When pre-ordering my copy of DS, I was unaware of the upgraded version of the game, that comes with the guide... (Thanks for telling me, GS employees! Psh)

Is there any way to get it individually? I generally like to keep a copy of guides handy for when I go back to a game later on and go over what I would like to change or do differently. Haven't stumbled across it online yet...

Sorry, but the guide is only available with the deluxe version of the game. It's not sold separately.

Eventually people will start putting the guide up on eBay. It probably won't be cheap, but that's probably your only option.

You should sign up for the Atlus newsletter, if you haven't done so yet. All pre-orders and version information goes out in the newsletter so you won't miss out on any promos or limited editions in the future.

This was my first purchase (that I can remember?) of an Atlus game, so I was unaware of the newsletter. Which I am signed up for now!

I know this isn't the guide, but why not use the DS wiki?

Well, two major flaws.

First, it's missing great junks of information.
Second, I can't look at it without taking a break from DS.

First, with the game coming out in N.A. more information is most likely to be added.

Second, Print it off?

See what I did there.. Common sense man. :)

Use the other wiki that supports the asian release. There should not be a difference, or at least I haven't noticed one.

BTW, the Atlus Official Guide is VERY nioce :p

My first urge is to make a snide remark about not wanting to print it off because at the end of the day, it's still NOT the guide I was looking for.

I want the original guide that comes with the deluxe edition (which I will probably buy...), not something edited by people that may, or may not be correct. Wiki's are notorious for that.

Just wait until it comes on Ebay, thats probably the only way you will get it at this point.

Well, unless you have 90$ to spend, or feel like pirating the guide at "some" websites, then you really have no other options then using a wiki.

I ended up picking the deluxe edition up from a guy off craigslist that said his son wasn't interested in the game after purchase... and I got it for a VERY good price.

You win some, you lose some... I guess I got my good luck deal for the month.

^^ hehe, just found a posting on eBay for the Demon's Souls guide plus artbook and CD

DEMONS-SOULS-STRATEGY-GUIDE-W-ARTBOOK-CD (http://cgi.ebay.com/DEMONS-SOULS-STRATEGY-GUIDE-W-ARTBOOK-CD_W0QQitemZ220492291060QQcmdZViewItemQQptZVideo_G ames_Accessories?hash=item33565d5bf4)

Thought I would go ahead and post it anyway even though you don't need it now.

That's about what I paid for the entire deluxe edition. Also, something to note, I traded the original DS in at GS and actually made money.

Retaking a bit this topic, is anyone else experiencing fast spine discolouration with their guides?

Yes, the ink "melts" as some have said.

I was lucky enough to barrow my friends copy, and had a great time reading it. I took pictures to remember the good times. Isn't that was pictures are for?
