I'm really wanting to get my first guide, but I need some help. I can either renew my subscription to EGM (24 issues for $24.97) or buy the guide. Is the guide "worth" more than 24 issues of EGM?

The only systems I collect in the guide are 2600, 7800 & NES, but those 3 alone account for over half of the 650 games I own.

I really wish I could get both, but a baby is on the way
