Retro Gamer for US citizens

[TheRedEye]

Oh yeah, that one too. I guess this must come up a lot?

[Deadman]

Oh what's this pop-up here? www.tripletags.com? Keeps popping up just in this thread for some reason asking for some password. Do I have to be 'tripically' concerned?

YES! I keep getting it too. I assumed it was some spyware on my system so I did a complete scan and I'm clean. Did someone stick a virus in one of the tags in this thread? Is that possible? Can I please ask more questions??

It's Wolfrider31's signature. The site he's linking from must've messed with the signature settings.

[Lady Jaye]

Yes, and I've asked him to remove that sig.

[Kitsune Sniper]

To everyone else, add "http://www.tripletags.com/uploads/W/Wolfrider31384129634.jpg" (no quotes) to your Adblock to get rid of the problem. I just did, I reloaded, and the prompt was gone.

[PapaStu]

Yes, and I've asked him to remove that sig.

I've gone ahead and removed it from his signature for the time being. So popupblocking isn't necessary. (I wasn't seeing it because I was surfing in WorkSafe mode). A second PM is being sent to WolfRider about that now.

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.

10% off if you have a B&N card as well...

i've bought a few issues at retail for about 10.25 I believe. Pretty typical for a UK magazine. My subscription set me back 110 or so I believe. Expensive but I've loved reading it. Might resubscribe depends on whether I will have the time, money, and continue playing games....

this price drop is helpful!

Yeah sorry about that. Didn't realize it was affecting anyone. I'll keep that crap out of my sig from now on.

I just got the newest issue (FF cover), and there is a full page ad about the reduced USA price. It looks like the reduced pricing is valid through April.

I have been a subscriber since issue 3 and i have never had
a copy arrive damaged.

[timewarpgamer]

Just put in my order! The page now correctly displays 50 pounds for US subscriptions, which is a hell of a lot better than paying $10 for 13 issues at Barnes and Noble. Going to be checking the mail a whole lot more frequently now...

I write for http://www.classicvgm.com/

"Classic Video Gamer Magazine"

I must point out that in the free preview of issue #2, in my Iron Soldier review, the final score of 7 is a misprint as I gave it an 8.5 or something (can't remember now :P). But it is fixed in the printed copy, or so I've heard!

I write for Classic VGM as well and read your reviews, your reviews are pretty good man.

Thanks! That's funny, we write for the same mag and didn't even know it. :P I probably liked what you wrote as well. What name do you write under?

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.

Can't you just create a new subscription? I went to the old site and 50 GBP still shows up. I got as far as the order page and that amount still shows.

it really needs a north american version

You're right. I guess I can hope that in two months when it's time to re-sub, it will still be going. Thanks!

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 have been reading and collecting your mag since 2004. I even bought the iPhone app. Can't wait to see it on an iPad.
Just bought the recent issue with Rainbow Islands as the feature.

I love your magazine, no matter if it's 10 or 20 bucks. Great work.
