Just a note, but I don't see the New Vegas CE guide online anymore. We'd need someone to check though if lox/frosty can't check this morning.
 
F it. Just ordered 3 SW:TFU for instore pickup from the only store that shows it in stock... Since I struck out entirely the last 2 times, I figure I'll try this route...
 
Star Wars 2 is now a dead link, but I ordered Dr and metroid for shipping, glad it doesn't look to be a Mega drop b/c I'm out of town..
 
[quote name='gauu']really poor lackluster drop. only good one is fallout new vegas. heres hoping that is on the drop.[/QUOTE]
We don't really know the whole list yet. It is uncommon for the guides to be a penny on the website, and even then it is not usually every guide in a drop. There is still a pretty good chance there are more guides dropping today that have been missing from the website for a while now.

EDIT: Hoping to hear from some adventurous east coasters soon. I am going out at lunchtime to price some guides.

I agree with you that theres a chance there are more guides. It's not very uncommon that they're a penny on a website. It's uncommon that we didn't have a warning about this drop and it's uncommon that we don't have a complete list yet. I was hoping to hear from an east coaster who goes to one of the Best Buy stores that open at 9am instead of 10am. Probably not that many people know about this drop yet because we didn't have a warning.
 
Can confirm that there was a drop today. Don't have a list though, and won't have time to compile one anytime soon.

I can tell you that New Vegas CE is still full price however.
 
We have been lucky to get good info lately, but I remember many drops where we were all buying blind and reporting our finds. Also, I think guides have been a penny on the website maybe 3 times in the last 3 years. It used to be the norm that they would drop from the site and that would give us a list to scan when there was a potential drop.
 
This got its own separate thread in case some of you hadn't seen it, so good luck. Unfortunately I neglected to finish my in store pickup this morning before I left for work and by the time I got there, everything was unavailable for shipping or pickup :\ Guess I'll try to see if there's a copy in store later.

Thanks for keeping us informed. We appreciate it. Sorry to hear the news about the new vegas CE.

Thank you for your work. This was the only one I was interested in.
You just saved me time, and gas . . . and maybe the planet.
 
Guess I'll be making a BB run once the ferrier finishes taking care of the horses - in the offchance I fail today, can someone keep a Force Unleashed 2 CE guide aside for me?
 
[quote name='Mistar Muffin']Is it the regular dead rising guide that pennied? I saw several but I don't think the sku matched so I didn't try.[/QUOTE]


regular this time, but the ce had pennied sometime ago.
 
Yeah I still have a few copies of the DR2 CE still sitting around from the drop many months ago. Funny how that works, all this time later the regular drops.

that usually how it works. The LE/CE drop first
 
Someone ordered the guides I wanted for store pickup (I saw 5 stacks of guides at the CS counter...I hate living in a SD and CAG heavy area. :headache:

I got there at open and managed to find 3 Pokemon guides that were actually marked .01 via shelf tag.
 
looks like I have access to all but two guides according to the store locator, so here's hoping. I wish the ferrier would hurry up....
 
Tried 3 stores that all showed stock, they all pulled so I gave up for now. I might head out later and try again. Nothing I need from this drop, but would be nice to find a SWFU II or Dead Rising 2 guide.
 
[quote name='nixmahn']Has anyone been able to check dragon age origins?[/QUOTE]

I think Dead Space 2 is another candidate for checking...

Wait Red Dead is another good candidate that I wanted that no one has reported
