@ 4 - we proofed this and prepared the content from our site :P
@ 5 - some people want a tangible, physical copy of the guides because they don't game next to the computer or have a printer.
@ 6 - it varies, but the RRP is $14.99 (US), $16.95 (Canada) and £7.99 (UK) |

Sunday, February 08, 2009 @ 03:31:47 PM
Curious...for online achieves that require boosting to get quickly/efficiently, do you put the link of the boosting thread on this site? Do you explain what boosting is in the book? Or do you simply try to guide them to getting the achievement without boosting? Just a simple question. |
|

Unfortunately not JC, although if we get the opportunity to do another one, that's one thing we'd like to include.
@ chewy - there are internet links throughout the book to the boosting threads if its required, but not many. |
|

Sunday, February 08, 2009 @ 03:49:22 PM
Though this is quite an achievement, I personally like the site better, as the book lacks the interactivity the website has and so I won't get it, prefering to donate directly to you guys. Either way, good job. |

I bought this weeks ago, and I keep it on my bookshelf just in case I need it. It's exactly the same as the guides found here, updated to include most of the recent updates on the site. It's very well-constructed, and is broken down into the types of games, such as sandbox, superhero, fps, etc. However, in each of these categories, the games are NOT in alphabetical order. Still a good buy. I easily dropped the $15 for it, because I saw that it was the guides from this site, and instantly knew that whoever made the guides knew what he/she was talking about. Easily worth the cash. |
|
| Comment #34 by SCA KAZUMA
Sunday, February 08, 2009 @ 04:20:59 PM
When I said "easily dropped the cash" that should've been "quickly dropped the cash", not to sound loaded or conceited or anything...didn't catch it until I read over it again.
...simply put: IT'S A GOOD BUY! |

Sunday, February 08, 2009 @ 05:00:22 PM
@ JC - I'm using the RRP off the back of the book. But that's just a guide price, it's ultimately up to the retailers so it will vary. |

Well done and congragulations for the birthday, X360A!
Hey, I saw the text "Halo 3 - all 1250" but hey, it isn't all! Totally Halo 3 has 1750G, remember? So when people buy this book in 2010 they'll notice that Halo 3 actually has 1750G. Hey by the way, where are the GoWs?
Overall though, the book seems really nice. I would probably buy it if it was sold here in the EU. |

Hello, I would like to start by saying that Im a longtime user of the site but I just registered for the first time. I love the site and congrats on getting the book published. One question about the book. There is no refrence to viva pinata in the index or in this thread but the complete guide is in the book starting on page 123 with no indication whatsoever that its a viva pinata guide. An editing mistake im guessing? |
