Um, that's, if anything, even worse. "Go get an online connection" followed by "no useful info"? Lots of unhappy customers.
Not no useful info, just no necessary info. It would've been absurd (er..."more" absurd?) for them to sell a physical guide with no content, but they wanted to integrate PlayOnline, so they stuck the most worthwhile 75% of content in the book and relegated the least useful 25% to a series of coded interweb notes.

I mean, I don't want to defend the guide too much. It did suck. But it was still useful and worth having for people who generally bought guides.
