Cheap Strategy Guides at Best Buy

I don't know if this is where to post it, but I work at Best Buy and I was putting out prices today and these were dirt cheap. I don't play games and I don't know if this will be of use to anyone, but here is the list of strategy guides for only $.01 each.

Tekken 5
Star Wars Republic Commando
Mercenaries
Resident Evil 4
Need for Speed Underground 2
Knights of the Old Repulic II
Jak 3
Fight Night 2
Xenosaga 2
Devil May Cry 3
Metal Gear Acid

There may be more, but the only ones I find out about ar ethe ones that we have in store.

Also to add, Psi-Ops for the PS2 was marked down to $4.99

Me too, which was weird, since they still have plenty of other guides (MK: Deception, Goldeneye, SW Battlefront, etc) that have been a penny for months.

Neither guide will be a penny for awhile, I assume, since both games are being re-released on other consoles.

When they open, I doubt they stock a penny guide. Might try and trade for one.

Picked up C&C Generals: Zero Hour guide for a penny a couple of weeks ago. By then I didn't really need it, but it seemed like such a bargain!

Was Splinter Cell, the one for Chaos Theory or one of the other titles in the series?

It's Chaos Theory. The Urbz and Minish Cap are also a penny.

Not really. Sports guides generally focus on plays and rosters, and even Madden '06 can be used with the 2005 guide. Either that, or some people that don't want to pay $50 for '06 and want to spend $10 for 2005.

The Collector's Edition of Madden 05 is still ringing up as $24.99 for the Strat Guide. Price checked it yesterday.

Yeah, I just listed them because they aren't in the first post and I saw them in the store today.

Didn't we used to have a thread where we kept an updated list of all the penny guides at BB, TRU, etc?

Just got Forza today. Don't know how useful it is (I mean c'mon, it's driving; use the gas, then the brake), but it sure looks nice.
