Xenoblade art book

[Zing]

I knew nothing about the art book, either, but I got one. I didn't specifically ask, but from the clerk's off-hand comments, I believe that they were handing out their only two art books (out of four pre-orders) based on date of pre-order. That or only people who pre-ordered before, or during, a certain time were eligible. I can ask the next time I stop in.

I didn't know about an art book before reading this thread!

But, I went to pick it up today, and they had them bundled with the copies and people's names. So, my store had already allocated them out, which was nice.

I've found gamestop stores' customer service varies wildly by location.

Another consumer robbed of getting an art book here. I'ma goto another Gamestop tomorrow to see if they have any spares :S

To those that got the books, are they worth it? Not worth the $30 ebay price, right? Anyone willing to puts some scans up of the whole book?

[Ziggy]

I'll scan it. Maybe today after I get home from work.

I wouldn't buy it for $30, but then I wouldn't sell it for $30, either.

It's definitely something nifty to look at and have, but not a deal breaker if you don't get one.

I think it is for Gamestop, people should teach them a lesson and return it and order from Nintendo. Make a stand people!

Pretty happy with my art book. It's pretty slim, and nothing really special... but the quality is higher than I expected and the embossed cover is a nice touch. As a souvenir it's great. Does it have any real value? No... and if I didn't get one I wouldn't be missing anything. But I won't be surprised to see them selling for more than they are "worth" to collector's or big fans of the game.

I think someone scanned the official japanese guide, plenty of nice art pieces in it if anyone cares

Thanks for the link. Dang, now I really wish I pre-ordered it forever ago to get this. I definitely think the art for this hands down blows away the art for the past Xeno games. A lot cooler and mature looking stuff here (reminds me of FFT art).

I'm not sure I understand. GameStop helped bring the game to us, is offering a free art book, and is charging the same price, plus there is no shipping cost or delay.
