Any opinions here on this magazine?

[Steve W]

I've always liked the magazine, although I only ever pick them up at game conventions, and I haven't been to one in a long time. Maybe I need to subscribe and get physical copies. Is it still possible to get the actual paper magazines by subscription and not digitally?

Hello,

At this time the magazine is only available in digital and print on demand via Magcloud (http://www.magcloud.com/browse/magazine/64425). On Magcloud, issues are available in two versions: one with a price guide and one without. The version without a price guide is intended as a cheaper alternative for those who just want to read the articles.

Starting with issue #35 (due out late December), readers will receive a 10% discount code off ANY purchase at videogametrader.com. So for those sitting on the fence, now may be an opportune time to subscribe.

Thanks.
