Anyone collect guidebooks?

Thanks tony,

I've always meant to look up what the bioshock guide look like without the slipcover. Mine's still sealed for now....

I usually open everything but worry with some guides that I'll lose the extra stuff. Be it lithographs or maps etc.

Dumb reason I know but I have yet to figure out a good way of keeping them all together.

but only collect the game I play




And still waiting to deliver : A.Creed 3 and Hitman Absolution

Interestingly this made me wonder what the first collector's edition guide was

I honestly can't think of it

Some old ones though are ACII, MEII, Gears of war

I'm sure there are some older ones but gears of war is the oldest I can think of

That was published about 6 years ago.......

Hmm that's got me thinking as well

The oldest I've got is final fantasy 12 which is about 6 years to I think

Madden 2005 which was out 2004 had a Collector's Edition guide albeit was a paperback...

Good on you. FF 12 apparently released about a month prior to Gears so that is the oldest thus far

Problem is definition though because there's been signature guides and such but not sure if they were earlier examples of two different versions of the same guide being released (i.e. the standard guide and the collector's guide)

Edit: Mags beat me to the punch well kind of, Was there a std guide available as well Mags?

Certainly old

Don't really like the look of that one myself though
