Okies I'll see what I can do art books wise

I was just using that as an example of edition types although that outer slip cover / case could go in an Extras section,
Extras examples : BioShock infinite =key / Tomb raider = key / additional outer slip cover or packagings

[LowlyAssassin]

[asiak75]

If you need any support let me know...Finally something I can relate to...good job so far!!!

[SwiftDeath]

Very Nice Coma

Def nice to see this sort of thing for collectors like me

I'm curious do you just plan on posting new guides (guides to be released)?

Or are you going to work on a backlog of older guides too?

all and any guides i can find, will post another today when i get a quick break at work in the second format i am thinking of listing it like

the only thing is the posts will not be in chronological order but the info will be there

[comaamen86]

metal gear rising is the second style i am thinking of laying this out like?
personally i prefer it , it is cleaner cut and o the point, but what do you prefer thoughts please

[SwiftDeath]

Looks good to me

Only suggestion would be to maybe add an amazon link or an ISBN number so its easy for people to find them

[comaamen86]

Looks good to me

Only suggestion would be to maybe add an amazon link or an ISBN number so its easy for people to find them

I was considering that for upcoming guides, but what threw me off the idea of linking to shops is price increase, when some sell out or have sold out

I dont want to link people to high prices and additionally there are so many places that sell them other than amazon to link all for each contry would be a very time consuming issue not to mention the possibility of them becoming dead links if the ite is removed

Yeah that's why I suggested the ISBN number because if you stick it in google it'll find all the info available and doesn't link to anyone place

Isbn is barcode? some have 2 on listings some have none i am not overly expereinced with them any guidance i would be grateful for

[comaamen86]

cheers for the idea swifty had a play around ISBN 10 is the one needed

all edition have this added now and updated to final format layout check em out lots of extra content on some of the se

[LowlyAssassin]

I like this format
Did you decide to drop hardcover?
I know most are hard cover's but a rare few are not


It must be just me but I prefer picture then text as I can see what I am reading about
Also when fast scanning a page I can see a pic of what interests me and continue down ; instead of heading back up
But the format for CE seems to be info then pics
So guess I'm the minority

yeh dropped hardcover if it is hardcover then will be addd if not i will mention it as paperback in description

yeah pics last to keep to tradition

Art books?
Hey
So I went too titan books
(Makers of art of ac3, halo 4 , dead space
Then found this out

Art Of - release list and reviews (http://www.parkablogs.com/content/video-game-art-books-list)

Then I thought
Does coma really want me to spend 2 days and just copy what's already there?

prob will do one for art books but in a good while will concentrate on guides and normal db stuff for the moment, if anyone else wants to take on the art books though that cool

[comaamen86]

i dont think there as many lmited edition variants of art books compared to strat guides which almost always seem to get ce versions these das

[LowlyAssassin]

did you not click the link?
problem is there are what 2 publishyers for strat guides
piggyback and brady games

the art of books
there are lots of publishers as some developers tend to make there own and get them self published
so it becomes harder to stay on top of
and that site i linked to has a list of all current art of video game books (official only i think)
and if i was to make one it would just be using there site or book repository as the wealth of knowledge
so seems a bit of just a duplication thing

had a look at the link there are others like art of dead space 3 collectors that was limited to a thousand

but what i am thinking is making a thread for all collectors books ie zelda sonic to beef it up a bit and rather than have just art books cover folios as well etc
every collectors book that is not a strat guide

[LowlyAssassin]

i see what you are saying
but short of constantly editing post 1
how do you suggest doing it?

[comaamen86]

keep this thread for strat guides, post one will always have to be edited to add new additions

and at some point do another thread for all other game collectors books

[SwiftDeath]

I for one think coma's approach seems the most reasonable

You have to start small and build with something like this

Glad you like the ISBN idea :D

Often times it's how I find a good price for an older CE strategy guide

I had a thought

Seeing as how you're familiar with spoiler tags, perhaps spoiler tag pictures of older CE guides to make the front page a shorter read?

Don't think spoilers are necessary for newer guides though as we should have some pretty pictures :rotf:

[LowlyAssassin]

I HAVE FIGURED IT OUT
OK FIRST POST IS A CONTENTS PAGE HYPER LINKING to each guide in a desperate post
Sorry for caps lock
as you should be aware you can link to individual posts by clicking there post number adnd copy and pasting it into true hyperlink box
example
Tomb raider guide (http://collectorsedition.org/forums/showpost.php?p=114747&postcount=34)
Becomes

Tomb raider guide (http://collectorsedition.org/forums/showpost.php?p=114747&postcount=34)

So it would look like the contents page of a book

[rapister]

cool idea
thanks for starting this
would be super useful

i can name a few from the top of my head

soul calibur 5
bayonetta
GOW 3

i will go through my collection later and see if i can add more

[Dreamcazman]

This will come in handy, thanks for getting this going.

