Right now, I only have three:

Modern Warfare 2 Prestige Edition
Zelda: Phantom Hourglass Collectors edition
Zelda: Spirit Tracks Collectors Edition

I am planning on getting some more, especially for the games I really want to play through, and never will if I dont have a guide. A lot of my older games for example. I would also really like the Collectors edition for FFXIII, but its kinda expensive!

My only players guide is my Pokémon Diamond one. I got it through subscribing to Nintendo Power one year.

I have some of the old Nintendo Power ones from my youth. Final Fantasy, Ninja gaiden, Super Mario Brothers 3, and one other forget which game it was. I had several others over the years but I either "lent" them to someone or they got lost moving. =\ Looking to buy them again if I come across them eventually.

I tend to by strategy guides a lot for games coming out but I usually only buy them for RPG's due to the cool art with in them because some games only have guides and no art book.

A lot. haha. I'm not sure exactly how many. I know I'm going to be posting up a video on youtube showing mine and my husband's strategy guide collection. Love collecting them! I know I also love reading them. And if I use them,I usually have a sheet of paper covering everything except for secrets locations and chests lol. I'm such a completionist in games,but I don't want to spoil anything and want to figure out everything for myself.

I even have strategy guides that I don't have the games for. The perks of working at Gamestop. My husband and I would get any guide that had been pennied out.

I own maybe 40 to 50 guides, and I use them quite extensively. They usually cover a lot of the rpg's released for the ps1 and ps2.

I absolutely love to use my guides. A lot of them are actually not as accurate as what you may think. I constantly have to use my guide with a combination of gamefaqs to make sure I get everything that the game has to offer.

A lot of people usually give me a lot of grief that I use strategy guides with the majority of the games I play, saying that it takes the fun out of it, but I disagree. I never use guides for boss fights or spoiling story elements. For me guides just help with the completionist aspect of my gaming. There are just some things you wouldn't be able to get if you didn't know about it previously.

I usually like to get my games completed the first time around. The only time I don't use guides is when I known that the game in general has zero missables, and there are actually quite a few games like that so I always get full enjoyment out of it that way.

I have a few guides... However I usually play through a game once without any guides or help. Then later if I find time, and I usually do, I play through the game again with a guide so I can get everything... If I want everything.
