Completed the PC World mag offer, and it had a free subscription to Maxim as a special offer.
Is that the one issue or a year?

Hey aren't you a Teh Vesti member?
Anyways I think I have been banned from Mercury Magazines. I entered the wrong email when Mercury Magazine had the EGM deal going on and it worked great but now I'm using the first email I used for MM and I'm not getting any confirm or denied emails. This has been about 2 weeks now.

Same here. I cant remember when I got one last. Maybe 2 or 3 months back. And I maybe got only 3 issues as well. Oh well, the quality has really dropped since I read it as a kid anyways.

I no longer will be doing these free Magazines deals. I think someone just tried to scam me over the phone. I have been putting fake phone numbers and everything.
What they said was Maxim (They said a company name) They said people have been getting junk mail and phone calls and told me I should just ignore them and say "put me on the do not call list" then he said I need to up date your account and I need your Visa, Master card or w/e I said I don't have credit cards. Then he said I need your Bank number you order the mags with. I said I didn't order the mags I took a survey online and got them. He said well alright thank you click.

Yea whenever I would try to sign up for the Maxim subscription I would get a call from someone. I just told them no one here ever ordered the magazine. I never had any problems with any of the other magazines.

Perhaps someone is going through your trash.
The EGM links provided require job listing or ticket purchase.
Can anyone tell us what the correct job combination would be ?

The EGM subs are a joke. I mean, they're free but they send you 6 issues and you end up getting them all in like 3 months because they fulfill the sub with 3 back issues.
I got my first issue in August, the next month I got 3 issues starting in June. I just got the latest one yesterday which is my final one and it was attached with a bill for renewal if I chose to.

They must just not like you. Every EGM deal I have ever signed up for I either didnt get any, or got the full years worth one a month. And the fact that myself and most people on here have free EGM 'til 2011 and beyond is proof of that. I have had free EGM for the last 4 almost 5 years now.
Next time try selecting the IT Management jobs when asked, maybe thats the problem?

I guess the feeling is mutual since I stopped liking EGM when their issues became thinner and more so after they began using 1UP's review crew... but a free mag is still a free mag. :)
I've gotten 2 subs and neither have lasted more than 6 months. I don't know which sites I got them from, but I don't recall being asked what my profession was.

Haha, true to that. A whole year is as thick as one issue used to be. I lost a lot of respect when they blasted Assassins Creed because they werent given it to review early enough. And the only reason they give is because the game is repetitive (as are most games). But yea, free is free and it gives me something to read on the toilet.

Yes, the first link on page 78 is live again. I believe it's from Ziff Davis (the company that prints EGM) so it goes in and out of a live sub. Just keep it linked and check back from time to time.

Thanks for posting this info! I got screwed out of the rest of my "Games for Windows" sub. I was hoping Ziff would offer a transfer like they did here. Maxim is probably maxed out for me now (+70 issues).

They would have refund the money to the company that paid for your free subscription, ie. Not you.
I made the mistake of signing up for free Giant magazine (wasnt aware it was just a black person mag) and the ever horrific SPIN. Both sucked so much I didnt want it cluttering up my mail box so I canceled them and both times received an email stating I would not be the one to get the refund money back.
Thanks for that PC Mag link, wasnt even aware it was canned. I guess Ill get Maxim instead. (Wish FHM was still in USA, was 100 times the magazine Maxim tries to be).

I made the mistake of signing up for free Giant magazine (wasnt aware it was just a black person mag) and the ever horrific SPIN. Both sucked so much I didnt want it cluttering up my mail box so I canceled them and both times received an email stating I would not be the one to get the refund money back.
Giant used to be a great magazine, but about a year ago (maybe longer) they decided to turn it into another Vibe. I don't read it anymore, I just give it to someone else.

Same here, I thought the mag was going to be more entertainment related when the first issue had Jack Black on the cover...

- Ziff Davis announced EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) magazine is shutting down, the January 2009 issue was the very last issue after 20 years. The 1UP.com network of sites have been sold to UGO Entertainment. About 40 staffs have been laid off due to the shut down.

