[edit] bible-like appearance

"The book is black with gold lettering on the cover, bringing to mind a bible or other sacred text."

??? So since when were bibles black with gold lettering? And it's not true anyway. In my edition (and I'm not aware there are others), the book is red with silver lettering. Palefire 14:56, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

There are many different verions/printings of "The Game", however the most common version (in shops and when portrayed in the Media, i.e. a shot of the book in the news etc...) seems to be of the black covered one. However other's such as my neighbour's is a small soft covered book with a full colour and cartoony kind of look to the cover. Mathmo 09:32, 6 November 2006 (UTC)


There is a version which is black with gold lettering on the cover too (the cover being leather-like -- some kind of PVC?), but it's true that wether or not it brings to mind a bible is a bit subjective. When I saw it all I thought was "hey, that looks nice", and then I bought the "normal" one since it was cheaper. 202.156.6.54 19:17, 20 January 2006 (UTC)


It's definetly supposed to give off a Bible look to it. AMac2002 05:57, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

"will be staring Jack Black and Kate Hudson" is supported by reference [4] but if you look at it, its a review of the book on bn.com. in context, its obvious the reference to the actors is tongue-in-cheek. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 128.174.113.187 (talkcontribs) 00:27, 20 December 2006.

Not so sure if done tongue in check, but it does appear to have only been a rumor going about [1], so is now removed. Thanks. Mathmo Talk 11:16, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
