I am.
Dunno how I will use it though.
Don't want to get too spoiled.
So will skim through it for a couple of minutes sometimes until I've finished my first playthrough.
Then I will look at some stuff more extensively.
But still not too much.
Then after the second and third playthrough I will read it inside out.

I waited till the GOTY edition of Fallout 3 came out before buying the guide, I'll do the same with New Vegas. I don't expect to complete New Vegas for a while once it's out, having a guide right at the beginning won't feel right to me.

And the first edition of Fallout 3's guide was regarded as pretty bad while the GOTY edition was a lot better, the same might happen for New Vegas.

Im not, no fun knowing where everything is right away, i want to explore. I near ruined a lot of things for myself in Fallout 3 by looking them up online. Discovering it yourself like I did On the first two is a much more rewarding experience.

Want to but not enough money. Though since I will have to wait I'll try to get the GOTY edition when it comes out.

No guidebook for me, after a few playthroughs I might consult the Wiki since it's a lot cheaper not to mention updated along with patches and changes.

Maybe I oughta keep that in a Notepad document on my desktop to paste into the almost-daily http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1117524-would-you-buy-the-guide-before-the-game-is-out/. Would save me some time. :shrug:

Since the thread is asking who IS getting the guide, and you're NOT.... You'd save even more time by simply not posting in these threads... Right?

Ontopic:
I AM getting the guide, in fact, have already paid for the Hardcover version... Should be in my hands shortly after release day. :celebration:

Nope. I'll write my own notes on some paper and make it my own Wasteland Survival Guide ;)
The guide spoils the game...

If your careful, you can read the guide with out spoiling it, old boy. Or at least get what I want out of it, without spoiling it.

I found with FO3 the best part was exploring and finding all the cool stuff myself like the large weapon stashes etc i would find having a guide to tempting to quickly find all the good weapons and take that thrill away from F:NV :P
