DP Advance Guide

[Griking]

I just got mine in the mail today and I'm having a ball reading it.

I notice that a lot of items are unpriced though, is this because a value really hasn't been set on the item yet?

On the funny side I just read that the entire US Game.com library of 20 games is valued at only $36 according to this guide.

[esquire]

That does sound strange. I wonder what happened there.

[hydr0x]

well, you can get almost any game.com game for 1-3 bucks at ebay (or at least you could a while ago), so i suppose thats correct

What's unpriced? That seems odd unless it's Rumor Mill/Prototype stuff...

(*curses slow trans-Atlantic shipping*)

I know that John didn't get to Jaguar hardware and many Lynx titles aren't priced but that should be the extent of it.

Glad you're enjoying the book - I was really happy with the way it turned out!

Advance Guide = joy wrapped in bliss. Get it if you didn't order it yet! In related news, reading Keir's CD32 section sorta makes me want to seek one out to check out it's library.

Yeah, and according to this guide, I've been sitting on an R8 for the past 4 years and never even knew about it.

Neo Geo Pocket Platinum Silver Pack - $85, R8

I thought it was bloody common!

I've had it since CGE and its already been used many many times. A very solid investment indeed

Neo Geo Pocket Platinum Silver Pack - $85, R8

Is that just the boxed Platinum Silver machine?
I had one of those, but sold it for about £20 a year or two back. Never seemed that rare to me, either.
Guess that deserves an almighty "D'oh!"

I didn't have time to go through the hardware entries for the NGPC section (long story) only the games. So that's what was already there by whomever decided. I actually have the platinum one at home myself from 2000...

[hydr0x]

i've got the platinum one too, that one is definetly not rare, even available at some import stores

[Mayhem]

From a US POV though (which is almost certainly how it was scored) it may well be very hard to find...

Yes. but it came bundled with Sonic Pocket Adventure (US release)

I can't wait to receive my copy (hint, hint, Joe...)

[rbudrick]

I wish my copy had arrived...sigh <twiddles thumbs and pouts>

*waits patiently*

[oesiii]

I got mine today, thanks for all the hard work. Now I have some reading material while we wait for a 3rd hurricane to come through Florida next week

[kainemaxwell]

I can't wait for my copy either!

[Keir]

Got my copy yesterday. Yay!

[digitalpress]

UPDATE.

I got confirmation from my wonderful shipping guy that 100% of all paid US pre-orders have been sent, 90% of overseas pre-orders have been sent, and he's already taken out some of the orders that came in after CGE.

Now, to the contributors and staff - if you have not received your book by September 15th, please let me know. It's just a business rule to ship to paying customers first and the comp copies second but I want to make sure you all get your books before the next big wave.

Enjoy!

I just recieved mine yesterday (the 8th) all the way up here in Seattle.

Tip-top work DP staff! It's a sharp lookin', smooth readin' book. Thanks for all the hard work and you're welcome for the $25. Don't spend it all at once (or on multiple copies of SMB/Duck Hunt!)
