Sorry about the spammy nature of this, but I know that a lot of occassional US readers have been put off by Retro Gamer's high price and we've managed to rectify it.
Anyway, as of next issue you'll be able to buy RG from the likes of Borders and Barnes and Nobles for just $10
On top of this a subscription for 13 issues will cost you just $80, far cheaper than the previous offer.
To get this great deal just head to www.imaginesubs.co.uk/RET and type in YOUTUBE in capital letters.

I see that it's supposed to be 50 pounds for US residents, but when I checked out, it still came up 80 pounds. I sent an email and hopefully it will be corrected prior to billing my credit card.

I thought you could always buy it for $10. I used to buy it when i lived in the states (many moons ago) and I thought it was $10 or less. I know it was less than $10 when I bought it in Malaysia....

Nope, I've been paying far more than $10 for mine. But I still look forward to seeing a new issue on the shelves anyway. Even though Barnes & Noble stores don't always stock it, and I end up driving to several locations to find the latest issue.

It's definately $80 (which works out at £50 for the year) I'm on holiday at the mo, but getting someone to look into it now.

I've been picking them up at Barnes and Nobles for years, but a subscription would be nice. I'm just concerned that they will show up in bad shape from travel from the UK.
Any chance we might be able to get them closer to their release date? It seems they are always a month or two behind.

Trip Hawkins subs to the mag and he normally sends me a "great issue" email about a week after its hit the shelves in the UK. As far as I'm aware one of the major benefits is that you should get the mag more or less as quickly as UK readers.

Unless you can provide a link that states otherwise (as your initial posting is not even proper http) retroGAMER subs are still 80 sterling to the US.

If this had a changed, which is quite significant, I'd be quite sore as I just renewed my 3rd year sub and paid 80. I would hope if it did drop there would be reimbursement.

It states in your details that you're from Canada, which I think comes under Rest of the World. As far as I'm aware this offer is for US residents only.
As I said in a previous post, it's been bought to my attention that it's still showing as £80 for the US which isn't correct. I'm on holiday, but have sent an email to the subs department to sort this.

Hooray! I'll subscribe as soon as the website is corrected. I noticed it lists the right price in the small print, but the form still has the old price:
US readers:
Pay just £50 for 13 issues/1 year (equivalent to only $80 as at August 09).

I believe I too usually see it for $11.99 at the bookstores, and Microcenter. EDGE is only $8.99...$9.99 is nice but I too will consider the subscription when the site is updated...

I bought my B&N issue last week and spotted the $9.99 price tag as a suprise. I'm not about to subscribe, but I will keep buying them at the store as a reason to hit the book shop. Now if only the quarterly BSD Magazine were less than $15.

Strideristhebest??? Hmmmm... Judging from the name, this sounds like this is the work of Darren! :rocker: Welcome to the forums!
I noticed the price drop as well. I have been buying RG since before the monthly DVD was dropped and will continue to do so for years to come. Actually, I'll be subscribing the mag once again.
Originally I subscribed when you guys were with the original publisher and when they dropped the mag I lost the subscription and my money! So I have just been buying it issue by issue for some years now.
But I have to say it's one of the best Mags I have ever read and you guys do an incredible job (Even with the regular staff changes). Keep up the good work and you can look forward to an additional subscriber!

Hmm. Oversized format. All full color glossy pages. Thick cardstock covers. Embossing, shiny inks, and other special surprises each month on the covers. Great articles about older classic systems that get ZERO coverage here in the States in magazines. Still sounds like a bargain to me at $10 a month!!

And we REALLY appreciate that fact, too! I do have to say that I've been missing the "Gentlemen's" ads that used to appear in the back of each issue though. Those were interesting to say the least, but did make it awkward when my kids flipped through. (Or maybe I'm thinking of GamesTM? - thought it was both mags)

Anyway I'm glad to hear people are enjoying the magazine. It's hard work, but I've been the editor now for 50 issues and i'm still loving it. Expect to see for more US centric stuff in future issues as well...

Just so you guys know, I got an email from Amy in the subscriptions department of Imagine publishing and she let me know that they corrected the charge, and only billed me 50 pounds instead of the 80 listed on the website. So, go ahead and get subscribed up!!

I'm curious: Are Retro Gamer subscriptions to the US shipped in envelopes just as they are when you order from the store?
I'm still iffy on it even at this price, mostly because I was pretty sickened by the crap Stuart Campbell pulled over at Neo-Geo.com a few months back. Basically he was called on some errors in an article he wrote, but instead admitting to it or entitling everyone to their own opinions he created this giant ego driven mess, registered multiple accounts to defend himself with against the infamous neo-geo.com slaughter house, and never once attempted to save any face.
It's the only time I've seen a 40 year old man devolve into a 10 year old boy. You could make a top 50 list he said so many stupid things there, telling your readers to "die in chemical fires" sticks out for me though. :P
Now every time I see something written by him in any issue I just think of that and it's all ruined. Bleh.

