There's an unusual problem that some customers of the Demon's Souls: Deluxe Edition and Atlus USA have identified. It seems that the included 160-page Official Strategy Guide is possessed with a case of disappearing ink, on the cover at least. Some of the covers are reported to have spots of ink fading. The game's publisher, Atlus USA, is aware of the issue and will be offering a replacement program for the official strategy guide. It looks like Atlus USA will have to go to press again with the guide, although the Deluxe Edition was announced as being discontinued. This doesn't mean that Atlus USA will be offering the Deluxe Edition again, but at least those of you who have purchased the now rare item will at least get a replacement option.

Here is the announcement from Atlus USA regarding the case of disappearing ink:

"Over the last couple weeks, we’ve received reports from owners of the Deluxe Edition of Demon’s Souls that some copies of the Official Strategy Guide were experiencing unusual cover ink wear/fading.

While it seems that not every copy of the guide is affected, and the specific cause of the issue remains unclear, Atlus always strives for nothing less than the full satisfaction of our customers. Therefore, we will soon launch a program to replace defective strategy guides.

Stay tuned for details on when the program will begin and specific steps on how to submit your replacement request. We can say at this time that we will ask customers to mail in their cover and the first page of their guide as proof of purchase, leaving them with a usable book while we process their replacement claim. Full instructions will be posted in this thread next week.

Thank you for supporting us and making Demon’s Souls such a big hit. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue has caused, but fear not: we’ve got you covered (pun intended)."
