c).  This will definitely be the 1st (and possibly the only) hardcover Disgaea strategy guide.

I'm expecting that the game's gonna be fun as hell, though - guide or no guide :)

Well, damn, now I kinda want it.  Hardcover = classy!

Yes indeedy!

Doublejump did great guides for 1-3, then, Prima (I think) did its usual job on the one for 4.

If by usual you mean half assed.  I would have got the guide but the extra $20 was it was just that much over the top.  Well to be honest I had two $5 coupons I had to redeem just to get the other down to $74.95.

By "usual", I certainly did mean "half-assed"; as I was feeling generous  ;)

I *did* make a mistake, though...it was Brady -not- Prima that did it...doesn't change a thing about what I said, though :)

My 1st experience w/ a Brady guide was for FF-X-2 (and I noticed it didn't ever even mention and/or map) the *ENTIRE* "Chocobo Dungeon"...standard Brady/Prima/half-assed guide  :o

I just picked up mine, and the manager put aside the display box for me, too!

also, @soera, I think I might have 3 copies total when all is said and done... Let me know if your situation changes for the better later on!

Score!  Not only did I get my SMT IV pre-order, but the manager of my GameStop had saved back the cardboard display for me!

(Don't you love cool GS employees, Desocietas?  ;) )

Final fantasy IX strategy guide.  I remember buying it.  Then damn near burning the thing because when I was growing up my family didn't have a computer much less the internet.  I couldn't believe I paid $20 for that thing.