I get most of my guides from the Book Depository, works out cheapest for me than Amazon. ;)

Just a couple of suggestions to add:

Assassin's Creed III
Borderlands 2
Batman Arkham City
Dark Souls
Uncharted 3

Incidentally, I did notice that there were two different versions of the Dark Souls CE guide. One was slightly smaller than the other and somehow felt inferior. Don't know if they contained the same number of pages as they were sealed.

[HIPPEEDUDE]

Found whats possibly another version of the Bioshock Infinite Limited Edition Guide. Personally i like this a whole lot more & hope this is what it looks like:)
http://i1152.photobucket.com/albums/p489/HIPPEEDUDE/bioshock_infinite_limited_edition_guide_zps1ad49f2 d.jpg

[comaamen86]

i think that may be the final art hippe, will add more guides in the next few days

[blockbusterboy]

That Infinite guide a couple of posts back looks great. Just hope it doesn't have the air pocket that afflicts my Tomb Raider guide every time I open it.

[comaamen86]

long over due bump gonna try and keep on top of this for refrence when i link it will be uk link if availible but i will add

ISBN-13: 978-0804161367 for each upcoming guide if you google the number it should take you to anywhere this guide is availible

Wow that's a great set

Bit worried they didn't give an official production number so likely based off pre-orders

Thanks for the heads up Canuck :thumb:

Thanks for the heads up, canuck! Can't think of any other guide compilations like this, I love it!

Thanks for the heads up Canuck :thumb:

No problem. For some reason, amazon.ca listed it at $129.77 while amazon.com is at $152.99. Usually it's the other way. :rotf:

That is odd

Ordered on amazon.com as I assumed it was the same price but changed order afterwards

Shipping was also cheaper from .ca over .com :dizzy:

This is probably the cheapest option to pre-order right now.

What is going on with the different Amazon sites?

Makes no sense to me why they would compete so heavily

Well if it makes you feel better, all prices seem to be turning about even now

It was weird though for sure

[canuckcollector]

I made one preorder on uk site at the lowest price. Factoring in the credit card exchange rate and potential customs, it may not be the cheapest after all.

Yeah think they didn't coordinate as much as they usually do

Amazon UK's price was likely a mistake

One that will be honored I'm sure :D

Keeping my Amazon CA order though in case Amazon UK pulls Zelda historia shenanigans again

Only certain retailers are doing it though:

I've got my preorder in at GAME xx

[CanisCanemEdit]

Thanks Jengo for the picture. Thanks Vhal for the added info.


I preordered the Legend of Zelda box via amazon uk, but am now worried that something will happen with my preorder. I'm not aware of what those shenanigans were and how it's affected other's orders. Has anyone ever had their order canceled because of this problem?

[Dr_Jengo]

I wonder if my local retailers will have it or should I order from Amazon US to be safe?

There were problems with the Final Fantasy Sky art book boxset and the legend of zelda historia especially with Amazon UK not filling pre-orders

I think vhal or cosmic could tell you more?

There were more instances as well but can't remember them

Amazon CA or US have better track records I think

[ceaddiction1228]

hey guys has anyone heard if there is going to be a collectors edition guide for final fantasy X/X-2 HD ?

[Letrico]

Whoa ancient thread for revived. I'm curious as well for ffx guide but I am actually pretty sad about bravely default not having a guide. I need a guide so bad that I missed edea's bikini

[ceaddiction1228]

Indeed about bravely default. . I didnt break any rules did I with this thread?

Good prices + free shipping, but bad packing :(

[Cosmic_Link]

Seriously!? Their packaging has always been overkill for everything I have ordered from them! XD

I had several bad experience with them - like:
The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia

Final Fantasy XIII-2 - The Complete Official Guide Collectors Edition
http://www.upload.ee/image/2116226/FFguide.jpg

+ some more :(
They always refunded money or sent new, but now I prefer to pay some extra to get undamaged copy.

Hey what do you guys do with your guides. Do you buy two and keep the collectors one sealed or do u use it and then show it off when your done?

I personally keep them sealed..only because I actually don't like to use guides for my games and if I have to use a guide or need help then there is always the internet lol

[King Peter]

I know that Eb Games have been reducing by half their price for stategy guide for both normal and CE. I got COD Ghost guide LE for 12$ :P

Ditto. I keep all CE guides sealed. I've bought extra copies when I wanted an exclusive DLCs like LR: FFXIII and Ni No Kuni.

[r3galbum]

Mm mine stays sealed until I finish the game and try to get 100% on everything.

Lucky SOB, mine was sealed in the worst way possible. The shrink wrap looked like it hadn't shrank at all, really loose and creased. I was always going to open it anyway though. Might try to get a nice sealed copy if they come down in price though.

Oh and we see you there lurking in the reflection :P

[ceaddiction1228]

Mine was shrinkwrapped beautifully as well. But tis opened now. I think ill just open anything sealed that ill use. . . And the stuff that I dont use will stay sealed until then . . .so right now my KH guide is the only one sealed lol
