Choosing between two Prima guides for the same game often comes down to condition, platform labels, and what you want to spend. One option is the Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima Paperback, listed at USD 18.89. The other is the Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima PS3 Xbox 360 Walkthrough Book, listed at USD 12.84. Both are United States guides for the same title, but they are not equal at first glance.
Quick Verdict
If you want a brand-new copy with the Prima Games strategy guide label and a clean presentation, pick the paperback. If you want the lower listed price and are fine with a Good-condition book, the PS3/Xbox 360 walkthrough book is the more practical choice.
Listed Price at a Glance
| Guide | Listed Price | Condition | Notes | Price Bar |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima Paperback | USD 18.89 | Brand New | Trade paperback strategy guide | |

Where Each Guide Stands Out
Both guides come from Prima Games and are trade paperbacks tied to Assassin's Creed Rogue. The brand-new paperback gains ground with its condition and clear strategy guide classification-it sits within the Assassin's Creed series listing and is described as a Strategy Guide. The PS3/Xbox 360 walkthrough book, on the other hand, calls out specific platforms in its title and brings the lower listed price. It also carries an ISBN and walkthrough language that points to practical play help.
- Pick the Prima Paperback if you want a fresh-condition guide and don't mind paying the higher listed price.
- Pick the PS3/Xbox 360 Walkthrough Book if you want the lower listed price and are comfortable with a Good-condition copy.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima Paperback
This is the brand-new option in the pair. It comes in as the higher-priced listing, but the condition is listed as Brand New, so you're looking at a clean copy rather than a pre-owned one. The guide is classified as a Strategy Guide specifically for Assassin's Creed: Rogue, and it's part of the Assassin's Creed series, which makes it an easy fit for a series collection. The trade paperback format is consistent with a typical strategy guide, and the new condition is the main reason to choose it over the used alternative. The limitation is the price: you'll pay more for the new-condition presentation. If you want a book that hasn't had a previous owner, this is the one to pick.
Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima PS3 Xbox 360 Walkthrough Book
This is the lower-priced entry in the showdown. The title includes PS3 and Xbox 360, making the intended platforms clear. It's credited to Prima Games Staff and formatted as a trade paperback, with Features marked Illustrated and a Genre of Games & Activities. The condition is Good, so it's a pre-owned copy, and you should expect some signs of handling. The description mentions walkthroughs, maps, and tips, which is exactly the kind of practical help you'd want while playing. The main limitation is the condition: if you need a pristine guide, this one won't match the new paperback. But for everyday use at the lower listed price, it's a solid, practical pick.
Final Choice by Use Case
If your main priority is a brand-new guide with the strategy guide label and you're okay with the higher listed price, go with the Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima Paperback. If you want the lower listed price and don't mind a Good-condition copy, the Assassin's Creed Rogue Official Game Guide Prima PS3 Xbox 360 Walkthrough Book is the practical pick. For a gift or a collector shelf, choose the paperback; for your own playthrough, the PS3/Xbox 360 walkthrough book gets the job done at a lower price.
