EGM subscriptions are up.

Love the fact that they are using better paper. EGM started getting really cheap/thin later on.

Also, I doubt we'll see as many free subscriptions this time. I was getting EGM for 4 years, and had a few more to go, before they tanked. And you can't blame me for getting them for free. Who the hell wouldn't?

With the last EGM I was able to get a subscription for Austria and I still can choose the country in the link, but will they send it to me?

edit: just tried and it gives me: Incorrect term for your country.

well, obviously because I can't choose a state xD

Up here in Canada I didn't get Maxim OR any subscription fees back when they got the axe. I know, shocking, I actually paid for EGM.

I feel stupid giving them even more money.

Subscribed. It will be interesting to see what kind of editorial tone they go with. We all know how much things have changed--I wish them all the best.

I'm torn; if I'm able to read the digital issues on my iPod that's great and all but I'm not sure what content they can offer that GAF/demos/podcasts don't already provide.

So I placed my order and it just refreshed the order page with all my info on it, no confirmation page or anything.

Did this happen to anyone else? I don't want to click it again and get charged twice.

Yea I'm pumped about the nice paper as well, and I agree I hope they go back to the old font for EGM which actually wrote out Electronic Gaming Monthly.

Neoism - Think you should change your avvy a few more times in the past 5 mins? :D

I would love to see a digital only subscription option. With Kindle's and soon the iPad becoming more and more popular, I would rather not clutter my house with physical copies. Also with digital, I would be able to access and search old issues in an instant. If EGM can somehow translate their paper issues to digital they can count me in.

If Sean Baby is gone and they start paying attention to more than the 16 year old male demographic I might pay attention.

Ha, I've got over two boxes full of EGM's going from 2000 to 2009(?) and scattered issues everywhere.

But I never got my Maxim issues when my subscription ended so no boobies = no new subscription.

Yeah, this I would subscribe to. I'm not paying for more paper to throw away.

Cool, signed up for 6 months. If it looks like the magazine will stick around I'll jump in for a year next time

For those talking about the iPad, read http://www.egmnow.com/

EGM is a complex endeavor that required many months of hard work and, as we get closer to launch, I'll share more specifics (including how it will interface with the iPad and the next generation of tablets).

Tariffs on American magazines that were brought in under Chretien in the mid 1990s. You know, since having access to things printed in other countries would kill Canadian culture. Fucking Liberal bullshit protectionism because Time was outselling Maclean's.

You should feel stupid for ignoring that this is a different company publishing it now.

Very interesting. I didn't know that.
I'd always presumed that it was mostly the increased shipping costs and the lower value that american advertisers would place on Canadian readers (since many ads would be not be as relevant to Canadians).

I just hope they have great cover art like they did for the year or so previous to the year before they died. Sorta like GameInformer is getting now. I'm also hoping for great rumors again as well as Exclusive Previews. Am I hoping for too much? Yep, but I already subscribed.

It's important to protect Canadian culture. Tariffs are merely the wrong way to do it. Rewarding Canadians for creating content instead of punishing Americans for exporting content would be much more helpful.

While I'm happy that there will be another games magazine in print, I will wait for impressions before I buy a subscription.

I'm actually more interested in the digital version as I might get an iPad down the line. Not sure if I'll subscribe for 6 months or a year. I suppose I'll sleep on it.

Despite the fact that 1) I loved EGM and 2) have over 150 issues stored away, I just can't see my self subscribing due to their lack of PC game coverage. I spend probably 90% of my gaming time on PC these days and to have a gaming mag that doesn't cover the format is mind boggling. Still, I wish them the best of luck.

Is this still in place? Chretien hasn't been in power for a few elections now, right?

The Conservatives certainly didn't waste any time dismantling all the environmental programs the Liberals put in place.

You might want to ask them why they haven't done the same for magazine tariffs...

And for something slightly more on topic--why don't they bring back "next generation". That mag walked all over EGM. And Sean Baby? Yah, I'll pass. Looks like I just saved myself damn near $60. Thanks Twitter!

Sounds good, but i want a real app. They can even add the print issues to this app and sell subscriptions internationally way easier than sending the magazine around the world.
