Besides, even if you don't USE the guide to actually GUIDE you in MK, the KE Guide may come with additional artwork, for all we know. :-D

Yeah it does -
- All content from regular edition book
- Embossed Hardcover with special foil logo
- Massive concept art section
- Laminated move reference cards for all characters
- Exclusive theme song from Teenage Riot Records
- Behind the Music - Exclusive interviews with the theme song artists
- Tournament calibre strategy for the serious tournament players
- Inside NetherRealm Studio feature
- Character histories with Fatality gallery and warrior evolution

So ~32 pages with all that extra stuff. The laminated move reference cards sound interesting - I'll pass a few around to my friends to help us all memorize stuff quicker. :D Seems the normal guide also has these anyway, though.
 
I pre-ordered the TE at Gamestop. I am also going to try and offer $40 to a friend who is getting the standard edition, and we'll go in on the KE edition instead. They can have the game, the Avatar clothing, and Ermac's classic outfit since I will already have it from the TE, and I will take the book ends and art book. It's a better plan than to pay another $100 for a game I am already getting. heh

Meh, I used guides when I was a kid. Didn't know people still used them.....I prefer now to just learn on my own.
 
I don't usually buy guides to learn a game, I just read the shit out of 'em because they are actually pretty interesting...
Plus, learning some new finishing moves and seeing the alternate costumes sounds pretty awesome
 
Even though I have an embargo on strat guides and refuse to waste money on them, finding out that the collector's edition has laminated quick reference cards for characters is actually a draw...instead of referring to a print out I can just grab a card since I know i'll never remember fatalities. Interesting.

Response to overall thread:

I finally settled on pre-ordering KE at Gamestop. Since Best Buy isn't giving away sub with KE they lost my pre-order. I also pre-ordered TE from Amazon to price gouge and sell it on ebay, and I'm going to keep the reptile code for myself.
 
Where are you pre-ordering MK from?

Lock/Move/Delete if already done

I was going to pre-order from Game, but then I saw this amazing price

Mortal Kombat for 360 and PS3 for only £29.86

Saw this price just now and it completely stunned me. It's a massive difference from the £37.99 that Game is offering, although their pre-order bonuses include costumes for Scorpion, Jade and Mileena, I'll get it from ShopTo if I know for sure that the costumes can be unlocked in-game.

So where are you getting the game from?
 
Re: Where are you pre-ordering MK from?

Kollector's Edition from Amazon ... Wanted the classic Ermac and Reptile skin cuz I really don't like their normal ones

GameStop

Scorpion's "Toasty" was the first Fatality that I did in MK 1.
Can't wait to see what it looks like in MK 9, with the Unreal 3 Engine :-D
