question. I just looked on froogle and the only 2 items that came up were Japanese for FF Zero and FF III.

If there were U.S. guides it would be news to me. Funny how a series like this where it would be useful doesn't have one yet a game like Billy Hatcher or Viewtiful Joe 2 does.

Miracle of miracles. I picked up Killer 7 at a Gamestop and it was tagged at 0.01. The cashier let me have it for free. I did ask about why it was tagged at 0.01 and he informed me that an employee was going to keep it, but found he already had a copy so it was just laying around. Normally, they are on the ball and pitch all the penny guides, but I was lucky to find one without any issues.
 
It's been a while since we've seen any penny action from EB... any body have any idea when we can expect something from them (about how often do we see guides pennied out from them)?


And as always, cehck my list for any guides you may be looking for ;)
 
I picked up one copy of Pirates, Matrix Online, LotR: Battle for Middle Earth, and Destroy All Humans.
They had several older ones, including about 20 copies of Call of Duty.

Also, on several of the guides, including Episode 3 and GTA they had stickers with UPCs on the front, along with the real ($1X.XX) price of the guide written next to it. Has anyone seen this before?

I haven't seen this before. Maybe they are trying to sell them for full price?
 
I went to BB yesterday after attempting, a few weeks ago, to hide a couple of guides and having them found. At the bottom of the guides section were copies of MoH: EA and SW: Ep 3. HA!:twisted: Devil customer wins again. I always enjoy watching the cashier scan the guide 2-3 times then just shrugging their shoulders and continuing.

BTW, wannabepunktony just traded me a MoH: EA guide. Oh, well, now I have a copy to trade. CML, look at my want list and make me an offer.
 
[quote name='Nutts']I'd be interested in trading for Arc The Lad, or Shining Tears if anyone can get an extra.[/QUOTE]

I'd be interested in Shining Tears, but something tells me EB actually does a better job than other stores at trashing their guides. ^_~
 
[quote name='62t']hmm it is almost end of the month. What could BB penny out next?[/QUOTE]

I was in there today and I was thinking the same thing. And you know what, there's pretty much nothing left to penny out! Apart from the 50+ copies of the Halo 2 guide, which I'm guessing just won't drop, the oldest strategy guide there was Darkwatch, followed by Rainbow Six Lockdown. So unless BB are going to penny out guides that have only been out for 2 months, it might be slim pickings for a while. We still might see a bunch of PC guides get dropped though, who knows.

I have an extra of the following for those interested (I'll be making an official list later, I finally have enough to warrant one)

Star Fox Assault (X2)
Mega Man X Command Mission
Coded Arms
Killer 7
Killzone (X3)

I'm looking for Shining Tears mainly. Also, if anyone has a Star Ocean 3 they don't want, I would really like that as well. I managed to find an arc the lad and Zelda Minish Cap also, but those aren't up for trade.
 
I have added the following guides on my trade list:
Mega Man X Command Mission
Coded Arms
Brother in Arms: Road to Hill 30
Arc the Lad: End of Darkness

I am looking for Shining Tears and will trade multiple guides for it.

I think it's time for a new thread with the new stuff in the past couple of months added into the posts per store.

Floormat, time for a new one?
 
Dang, I was in EB and the manager was tossing a ton of guides . . . I asked if I could have some and he said OK but watch out because the DM coming in . . . I started to dig in and then boom . . . there's the DM . . . I had to back off and wait for him to go out to his car but I had to hurry to get to my son's Halloween party at school.

So, I got a few:

Musashi Samurai Legend
Half Life PC
Arc The Lad End of Darkness
Advent Rising
Street Fighter Anniversary w/free Soundtrack
Pariah
Coded Arms
Myst End of Ages
Megaman Command Mission X
Metal Gear Acid
Unreal Championship II
Madagascar
Vampire Bloodlines
THUG 2

I literally had 45 seconds to dig through this bag . . . I don't know if some others were available and I hadn't seen a list.

Crap! now I remember that Metal Gear Solid 3 Limited Edition was on the counter and I was going to ask about it . . . but there was NO TIME! it really was cool and sucked at the same time.

