man, that's crappy. MP is 50, the MC59 is 15. It might not be so bad if nintendo power wasn't useless and strategy guides weren't for sissys
In all seriousness, though, if you're going to get a players guide, get one made by versus books. The versus "perfect" guides are far and away the best money can buy, and you usually get some cool posters with the book.
the deal that was posted is little more than 5$ off of the wavebird. Nintendo has had much better offers in the past. I was able to get Zelda MM, a year of NP the MM guide, an MM tshirt and an MM soundtrack for 60$
