If anyone still reads *magazines*
 
Amazon is having a sale this week until Saturday June 5th at 11:59 PM (PT). You can subscribe to all of these magazines for just $5 each for one year. It is also good for renewals. You just need to make sure you use the SAME exact address that is printed on your current mailing label and they will tack it on to your subscription. If you have the subscription through Amazon already, just visit your Magazine Account center and you can extend your subscription through there.

In the past when they've done these deals I've found if I wanted to add more than 1 year if I ordered early enough, once the order "shipped" after a day or so, I could re-order the magazine again and it would extend my subscription even more.

Stolen from CAG. I don't even read the shit I get now, but $5 for a year of the OXM disc is good enough for me.

GET THE POWER!

I used to subscribe to PC Gamer, then their good editors left like Rob Smith and then "The Vede" who was awesome and this stupid chick took over and made the magazine horrible and I cancelled my subscription. Too bad theres no other PC games magazine. It was good to read on the toilet.

Only reason I reupped my Nintendo Power last time was because I got the free Zelda disk.

Was more than worth it, but the magazine isn't really worth my time anymore. Only read GameInformer now. Might reup EGM now that it's back, though.

It's not the same EGM from before. Only guy I remember is Greg Ford. I think the old crew submits some work from what I seen in the online site but it's not the same. Just a title so far, but I'll watch to see if my favorites return.

I got a free book of posters about 2 months since apparently Nintendo Power ran out of the regular free gift one would get with a subscription.

I didn't even know I was eligible since I only filled out a regular subscription card and not those with the free strategy guide or other gift on it.

On a related note, Fignuts has just been put on a suicide watch.

Oh dear.

Hey, EGM was the goods. Their articles were great and I loved the 3 man review system. :(

I really wish Amazon.ca was even half as good as Amazon.com. :'(

Fine, I'll put you on the suicide watchlist too.

It's not the same as before, but it's still a good read.

OXM w/disc, PSM, PC Gamer, Nintendo Pwr $5/yr ea.
 
normally G is on this kind of stuff, but i didnt see a thread about it, and figured its a good enough deal to post. Anyway, said magazines are going for $5/yr sub on amazon.com until Saturday night.

Heres the original CAG thread, or you can just go to amazon and search for the mag.

#BROKEN Hasney 06-05-2010 04:13 AM

Yeah, G is usually on with this stuff.

OH WAIT HE TOTALLY WAS

Oh, snap!

BOOM!

HEADSHOT!

Kane Knight 06-05-2010 05:23 AM

LOL yeah, G was on this like a week ago. I ended up buying the OXM sub so I could get the disc of bonus shit.

I was going to get EGM because they TOTALLY TELL IT LIKE IT IS, but it's not the same people, so when they give average reviews they might not be legitimately average reviews.

Opted to get the OXM, for the discs at least. I already subscribe to PC Gamer.

BillyBonez 06-05-2010 03:38 PM

I wish there was a PC games magazine in the US, other than PC Gamer. I subscribed to PC gamer for like 10 years or so and cancelled my subscription cause the magazine got absolutely terrible once "The Vede" left and a new editor took over, she was horrible.

Kane Knight 06-05-2010 05:02 PM

Was PC Gamer the one that had Coconut Monkey on the demo discs years ago?
