The turning point for me was standing in the queue in Virgin with an OPS2M, OXM & Edge (they’d all coincided that weekend) and then thinking to myself “Hang on… there’s a full game I want sitting on that shelf for a tenner!”

So I put them all back on the shelf and bought the game instead, which was a much better use of t3h m0nies! \o/

Eurogamer has a lot to answer for

I still purchase my fair share on a monthly basis: PC Gamer, PC Format, Edge, Computer Arts (& Projects) and Official Nintendo (for my son).

I certainly could do with some saved funds if I stopped, but I can’t get my self to do it yet

I still really enjoy my subscription to GamesTM, to be fair…

I’ve just seen the press release. NGamer “sold 4.4% more copies, at 17,801″.

Were NGamer’s numbers so low that they didn’t even want to publish them?

I can’t remember the last time I picked up a games magazine with a view to buying it. T’was probably Edge because the last time I picked up any other games mag would’ve been an Official one for a cover demo, and I’ve not touched one with a shitty stick since they were downloadable!

It’s not officially out until today. Subs arrived last Saturday. Well… mine did.

Well it’s still not in the local WH Smith’s if that’s any consolation.

Infact, still not got the latest issue, when did it come out? Tis beyond a joke when the KZ2 review goes on the web before I get my magazine.

I’m in the UK, midlands to be precise, but I’ve only got a single sub issue before shelf date.

Wow – just OPM and PSW seeing big gains? I guess the fandroids must be staying true to their word when they say that they’re going to boycott certain sites.

Are you outside the UK, Hunam? I always get my subs Edge about a week before it hits the shelves.

I agree that print is pretty much dead for games coverage. It’s just a shame that most online sources aren’t as well written as Edge. And nobody’s invented an affordable Star Trek ‘pad’ yet so I can read them on the bog.

I swapped from PC Zone to Edge, but will be cancelling Edge because they can’t be bothered to post it in good time.

Over priced pieces of tat. Print is really dead and simply cant compete with online now.
