JCroniger Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 This is odd. I signed up for 2 years of Gamepro, but they sent EGM instead. I wonder if the 2 magazines are related? Verry odd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JCroniger Posted February 25, 2004 Share Posted February 25, 2004 Okay, the drugs wore off.... I checked my EGM and it expires in March '05. That must be the freebie. I'm still waiting on GamePro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sku_u Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 I just got a copy of EGM in the mail today. Does anyone other than 14 year old boys actually read this magazine? The writing is very poor and the "articles" are geared towards someone with add. Not to mention the tons of advertising. This one will probably end up in my recycling bin, or used as packing paper. I'm hoping the other magazine is better than this one and I'm still looking forward to getting Manci Games in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adams_ale Posted March 1, 2004 Share Posted March 1, 2004 Thank you McGrail!! I got my EGM about a week ago. Gamepro is aimed more for the young teenager, but it's better than nothing. My favorite gaming magazine is Game Informer which is put out by Game Stop stores. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Even getting it for free may be too high a price to pay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely. EGM used to be the holy grail in terms of video game literature, I'd say up until the Playstation came out. It has long since taken a turn for the worse. I stick to mags like Polygon Magazine for more intelligent printed gaming-related news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+-^CrossBow^- Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I have gotten a second Game Pro now. However, what bothered me about the deal is that I noticed my subscription is set to expire October 04...not o5?! I ordered this back in December from the link that McGrail provided...but it looks like I only get about 10 month subscription..considering the first issues were March..and I just got April's GP Saturday. Any Ideas? I can't complain since I didn't have to pay for it...but it still irks me the rest of you got at least a full year..and Mine staste Oct 04 on them. Hmm...

I signed up for a year and it went for 3. Don't count on it ending when it says it will.... Thank god Gamepro finally ended! I just got my first EGM a couple weeks ago.

Gregory DG Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Just wondering if these mags are going to offer more free subs? Heh, I've been getting GamePro, EGM, and Computer Gaming World for most of the year. I give the GPs and EGMs to my nephew after I've finished reading them (mostly in the bathroom. They're mostly toilet books anyway...) I see that EGM is doing it again at this link: https://www.zdmcirc.com/zdmcirc/promo/eb/index.html Wonder if I'll have to use a different name for them to send it?

sku_u Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 Oops, I guess it was 1 year ago, not 2. I posted about this in the magazines forum: About 2 years ago, I signed up for a free subscription to Gamepro. 2 years later, I'm getting Gamepro, Game Informer, Nintendo Power, EGM, 2 Xbox magazines and PC Games magazine. I've never bought a subscription to any videogame magazines. I guess they must really like me. If nothing else, they make for good packing material. Is anyone else around here getting bombarded with videogame magazines they never signed up for? I honestly hope they stop sending me magazines since minus the seanbaby sections, I haven't found too much of these magazines even remotely interesting, but I wouldn't be surprised if I kept receiving all of them for another year or 2.

yuppicide Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 You do realize that you're not getting actual magazines, right?! It says: "Simply fill in and submit the form to the right to receive EGM in the new digital version." -- you will be getting a digital version.. ie: email or website type thing. I don't know if this will work or not, but here is a link for what is suppose to be a free year of Electronic Gaming Monthly.http://eb.egmmag.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably would have been better to quote Gregory DG who pointed out that they are doing the offer again, which this year, is for a digital version. Sorry, just felt like nit picking.

holygrailvideogames.com Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 From what I have read online I would suggest subscribing to the digital version and then calling up Electronic Gaming and request that they switch it over to the actual magazine (paper version). I have heard that this works but I have not tried it myself. If I see any of the magazines again for free I will post them on here. Usually you can sign up for each offer and they will just extend your subscription. Some people have Maxim for the next 20 years from signing up for so many offers.
