    Nope, online sites like IGN, gamespot and even nintendo/sony with their emails keep me informed.

    I only buy one (no subs) if it's got something free with it...and not cheat books or game cases...like demos (not the vids-gone of those XD)

    Gaming magazines are loosing "market" to bigger sites like IGN, GameTrailers, Gamasutra, etc... They just can't provide enough content at a fair price(FREE).

    I bought one copy of NGamer, it gave me a ChainChomp bitchball, a frisbee and a Mario DS holder..

    Usually I go online to Gamespot but I do have a subscription to Game Informer I got with my Gamestop EDGE card.

    I used to have a subscription to Nintendo Power, but never bothered to renew it. This is a good deal though, might have to subscribe.

    I have been subscribed to nintendo power for awhile now. Its the only gaming magazine that I really read since I do not own a 360 or a PS3. Just a wii and my ds.

    So would I be able to get these subscriptions even if I live in Canada?

    A couple dollars more or five or so, I'm guessing.

    Gaming magazines now? lololololol. The only reason I ever bought them was for game demos. In fact, Pat has nearly all the PSX game demos from his dad, it's pretty sweet. Now, it's all available online, even the information of the mag goes online within the day it gets pushed out.

    I don't buy them anymore, too damned expensive. The internet is like one big interactive magazine anyway.
