This thread has been linked to the game 'Final Fantasy X-2'.
After seeing one of these on eBay I tried to track down a place still selling them.
What is it?
Final Fantasy X-2 Guide book by Bradygames. Boring eh? Ah but, and this is the good bit, the limited edition version comes with an exclusive slipcase with some rather great art of Yuna on the front and the three main characters on the inside, and it comes with an exclusive 100 page Final Fantasy X and X-2 art book. The guide itself has an exclusive cover, and there are three covers - Yuna, Rikku and Paine.
It's sold out all across the US and no site over here has bothered offering this limited edition version, except Amazon, who state it is out of print.
But, after an hour or so of searching, I found one place which has it, amazon Canada, where the rather nice exchange rate right now means the guide, and art book and slipcase, can be yours, and shipped to you by international courier (which means odds are you have the book for release day of the game) (there are cheaper alternatives if you want) for a measly $58 Canadian, or £23 shiny british pound coins. An excellent deal methinks;
http://www.amazon.ca /exec/obidos/ASIN/0744003504/701-3738805-2768347
(remove the space by 'ca')
SR don't sell this so they shouldn't mind - Amazon Canada won't ship games internationally.
On another note, never realised the UK£ to Canadian $ exchange rate was so favourable...
