EGM

[RentCavalier]

So, I was told in an email that I won Letter of the Month.

This is awesome, as it was my FIRST letter I've EVER sent to ANY magazine, ever.

So, I gave 'em my address, and I'm looking forward to whatever free game they give me.

WHoo hooo!

[bovine]

you'll always be my letter of the month, sweetheart.

[RentCavalier]

Oh, hush bovine.

We promised to keep that talk strictly for the bedroom.

If the magazine wasn't insanely expensive ($6 an issue even through those cheap school subscription programs) and made nearly obsolete by the web (like their own 1up.com), I may have actually noticed.....

[RentCavalier]

I like the magazine though. The smell of a new magazine is wonderful.

Seeya in there, Ace. I buy it every month because I'm too much of a retard to subscribe.

I always get my subscriptions for free or for a few bucks a year via some online deal. There is just something nice about being able to read it at lunch after getting it in the mail.

Being descended from the barbarian tribes of the European Woodlands, and residing in a nation of lumberjacks, I very GLADLY pay money to see those trees destroyed, their guts mashed to a pulp then pressed so I can read our great West Germanic language of English off of their evil ****ing dried flesh!

I think you only save 1 or 2 cents an issue, so not a big deal. EGM is in the business of fleecing their loyal consumers, not giving them a deal for subscribing for a whole year.

Judging by my tone, you'd think I hated the mag, but it's actually the only gaming mag I would subscribe to....if it wasn't $6 an issue to subscribe....on a deal.....through the schools to help the kids.....

I'm sure a subscription is much cheaper than that. It's $8.00 on the shelves, so I pay $96/year (not including taxes).

Looked it up on their site. An EGM subscription is $12 a year in the US. I couldn't find how much more it is in Canada. BUT you can get EGM and GFW for $24/year and it's $16 more ("for shipping") if outside the US. So even if it's $16 for shipping just for EGM, that'd make it $28 a year.


...Yeah, I'd better subscribe.

Like I said, I saw it on the mag subscription thing they give to kids. Was $32 per year in the past, they upped it to $65 this year. I never even thought of looking online since so many times in the past it used to be almost cover price after the additional shipping.

I'm gonna subscribe now too. Thanks
