Not sure if this is a pricing error but thought it was worth posting. for those of you who like to collect the guides it would be a solid pickup.
First post, if I am missing anything please let me know.
CamelCamelCamel.
Oh well ordered, nothing to lose. Doubt it's going to be honoured.
Itll be honoured, it's $17 at Booktopia so I can't see it being an error.
It's a $60 or so unreleased book. Very skeptical.
It'd cost more to send via Aus Post for us commoners lol.
Noticed the price is over $50 at Booktopia … Any one get it?
bout the same price here without prime…

Oh nice, good to see other outlets are pricing around the same, seemed oddly low.
And nothing… They all went up or are unavailable. I bet a huge error.
Ordered this book from the Nile, didn't get a single update for weeks until I messaged them, said that they had no stock and that it was placed on back order now they message me today saying that they cannot fulfill the order. Never order from them.
you need a book to master this game ? LOL
I get them for collecting. Generally never open them…
Book contains a single page, with only the words "git gud" written.
what a great joke. thank you.
Hardly expecting much more for a game guide that retails for $19.
Who said it retails for $19???? Try harder.
@scuderiarmani: Other commentors have identified two other places you can get it for a similar price. Seems like market value to me.
Go ahead, neg me again.
@quadcaster: It does not retail for $19. So yeah, try harder.
I didn't neg you, but I bet you negged me…. now I just may.
Hmmm this is kinda weird. So, the OP link is Published by Dorling Kindersley and has 352 pages, but the Prime Guide, which has the same hardcover art has 464 pages, both have identical ISBN-13 numbers. Sooo anyone know wth is going on? lol
Is DK just the publisher for australia? And if they are why is there ~100 pages less?
For $15 I've bought it anyways more for Collection than anything else.
Ok so I have looked this up. DK publishes for prima in the UK Market. Which its safe to assume that the stock in Australia will be published by then also.
As for the page count that's a weird one
Please if someone can find an answer about why the things would have different page counts… I would be very interested
It's a typo on the page. If you read the description it says it's 464 making it the exact same as the prima
I guess there's a collector's market but other than that why do people buy these? There's this thing called the internet and it's made out of game guides.
It can be fun to have a big book of a thing you like, having nice high res glossy art on pages and stuff.
Well you just answered your question… so…
Ordered one with cashrewards and a $10 promotional certificate that I received for ordering the Howard Miller stuff which "they didn't had the stock to fulfil the order" So the total came down to $4.90 using amazon prime.
Just saw I was way too slow with my stupid joke.
Coming up as $19.99 for me
Wow a strategy guide, so neat and so cheap.
The PDF version will show up somewhere, I'm sure.
Delivery estimate: We need a little more time to provide you with a good estimate. We'll notify you via e-mail as soon as we have an estimated delivery date.
It looks like we are not going to get it on release date.
Appears so. A day from release and status hasn't changed.
Just got the email saying Estimated arrival date: 02/01/2019 - 08/02/2019…!
See you next year!
Yeah me too lol, oh well.
This backs up my price concern. Reckon it was a mistake.
It is available overseas, instock now, but obviously much more…..
Wouldn't be surprised if they cancel it. I've had that before.
