When I went to pick up my reserved copy of Metal Gear Solid 4 yesterday, I was intent on getting the Limited Edition guide. To my dismay I was told that they no longer carry guides and do not plan to again anytime soon. 

No I don't need a guide to beat games, I just want it for the art and my collection. Also I am sure that some boss is unbelievably hard and I could use a clue on how to beat it. Funny enough that I got a real nice MGS4 magazine thing with my game and inside is a coupon for the guide I wanted but can not get. 

How can a game franchise just cut out guides? Is this a new practice at your game store? Funny enough I got a real nice MGS4 magazine with my game and inside is a coupon for the guide I wanted but can not get.
