Was the cover of it black or white?

The standard edition of the Saints Row the third guide was labeled "studio edition" even though it's just the normal edition of the guide and was white

Standard guide



Collector's guide



It's been a long time since I've looked for the CE guide tbh

It was indeed cancelled hence if a copy of the collectors edition guide does exist somewhere for whatever reason, it would be very rare

Again though just one old ebay sale that has since been removed from ebay

I do agree with Swift's point in that for the most part; most people I know that collect CE guides (which isn't that many to begin with) keep them sealed. It's because most of us, like me, only buy the guide to collect; and not actually use.

The last guide I actually opened was probably Bioshock Infinite, but like Coma said, it was for the toy

Now, I don't go out of my way (well that's a lie because I just drove 13 miles today to get the Injustice CE guide at 50% off) usually to buy them. I also try to not overpay - or even pay full price.

Most CE guides go on sale, even the "rare" ones before they sell out.

For example, before the 1st run of Skyrim guides became overpriced on ebay; they were cheaper than the MSRP on amazon lol.

The only guide I'm considering paying full MSRP right now is the MGR Revengence CE guide...just because online is overpriced, and Best Buy apparently "took it out of their system" completely.

I wouldn't worry about it

Because most people don't open their CE guides the discrepancy in price/value between a sealed and an unsealed guide is far less in most cases then for a lot of other VG collectibles imo

Also the new vegas guide isn't overly rarer in and of itself

Looks like CE are not the only ones sort after looks like Darksiders Signature Series Strategy Guide (Bradygames Signature Guides) (Paperback) on Amazon is going for $133.89 to $900.00 I did not think this would hold any value might be worth holding on to my copy after all. Looks like some of these paperback books are worth more in two years like Batman Arkham Asylum Signature Series Guide (Bradygames Strategy Guides) by BradyGames [Paperback(2009/8/19)] (Paperback)
by BradyGames (Author) on Amazon is $191.91 US.