I'm guessing singles of those only? :cry: No extras?
 
So this was Odd. Mind you there were 2 EB's in the same mall. First one i went to had nothing - except Xenosaga 2 so i took those up to the counter and they rang up at 16.99. So i was like "Uhh, i thought these were a penny"
"No, the limited edition one was a penny - ill get you one."
"Do you have more"
"Yea"
And he brings out a whole stack.


The other EB store - Has guides still on the floor. Bring them up, and the guy won't sell it to me. MAtrix Online the game was a penny and wouldnt sell it. He called his DM who obviously said they can't sell them.
As far as I'm concerned, if they have merchandise on the floor, it should be available for purchase. Their own fault if they leave it there.
 
Gah!!!! I was in there Last night!!! ugh Now I have to see if they have them and convince the employees to let me have them..... oi!
 
If anyone can get me a Tales of Symphonia guide from EB, that would be incredibly awesome and very much appreciated, and I'd easily give you $5 + for one.

I got a few doubles and some of the singles might be for trade . . . I'll have to decide what to do later. But people can PM me if they are hot for something. Not much I'm looking for but I'll look at lists (especially unusual stuff).
 
got extra Shadow Heats, Mega Man Command Misison, Arc the Lad, Killer 7, Musashi Samurai Legend, Street Fighter Anniversary, Full Metal A s well as other guides mentioned. Will trade for tales of symphonia.


Also got 1 Metal Gear Solid 3 LE that I will trade for Xenosaga II LE

Also add Swat 4 PC to the list. The regular Xenosaga is not pennied out.

They only had one of those - ill write up my list of goodies in a bit after dinner....most will be up for trade.
 
Damn, I tried to stop back on my way into my night class. But the manager was gone and the night guy didn't know anything. I check the dumpster on the outside but didn't see anything.

Had the DM not come by or I had had more time, I bet I would have gotten more guides. A nice haul but still

fuck

oh man.... trade only?
 
I had about 20 guides in hand, 2 copies of some at most, and I went to go get them rung out.

The cashier rung the first one out and she paused, trying to scan multiple barcodes on the back. When she finally scanned it numerous times and it kept coming up at $0.01, she manually changed the price to $14.99. :shock:

I asked her why she's doing it, and she said that the guide should be $14.99. I about dropped my jaw to the floor and told her that if it scans out at a penny, shouldn't it be a penny? She looked blankly at me and said that she couldn't sell them to me at a penny, because her manager said she couldn't do it. :cry:

Nice big stack of guides and denied. :cry: I've never seen this rep at that EB at the mall and I guess she's new. Real new. :whistle2:s I told her that not all EB's destroy guides and sell 'em at a penny. She recited the "I can't sell 'em for a penny, my manager said so" routine again, so I think it's time to call the RM I have the card for and see what he says. :D
 
I'll pay anyone six bucks for either a Killer 7 or Tales of Symphonia guide shipped... that is like 2 gallons of gas, easy, cmon someone, I have nothing to trade =/

And, if the guides had been visible in the dumpster, I would have climbed in . . . I am sooooo sick.

Just sucks that I could have had the score of a lifetime (guide wise) but the DM was there. Read the story in an earlier post . . . but luckily the DM was parked the other direction (mall wise) so the manager who let me take the guides told me to shield the pile (17 guides) with my body as I headed out.

It was literally like a movie scene. What's cool about it is that this guy was doing his job but he is such a gamer that he hates to see the stuff go to waste.
 
I found the following guides and have added thme to my trade list.
I am still looking for a Shining Tears guide if anyone has one to trade?

BloodRayne 2
Unreal Championship 2
Killer 7
Metal Gear Acid
THUG 2
Spiderman 2
Advent Rising
Street Fighter : Anniversary Collection w/ Soundtrack!
Madagascar
Arc the Lad : End of Darkness
Coded Arms
Samurai Legend Musashi
Ratchet and Clank : Up your Arsenal
Juiced


Again, I am looking for the recently pennied Shining Tears guide, if anyone has one to trade.

Thanks
