How many people have a subscription to OXM?

Do you play all the way through everything on the demo disc every month and try to keep adding to your "demo disc gamerscore"?

Is anyone else getting discs that always seem to start skipping when the CD-Rom drive spins faster than normal? For some reason, every single month this happens to me. I actually ran across some people saying that boiling the disc for a couple of minutes fixes the problem, LOL. Yes, and I even tried it a couple of times and it actually does work.

I was just kind of curious how many other people actually pay for this magazine subscription anymore, seeing as how the internet has a lot of the information faster than it reaches print.

I personally still enjoy getting magazines in the mail every month, because I have a lot more free time away from the PC to read. The demo disc is nice every now and then to play demos I wouldn't download or play any other day of the week.

I had a subscription to the Official Playstation Magazine up until this month's last issue ever for that magazine. They have closed the doors for it, and the balance of my subscription is being moved over to EGM. I am curious if a lot of the magazines are going this route, because people surf the internet for their information more than reading magazines anymore.

I also have been a long time member of Nintendo Power, just for nostalgic reasons mostly, but it is nice to see what is coming out for the Wii and DS, when I am not surfing those websites.

Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to see how many people still have subscriptions to some of these magazines.

I love to read gaming magazines and currently am subscribed to: Game informers, OXM, and EGM. Yes the internet is faster with getting info out, but I really enjoy sitting down and reading a good magazine.

:growl: I had at one time, purchased OXM monthly.
I only purchased the magazine because of the demo's and other x-box extra's. However, I hated the magazine because all the editors and reviewers hardly knew what they were speaking about. On tons of occassions I found that they stated facts about games histories, storylines and time lines incorrectly. The most blatant was them claiming what big fans of The Riddick story they were, then stated that The Escape from Butcher Bay took place after Pitch Black.

Small thing to complain about I know, but them couple in the fact that they also take every opportunity they can to brag about things. Things like they played this new game and that, and that they are cooler of you because of that. Yeah, thats right, you get to play the games and systems we can't yet.

Just shut up and tell me how it is.

Now that you can download the demo's off X-Box Live for free now. I don't need to waste my money on that publication..sweet.

It was funny, the H3 Multiplayer screens were released a few months ago, and the most recent issue was promoting them as brand new, never before seen photos. Bah. They could've put them in an issue from a month or two ago, but the fact they are just now putting them in the mag is funny.

It was nice to see the two free Oblivion downloads, but I was not happy at all with either. In total they added about 45 minutes of play time for me, and a waste of about half my gold. Worthless =p
