First off, let me welcome you all to the new guide thread. Second, I'd like to ask you all to please keep conversations not pertaining to guide drops to a minimum to avoid cluttering the thread. It's not that I don't enjoy the chit chat, but that it may stop others from locating information on the newest drops.

That being said, let me thank Cheapy for creating this site, without which I would've spent probably 10 times what I HAVE spent on games and guides. Moreover, let me thank each and every one of my fellow CAGs for continuing to contribute to making this site a great place to find out about sales and clearances of the items we as gamers use most. Without a great community, NONE of this would be possible.

Now, with that out of the way(and before I get to rambling), let's get on to making this new thread.

What is the purpose of this thread?

The purpose of this thread is to let our fellow CAGs know when a guide has dropped to a low price(it's NOT ALWAYS A PENNY), so they can go out and grab guides for themselves and for trading with other CAGs.

Anytime you have guide drops to report, post them here. Please specify at which store you found them and which guides you found and list them in alphabetical order. Thank you.

If at all possible, when reporting guides that dropped please list them in RED. Thanks again.


What are penny guides?

Penny guides are guides which have been on the market for a while and the publisher(or store chain) decide that the remaining stock of these guides have little to no chance of selling, so they issue an order to pull them from the shelves and destroy them. At that time, they are also marked as .01 in their inventory system, except in the case of BBV, which marks them .01 only AFTER pulling them.

Most stores have an agreement with the publisher that states that if they destroy the remaining stock of those items, they will receive a credit for their value from the publisher. This is why many stores are usually annoyed when we CAGs come in and buy the guides AT the penny price, since otherwise they would've received a credit for those items.

According to an employee at a local BB, they also have a recycling program for the pennied stock, so as to not clutter landfill space with the guides. As to how true it is, I cannot confirm, but I would hope that the paper is at least recycled instead of just dumpstered.

Thanks to floormat, Guinaevere and anyone else who has created and maintained the guide thread before, as well as to all of those who find out either advance information on drops or provide a list of which ones dropped when we do have a drop.

The post below this one contains a list going back at LEAST six months of the more current guide drops, which stores they occured at and which ones dropped. Note that sometimes(Oblivion guide, Quake Wars: Enemy Territory)there are multiple versions of a guide, be it that there are Prima versions, Brady versions and the occasional Nintendo and Doublejump guides.

Please specify WHICH version has dropped when mentioning possible guide drops. Thank you.

Since the guides and items that drop at various stores often have their pages deleted before they drop I figured it'd be a good idea if we had a SKU list for the guides/items that dropped. On the Best Buy price stickers this is usually found underneath the price.

It's been said in the title already, but READ THE OP folks.

If you don't read the OP, then don't blame us if you can't get in on this deal or try to get guides from a store they didn't drop at yet for a penny.:razz:

With that said, welcome to the new thread and try to keep the clutter to a minimum this time.:roll:

Yes. I just rebooted it on New Years.

Old thread was locked due to OT...

But EVERY deal thread goes OT, so I still don't see the reason why the last guide thread was just nuked for that when the Sears/Kmart/TRU/Target threads get OT all the time.

Learn the lesson, cut the OT chatter and post only if it's directly relevant to guide drops.

This could be a bad day to change threads if there is a Monday drop and no one can find the new thread. Maybe a mod can put a link in the last post of the old thread to the new one.

Please keep non-drop chatter to a MINIMUM! Thread 12 was closed because too many people were posting OT.

I vote for a mod warning for the first OT post for a user, then temp-banning. And yes, noob questions like "what are penny guides and how do I get them?" would be considered OT. EDIT: that's pretty much all I consider to be OT, other than posts like "tagged" :D

By this logic then half or more of the posts in other deal threads should be deleted and even both of your posts(and this one) should be deleted because they're ALL off topic.;) Just saying....

:D IATCG, just a suggestion, you should just lock this thread, update it when drops occur and use the discussion thread to discuss and go OT as much as we all want. If we're subscribed to this thread, wouldn't we get an update if you updated a post in here?

If not, then just ignore me if I had asked,"Did AC:Brotherhood CE dropped at Best Buy too?"

Only problem is, I don't think I have the proper permissions to unlock a thread after I've locked it on my own. Otherwise I'd do that after posting in the last post for people to use the discussion thread.

By this logic then half or more of the posts in other deal threads should be deleted and even both of your posts(and this one) should be deleted because they're ALL off topic.;) Just saying....


I'm just proposing we establish what exactly is defined to be OT in order to avoid getting closed down again. And that we establish actual consequences to going OT.

That's just my two cents, and now I'll stay quiet about this topic

Yes. I just rebooted it on New Years.

But EVERY deal thread goes OT, so I still don't see the reason why the last guide thread was just nuked for that when the Sears/Kmart/TRU/Target threads get OT all the time.


I agree, seemed a little heavy handed to me. The Kmart thread is basically the OT board in disguise.

Since there's no drop on-going, how about we let the conversation die down until we have something?

Regardless, there's a discussion thread that is the place to discuss other items related to guides that aren't drop-related.

I agree. This sounds like a good plan.

Edit: Oh crap, I just bumped the darn thread.

All the guides are still on the website right now(Nothing has disappeared), meaning there must be a pre-pull notice. Hope I can manage to beat my Bestbuy at least.

For a little preview, the LE's of Final Fantasy XIII, Dead Rising 2, Mario Galaxy 2, and Medal Of Honor are on the list.

I'll post it once things slow down here.