I think it's a great magazine with pretty good opinions and articles, but it's the ONLY magazine out there that truly give the retro scene the attention it deserves. If someone could point me to another magazine that really cares about retrogaming then I would be all over it. The one-page "Classic GI" in every 4th Game Informer is not exactly what I call decent coverage.

SC is an idiot, he doesn't care about writing, he once admitted. He wrote for a less than average Amiga magazine in the UK way back. Don't even waste time telling him he's written something wrong. He doesn't research. I wonder why RG so desperate to keep that birthdefect. I cut out his bad writing from RG every issue.
Anyway, any chance of Europe specials?

I know he has also something similar happen here on DP, that must be what you're talking about? I think I looked it up around that time but it was nothing compared to whats on neo-geo.com.

So, back on topic of Retro Gamer. My subscription starts with Issue 69, which RG informed me would arrive around October 6th (so any day now). I wonder if I will get it before I find #68 at Barnes and Noble? I was there over the weekend and they still had out the Bomberman issue, #67.

A few notes on my RG subscription. First off, with the crazy conversion rates, my subscription ended up costing $83 USD for 13 issues, which is still like getting 6-7 issues free! SCORE!
Second, I got issue 69 in the mail today and it came packaged only in a simple plastic sleeve but was in surprisingly great condition! Now I need to make a Barnes and Noble run to pick up issue 68. Last weekend, it still wasn't on the shelves yet....grrr...

I don't see where there's a in-store price reduction for Retro Gamer. Here in Canada, it still sells for $16 in a magazine store. If it were sold at $10, I would buy it, but $16 is prohibitive, I'd rather order online its French equivalent, Pix n Love.

I've been picking up RG monthly from B&N (the only place I can find it in the Washington, DC area) for a few years. It used to cost around $12 a pop--insanely expensive for a magazine, but it has such great variety and writing that I always plunked down the cash without thinking twice. At $10 an issue, RG is a steal! I think it's the best video game magazine on the market, and it's been a fantastic source for various features at my website.
Hadn't heard about the new $80 subscription deal. Thanks for bringing me up to speed. That's pretty awesome, I just might have to go for it, because it drives me crazy when I lose track of time and B&N sells out of an issue.

I took advantage of this offer last year and have only 3 issues left until my sub expires. I was hoping to get another good offer to extend the subscription, but when I got my last issue it had the renewal "deal" which was a bit disappointing:
12 issues for 76 pound. So I checked the RG website for standard worldwide subscriptions - 80 pound.
Hmmm. Thought they might give us a larger price break for renewal, but I guess not.

On top of this a subscription for 13 issues will cost you just $80, far cheaper than the previous offer.

I have been reading and collecting your mag since 2004. I even bought the iPhone app. Can't wait to see it on an iPad.

For what it's worth, stores in the Washington DC area still carry Retro Gamer regularly.
For anyone on the fence about buying it, I think that it's probably the best-written video game magazine in print right now (not that there's really much competition). Sometimes I wish that more UK-focused articles on obscure computer systems and games were NES or Genesis material instead, but even those pieces are so well put together that they're still a great read.

Do you know if there Barns and Nobel in Union Station carries it?

Sorry about the spammy nature of this, but I know that a lot of occassional US readers have been put off by Retro Gamer's high price and we've managed to rectify it.
Anyway, as of next issue you'll be able to buy RG from the likes of Borders and Barnes and Nobles for just $10
On top of this a subscription for 13 issues will cost you just $80, far cheaper than the previous offer.
To get this great deal just head to www.imaginesubs.co.uk/RET and type in YOUTUBE in capital letters.
It seems this code actually does work now, and for Canada too no less.
Too bad this is long after the fact it did not work at the time of my renewal several months ago. All I can say is I hope this or a similar offer applies next summer when I may plan to renew for my 5th year of RG. If not, that might be the end of it for me as 80 sterling is a lot, even at the present exchange rates.

When I go to this page it states "Choose your country from the list below" but there is NO list below. The price is still 50 pound but I guess the deal is gone for us on this side of the Atlantic....

Has anyone tried the CD versions from RetroGamer? A compilation of past issues. Are they PDFs and how is the quality?
I have the one thats issues 1-30, then my collection picks up in paper form 31-present. The CD-ROM is PDF, you can zoom in/out on the pages, but every so often there's a "blank" page that says "e-mag" right in the middle. It saves space of course, but it's easier to read a mag wherever/whenever.
