Mind the neglected pool table. I'm getting it cleaned soon.

And, a cool little James Dean poster I picked up at Sanity.

I'm thinking about that Walkthrough Book. Being a MGS4 n00b, I think I need one.

But $49.95 for the hard-cover version ($39.95 for the soft I think) ... should I? Should I not? ><

$50 is the biggest waste of money just for a guide book.

Just wait until somebody puts the guide book up on the internet, or just wait for a website like Gamespot to make their walkthrough for MGS4.

Sounds like a good idea. Thanks PStriple3. I'll check eBay more often in a few weeks time ... and keep an eye out for Gamespot. Hope there's screenshots

All other websites make walkthrough's for the game also. IGN and such, although it is better to have the actual book, it is definitely not worth $50, I wouldn't even pay $20 or $30 for it.

Yes it is worth it. I don't normally buy gameguides, but this one has been made side by side with the development and has everything. It even tells you that the guide isn't necessary for a first-timer and first-time play, but I recommend it for anyone playing on the tougher difficulties.

I think walkthroughs ruin a game. O.K., use it whenever you get stuck, but then what happens is you start to rely on it for even minor things...Better just to work it out yourself and get the satisfaction of progressing through the game by yourself, and not having to rely on someone else. Anyway, each to his own, but MGS4 doesn't look like a really hard game to me, just looks like an awesome 3rd person stealth/action game.

Gaetano: I picked up exactly the same as you

Guys, I know you'll be able to get walkthrus/guides off the net, this is a hardcover ltd ed guide (just like the FFXII one if anyone remembers it...) with a ltd (out of 43000 worldwide) edition litograph included... vera small price to pay... also if you're buying the game, you get 20% off the price, so $40 + $99 (pricematch) @ eb = win for me!

PS. As with the MGO Beta, I should hopefully be up to 20hrs in mgo after the weekend... so MyPS3 Clan can be created again... any creative name/emblem ideas?

What's that, if you buy the LE guide with MGS4 you get 20% off? Would I be able to get 20% off later, since when I went this morning they didn't have the guide yet.

I'm thinking of purchasing MGS4 from them again (the guy offered me a $99 price tag), get the 20% discount off the guide.

Then return the MGS4 game again to a different EB store, get $105 store credit ...

Keep the guide, which you got 20% off. Would that work?

Yup! It should work! I even got em to pricematch jb's price LOL! If you end up doing it, don't forget the Saga DVD

Winnie: it should, just bring your proof of purchase in (ie. Reciept)

*EDIT* OMG! The Everyday Together [Mainichi Issho - look it up on GameFAQs] (jpn news/game thingy) news article on MGS4 is hilarious (and very cute)!!! Make me wish even more that I knew japanese

Who has the MGS4 Guidebook? What kind of information does it have?
Does it only tell you where all the items are which can help you etc?

I just want to know what kind of helpful information it contains ... because I need guidance in this game haha.

Yessss... that's the one I bought this morning... and it had a sticker on it saying "20% off with purchase of game"

Normal Price = $49.95, reduced to $40 (approx.)...

My litograph number is 1956/43000 what's yours?
