So for anyone else who reported the problem with OXM, did you also get an extension on your subscription?
Yea I did too but it was extended to August '11 which was the original end date(?)

Mine reply was :
If you've not received your first issue by August 17, 2010 please write back to us on the link below:
So, got to wait till Wednesday.

Also did anyone else get the 5 dollar mag credit?
 
The guys who are having issues with their magazines, how are you contacting them? I don't want to talk to Amazon about it because I don't think they have anything to do with the missed issues here, I just want to talk to the magazines or atleast email them and get my address sorted out.
 
I just filed a complaint about not receiving my OXM and got this right on the main page:

Order Update: Official Xbox Magazine
Order Alert Due to heavy demand, you may be experiencing a delay in receiving your first issue. If you have not yet received your first issue, you can expect to do so no later than August 24. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Just filed my complaint with Amazon for OXM. I should have received my first issue by August 13th. I've received two of NP and one of OPM.

Haven't got my OXM yet, but I received a response saying my subscription has been credited some extra months.

I also ordered Popular Science a couple weeks after I ordered OXM and complained about it not arriving. Yesterday I got the July and August issues in my mailbox.

Yeah, I'm going to contact Amazon tomorrow, still no OXM here either.

Same here. I was hoping this thread would pop up soon so I could see where other's were at with their OXM subs.

WTF, I just checked my purchase history and now all of the sudden my order for OXM on Amazon is completely removed like it never happened. No email, nothing. I sent them a very strongly worded email to customer support. I advise all of you to check your status as well.

Mine is still there. They say the issue should arrive by 8/24/2010

Yeah, I got my OXM last night. Not sure why it took that much longer than OPM and NP, but hey, it's here. Reach issue is pretty good, too.

They have a 2-year (no CD) subscription to PC Gamer for $14.95 until the end of the month.

I like the podcast and quite liked the magazine when I used to subscribe, (and I'm not interested in the CD) so I'm going to sign up again.

I got PC Gamer for a while after EGM died but man PC Gamer is like 90 pages now. Or at least last I read. So sad when compared to the Whitta days.

Got my October issue of PC Gamer last week... and everything inside it, including the ads, is stale and outdated. I love these guys and used to buy their rags years ago but damn if I didn't feel like I paid for them to send me a PC-centric ad catalog. There are 3 cyberpower full page or 2 page ads in this issue alone.

Yeah PC Gamer is kind of shitty, wish I had gone with OXM. The pictures are nice though. Oh well maybe next time.

Finally got my first OXM issue in and have poured through it. I saw this issue already at the stores so hopefully the next one arrives earlier/soon.

Yeah, I've always enjoyed video game mags for some reason but it seems like you can read through them in like 5 minutes. It's worth $5 for a year of them, though, I just wish I had sub'd for Nintendo Power as well.
