Do you buy Gaming magazines?
 
Taking a survey, thanks

PS: if you do buy regularly, please mention the magazines you buy, (PC Gamer, Computing Game World, Computer Games magazine, etc)

So why didn't you answer yourself Neal, or do you get them all for free ? :D

I never buy gaming magazines. I'm not into gaming that much to spend money on some subscription. Plus, if I am interested in a game I usually just look it up on the Internet.

Pc Gamer, usually. But only if there's a review of something I'm interested in... kindof 'see before you buy'. ;)

Never.

Like jumpy, PC Gamer if I see something I want to read about.

I used to but i hate paying for what amounts to a collection of advertizements.

I used to...before when the internet wasn't so good. Now you get everything online like in a mag, plus more. The more would be "real life opinions". How many times have I bought a game recommended by magazines only to find it doesn't live up to expectations? Plenty. Let's face it...magazine companies have vested interest through selling advertising space the games companies, forum users don't. Never read a gaming review which says "this game sux!" even if it does. :lol:

Always. every month without fail i buy two australian magazines as New Zealand is to poor to start its own :88)

PCPOWERPLAY good one this comes with 2 dvds of goodies every month and is only $12.95

PC Addict comes with 1 dvd and 1 cd for $8.95

With PC Powerplay you can request a Mod to be added to there mods section on the dvd - i have requested that they add Greywolves mod. As my DL speed is to slow. So far no luck.

Never.

Never. There are enough good gaming sites on the Internet.

Sometimes, if I have enough disposable income, but not as much now that I've got broadband. When I do, it's usually either PCGamer or Official PS2 magazine.

never. With internet around? Comon! :know:

Care to name some? I have never found any...usually just go to the official or fan websites/forums to find info on games.

Never. I wait and see what the crowd has to say.
