i use the maps, item/shop lists, and occasionaly the bestiary of Strategy Guides but never the walkthrough or Boss Strategies as i found my play style is seldom the same as the guide writers and therefore their strategies don't work for me... regardless of using them or not i always buy them anyway as a complement to the game, i believe the guide and game are part of a whole product, and usualy the guide has some good official art in it as well... i also try to keep everything in as near mint condition as possible (sometimeshappens) including the guides... oh and i despise who whote the FFIX guide, putting half of it on the net then reomoving it later was the lamest of the lame, if they ever re-release IX they better give us a complete guide...
(i don't know how to answer the question since i buy the guides but don't use the walkthroughs...)
