Plus for the Players Guide even though I wont use it for the game, I love looking at the offical artwork that appears in them.

$20 subscription
- $16.99 Guide
- $ ?. ?? CD
its just a no brainer here, as the bonus material easily costs more than the subscription and NP is a great magazine anyway ( time to add it to my collection, EGM and GfW)

After the first time, it was so easy! It was like a drug!! I couldnt stop!!! Kinda like opening a bag of your favorite chips and saying "OK, I am only gonna eat ONE chip. ONLY one." Yeah. That'll work... So instead of burning pretty pictures, perhaps I'll give the guide to someone else. That is, if I end up getting NP. Given how much money I will be spending on the Wii, controllers, games and all I'm not so sure I will be able to cough up $20 more.... *sob*HEY! This reminds me! Anyone remember that little cheaters book that came with the original Link to the Past? Remember how it was sealed off with a sticker, warning you that spoilers were within? I was able to resist temptation knowing that I would be "found out" if I used it. Perhaps Nintendo could do that with the entire guide? Just for me? Pretty please?

The phone operator might be quick to dismiss the CD soundtrack, but *gently*, tell them to keep looking and reassure them it is there. It is there because I just ordered it over the phone.

Free gift guides? BAH. Hint systems? BAH. The soundtrack alone is a worthy gift. Another guide is just another dead tree. Indeed I waited for a sign of a REAL GIFT before renewing my subscription.

It's been awhile since I've had a subscription, but my first subscription was in 1989, back when I was 5 :P I just noticed something on my subscription history though:Quote
May 1989 (v.005)
March 1990 (v.010)
This subscription came with a FREE gift of a TIP POSTER which will be shipped soon.
It's a good thing that Tip Poster from 16 years ago is finally shipping!

But, but, you know it'll have pretty concept pictures of Link. How can you just dump his hotness in the trash? D:

If they cut out 90pages of text and left only the pictures, the situation would be different.

Nintendo: "The Zelda: Twilight Princess Player's Guide and Soundtrack CD will begin shipping the week of November 28, 2006 and will take 4-6 weeks for delivery."
Me: "By the time this thing ships most of you will probably have progressed quite deap into the game..."
Pro666: "I'm tossing the TP guide in the trash ... just another dead tree."
Think of friends, sell it, give it away.... something.

As for you people throwing guides in the trash- I fully expect to be done with the game by the time the guide arrives. I don't know about you.

My original subscription began in Jan. 1991 when they gave out copies of Dragon Warrior for the NES. That's what we need - full games.
At least these days you'd think they could pack some Wii demo discs with Nintendo Power. I was hoping for GameCube demo discs...
Anyway, yeah. Zelda. Music. Good stuff. Every time the Zelda overworld theme is remixed for another game Koji Kondo should get another billion dollars.

Incapability to resist the use of a readily available player's guide = NOT SELF CONTROLLED.

Same here. Of course, back then I didn't do it for the magazine, just for the Collectors Edition disc...
This time, though...since NP has gone from "bad Nintendo rag" to "Pretty Good Magazine Which I Actually Look Forward To Every Month", it'll be well worth it.
I am also glad I waited until a good bonus like this came along. WOOT WOOT

Granted, I first subscribed to get the SSBM Orchestra CD, and I won a Logitech Speedforce Wheel Package a couple months later. But I've been holding on just to get some yearly bonus that justifies the $20 subscription and maybe a chance to win something neat.
The content is as shortlived as a daily visit to [insert boring Nintendo fansite here].

Also, if any of you are interested in the Zelda soundtrack but don't want to tempt yourselves by buying the guide, you can buy this collectible Zelda sword/shield replica set which comes with the exact same soundtrack... only downside is it costs $40 bucks, but total Zeldanerds might want this stuff anyway. Just thought I'd mention it.
Edit: Dangit, I made this post before I noticed this thread had 2 pages. Sorry
btw, Ceric, the soundtracks for the NP offer and the replica set are identical.

I loved Player's Guides back in the day (we're talking early '90s). The earliest ones that didn't deal with a specific game were cool (like the NES Game Atlas, Top Secret Passwords). Super NES Guides were incredibly awesome - at least the first few (Mario Mania (which covered Super Mario World but had lots of other Mario info), A Link To The Past, I guess Super Metroid was cool too).
But at some point (sometime after Super Metroid) they didn't have as much original artwork and more factual errors...at least of the very few Player's Guides I saw after that. At one point I wanted to collect the Player's Guides (hence my shelling out $100 Canadian for EarthBound at Canadian Tire even though I finished that game on a rental) but I didn't care anymore when it seemed like they were churning them out too quickly.
So does the Twilight Princess Player's Guide have cool artwork?

I was nearly moved to tears when I finally heard the Zelda theme at the end. Please tell me the end music is in there.

Death Mountain

Midna's Theme
Sorry Jon! The bad news is: the aren't enough songs. The good news is...they might all be orchestrated. I only listened to it very briefly (I don't own them), but from what I heard they all sounded orchestrated....which is peculiar to say the least. If they are in fact NOT orchestrated, then it's the best damn MIDI I've ever heard....
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on December 06, 2006, 09:03:32 AM
$40 for a short CD and a collector's box that can't even say closed?
or $20 for a short CD and a useless player's guide plus a 1-yr NP subscription?
DUHHHH YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO SPEND $30 ON OVERPRICED VC GAMES
Post by: JonLeung on December 06, 2006, 09:29:02 AM
Why couldn't NP be as cool as in 1991...when they gave out Dragon Warrior (NES) (a whole game! And on cartridge too!) along with a little strategy handbook about the game with a year's subscription? Or in 1992 when they gave out FOUR Player's Guides (the first ones, and they were good) with a year's subscription?
Nintendo's stock is at an all-time high...if they could afford those then, they can certainly afford Wii demo discs and Wii Points cards now. Those would keep me subscribing for sure!
Post by: NinGurl69 *huggles on December 06, 2006, 09:41:18 AM
So instead of waiting for the next awful NP issue and spending funds on disc manufacturing, we can just download and use a little bit of bandwidth.
