A funny thing was that my BB had a Diddy Kong Racing guide still for $2.99 and it rang up that way too.

Anyways, has anyone seen Final Fantasy:CC for $0.01 yet?

Dunno about Socom II, I just decided to have the cashier scan it based on kuyax's earlier comments. NFS: U was a penny previously. The price of these guides do indeed go back to full MSRP after a while. Another example was when I saw Shinoibi and WWE Smackdown: Shut Your Mouth last time at BB, and both rang up at $14.99 by now.

I might have an extra copy of XIII, if I had picked one up before. Yesterday, there was exactly one guide for everything that I found at BB.

Still full price, and if I have to guess, it will take this one a minimum of 3 months before the price will drop. All the other Square game guides, such as those for Final Fantasy X, X-2, and Kingdom Hearts, all took forever to drop in price.

If you can find an extra copy of Mario and Luigi, I'll glady take it off your hands

Sorry, as mentioned above, I was only able to get one copy of everything.

For shame

Blast! I went to my local BestBuy earlier today to check on guides, and they had NONE. They got rid of them all. I guess next time I'm near another BB I'll have to remember to check.

I am looking to trade some guides. Here's what I have:

Brute Force (2 copies)
Donkey Kong Country
Hulk
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Secret Weapons over Normandy
Tomb Raider: Angel of Darkness (2 copies)

And here's what I'm looking for (in order of preference from highest to lowest):

Zelda: Wind Waker
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
Kingdom Hearts
Dark Cloud 2
Metroid Prime/Metroid Fusion
Timesplitters 2
Fire Emblem
Silent Hill 3
Tony Hawk Underground
Syphon Filter 3

Email me if interested in a trade.

From cheapassgamer.com, there are also lots of penny guides available at EB and TRU.

I don't have my password to sign in there and get the full list, but TRU has a pretty impressive selection of guides usually.

I bought a few for a penny today: Counterstrike, Mission Impossible, Sphinx.

Brought this thread back from the dead. There are several recent and older guides that have dropped in price to a few cents, if anyone's interested. I picked up six today. Here's the list I got from VG Talk:
