The moral is, don't **** with Uncle Tim when he's been drinking!
My only gripe with the guide is the lack of Jag hardware and rarity pricing. Other than that, it's perfect. Perfect, I say!
Got mine today too. Sent you an email about it Joe

I have not gotten mine either. I was hoping for delivery in alphabetical order by last names... I'd a been near the top of the list.
What have you done America?
If that happened then I would have put my last name as Aarons since my last name starts with W. I got my book and I am pleased but I want the import version so I can have the super famicom section that was cut out of this version.
Sorry Ryan, but your girlfriend is in another school.

Yeah, what's going to happen with the stuff that was cut from this one?
And I noticed a annoying error -- it was in the original one but seems more common here. Text when talking about the features or cheat codes or easter eggs of the games is cut short and it just goes into the games scores. You're reading along and suddenly WHAM! The sentance is chopped off. I can provide examples if anyone wishes. Who ever did the final editing needs to be shot.

The stuff that was cut is still available in the online guide. A pain in the butt, sure, but it's there.

I got mine a few days ago. Nice to finally see something I wrote in print.
I guess I need to be shot. Unfortunately for all of us, Microsoft products don't talk to each other very well. I've done everything I can to minimize those cut-off sentences but it's just impossible to edit 15000 game entries.Who ever did the final editing needs to be shot.
Sorry this ruins your experience with the book (this being your only comment). I'll try harder next time provided I'm not shot dead.
I was partly kidding, Joe. Hence the use of the

WoO! I'm very happy to say that my Guide arrived today, and it's every bit the definitive tome I'd hoped for. Had a quick flick through and ended up getting absorbed for an hour or two
Casting an over-critical eye over the Megadrive section (hey, I'm allowed to since I helped write it) I've spotted a couple of typos that slipped through (despite the fact that I must have checked it all at least a dozen times!) and there's a couple of truncated descriptions again
There also seems to be something strange going on with the Genesis/MD accessories - they almost all seem to say 'Released No' or 'Released Yes' in the description despite the fact that they were all definitely released. Must be beasties in the mainframe somewhere.
Also, it would have been nice to seperate the Euro/Brazilian MD games, but at least this can all be fixed for the Import Guide
Don't want to sound too negative though, because it's a truly stellar effort all-round. It's going to take a long time to truly assimilate...
They're in UK now? Only few more days then.

I got mine on saturday. It is a nice guide, I can overlook the cutoff sentences, its not a big deal since you did your best. We will have to start an addendum style thread for all of the missing hardware. I was curious to see why the SuperVision and the Interactive vision were not in there, not a big deal I was just wanting to get more familiar with the Supervision.
If they made a movie out of your top five worst sins, what would it be rated?
Check out my list of trades on GameTZ Link
SuperVision and PC-FX were the final cuts from the book. There wasn't enough interest-to-page-count ratio and as you can see it was a lot of stuff to squeeze into 512 pages. I DO have those sections and can have them online as well.
As for those cut-off sentences, I know they suck and they were a big problem in my editing process but I couldn't catch them all. I would really appreciate if you find cut-offs to PM me with the game title and section so I can contact the appropriate section editor to correct them in our database.
