Stumbled across this gem earlier today. Over at Amazon, if you preorder the Official Prima Strategy Guide for Sonic Unleashed, you’ll get a $6.40 discount (32% off the $20ish price I’m seeing elsewhere). If you were thinking about getting it, this is probably your best bet at scoring one on the cheap side. I really doubt you’ll see it cheaper than $13.59 anywhere else (but if you do fine a cheaper one, please share!)
Being a long-time shopper on Amazon, I know how their discounts tend to work. The great thing about using Amazon, is that if there is another price drop, or large discount, they will REFUND you for whatever difference there is in the amount. If they raise the price later on, you still get the cheapest price from the moment YOU buy it.
Also, as an extra plus, if you buy from the link above, you’ll be helping Camp Sonic by giving us a small cut of whatever you pay for it. In short, that means we might have some extra cash to blow on prizes in the future if you go through our shameless referral link up top!
Can’t beat that!
I try to be type 2,...
@Jerbba: It’s probably a tentative date. Until SEGA is ready to state when the game will be ready, I’d take all dates with a grain of salt.
It says at Amazon that the guide will be released on November 18.
And Sonic Unleashed is slated for November so the game could come out before the guide.
@Xeternalstar: I have experienced insomnia too. It’s the most horrible thing ever to be brought upon this earth. I dont understand why your so cheery and happy though. And good thinking about the screens. Maybe we all can chip in like, a buck, give it to Dave, and he can go buy it.
the wii guide will have pictures from wii unleashed you dolts thats why we should by it duh!!
hhaaaayyyy guys ive been having trouble sleeping from insomnia anyway i can help with tp since i know where EVERYTHING is even giant wallet and quiver!! and that if you beat a mini temple in guerudo mesa completely that you get fairys tears at all the light spirit springs cool right
@RockerDuDe: Oh, ok. Thanks, I didn’t know that, I just assumed it would be when the game releases because you know…..it just wouldn’t be right….:oops:
thats not completely true…..
in Mario Galaxy the strategy guide was sold before the game came out
Its not being sold until the game comes out, I think they just have it up to show that they have it to sell (?) and isn’t probably complete yet.
A stragety guide is sold already!? But the game should still be in development!
I’d rather use gamefaqs for advice, but I have bought strategy guides for collection purposes before.
I always have a tendancy to get stuck in the easiest situations lol, but the levels are easy. Like when I couldn’t locate the stones in SA…
Hehe yeah. I just find it myself so hard to resist going to the back of the guide XD
And the four month thing always happens, especially when I get stuck. I still haven’t played twilght princess in forever because I need to find something and I don’t know where it is.
Oh what ever happened to the fan art submissions?
omg….. i think buying a strategy guide is a waste of money its way better to beat the game by yourself in the only sonic game i needed a strategy guide was in Sonic Adventure 2 Battle on the question mark stuff xD but i usally go to IGN and use walkthroughs on really tricky games like Legend of Zelda
@UmbreonTheDark:
yeah same here
Well, i personally dont think Sonic Unleashed requires a strategy guide. Unless your aiming to unlock every singe thing, and find every single hidden pathway. But that would add more time into. I’ll think about it . . .
It looks like the guide is only for the Wii version, does anyone know if it covers all versions or just the Wii? Might be a stupid question, but I plan on getting this game for the 360.
I don’t usually use strategy guides for help, I just like to own them and they usually come with a nice poster. I pretty much used my Sonic Adventure 2 Battle one for tips on how to raise chao and for its huge poster.
i don’t use guides on sonic games. i use youtube and ign only if i’m really in a tight corner.
WOW.
Has anybody noticed that on the Japanese Sonic Unleashed Site, the E3 trailer looks
WAYYYYY BETTER?????????
Japanese holdin’ out on us. haha
@bobbo21: I think the game is actually COMPLETED, just not released.
Prima and other strategy guide companies wanna jump on popular games, you know?
@Ben: You wanna know what would be WORSE WORSE?
Sonic defeating the Black Knight, then running off into the sunset, and accidentally running into a moat (still in Medieval times) and almost drowns and wakes up in ROMAN TIMES HAHAHA
(Reference to the Martin Lawrence Movie “Black Knight”.)
strategy guide already wow the games not even finished sega is my favoorite game company but they have lost the magic touch
