5.0 out of 5 stars Cheapest place to get it..., July 8, 2004

Go to google and type in doublejumpbooks to get this book for only $19.99 on their website. Don't get ripped off with people asking you to pay more than double what the book is worth. Why should the strategy guide cost more than the game itself? That's just not right..so go to the doublejumpbooks website, remember to add the .com and buy the book straight from there. It's a much better deal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent game, excellent guide... but don't get ripped off!, January 29, 2004

Disgaea's a wonderful game released by the famous strategy game producing company, Atlus... and I'm sure if you're looking for the guide you know all about the game.

For $14.95, this is an excellent bargain, but don't buy used for more! If you look in the forums of the guide publisher DoubleJump, there is going to be a second edition of this guide that will be published -- bigger, better, and at $24.95, certainly worth your money much more than buying a used one here.

Advice: nab the PDF guide from their guide or go to GameFAQs.com for strategies. If you want the book as a collector, wait for the 2nd edition strategy guide and watch the prices plummet!

Yes, this is an essential guide. Yes, it has virtually everything you would need. However, you do not need to pay a dime for it...especially not 50 bucks! As other reviewers have suggested, head to doublejumpbooks (add .com to get there). They are now offering this strategy guide as an e-book as a FREE download. If you're still working through this great game...I highly recommend the download...just don't drop a ridiculous amount of money on it!