Yes, and no. EGM was like an old person. At its best it may have been great, but the last 5 or so years it was more sad to see it as a shell of its former self. Bias reviewers, idiotic sections by Seanbaby, more ads then articles at times, quarter the size it used to be.
The fact that it was free is the only reason I still subscribed to it. I usually flip through it on one sitting and toss it within 5 minutes.

Agreed. If it wasn't free, I wouldn't have subscribed to it. Game Informer is better, although there's not too many magazines left to choose from now. Edge and GamesTM still blow any of the US mags away, unfortunately.
Any word on what's going to happen to the remainder of our EGM subscriptions? I had about 10 years left on it. Are we going to be able to roll it into a different magazine?

Wait, EGM ended with the January issue? Is that the one with Wolverine on the cover? That's very abrupt...isn't there usually some sort of notice that accompanies a final issue? I know that was the case with PC Mag and Maxim or Stuff, whichever one got shit canned.
Well this sucks...my crapper reading material is dwindling :cry:

Damn! The demise of EGM is like an old friend passing away. I'm sad to see it go but at the same time I agree it was a shell of it's former self. I mainly kept my sub going for nostalgia and b/c I could get it for free thanx to you guys.
I enjoyed having it as crapper reading material as well as something to distract me while I exercise on the elliptical machine to help pass the time quicker.
I agree that the number of ads was annoying but Seanbaby's articles were funny IMHO. That was a short lived new rating system...
So is the consensus then that Game Infromer is the best US mag left? I haven't read GI since my Funcoland days several years ago and it was a joke then. Also I remember Gamepro being absolute crap.

Seeing as many of the Ziff-Davis publications are going digital, it's very likely you'll get to carry them over. your best bet is trying for a "refund."

That, and the more subscribers a Magazine has the more they can charge for ad space.
Magazines are being killed off because of how easily you can access the same or similar information on the internet for free and because the print industry hasn't changed the way they operate to fit in better with the internet age. Less of a focus on dime-a-dozen reviews, previews and month-late "news" would help. Needs more exclusive original content...and more Cowbell.

Yah that was what it was - bestdealmags. Only problem I had was that it takes about 1-2 months for the mag to show up (which is explained when you sign up), but as with anything you are waiting for it feels like forever. But it's the best choice for the high end gaming mags.

I highly recommend getting a subscription if you can get it for free. Interview Magazine is one of the most unintentionally hilarious magazines out there. It's chock full of (what else?) interviews with members of the entertainment community, a fact that isn't particularly noteworthy. What pushes it into comedy gold is that special interview that pops up a couple of times an issue where the artist tries to string together a deep and profound thought only for it to come out as inarticulate as you'd expect from Hollywood types. Foreign policy opinion from Henry Kissinger? Interesting. Foreign policy opinion from Lindsay Lohan, as interviewed by French Stewart? Also...interesting :).

I would not sign up for this one. I got a lot of spam afterward and never got the mag. Just a warning YMMV
I got Remedy, but it's a free mag no matter where you order it from, pretty much. Just a bunch of ads. They sell your name, address, e-mail to everyone they can.

A lot of times this implies that they're out of free subs. It's not that you don't have the right combo of things (it will take just about anything) but that they're out of free subs to give out.

Good riddance, I canceled my Blender subscription a few years ago. The last straw for me was 2 months after the Ashlee Simpson SNL blunder they did a concert review for Ashlee and gave her three stars for her concert. It proved my suspicions that Blender was taking money from the labels to push the record labels "hot new artists".

You gotta love their game reviews, especially when they review games that are months away from release (and not even close to being finished) and give them glowing scores.

Gamestop has a book of these in the store to be handed out for any Wii purchases of $30+ (or 40?). In any case, it expires tomorrow so I took two pages. You can work the codes backwards as well. I have 5-- but figured 4-. People may not have redeemed them.

Nice pickup then! I snagged 2, didn't want to be greedy, but I did not that I could work them backwards the whole way to "1" and "r" and they seemed to work. I'd be interested to know where it goes back from there. If I could crack that code, I might snag one more.

I think I cracked it. Tested with a couple.
If you have
5aaasmxv
the new code becomes
5aaasmyv
or
5aaasmzv
It's just an ascending letter change! So that means
6aaasmzw
6aaasmyw
work as well!

Maxim has been running the same stories for the past few years and practically doubled their ad content.

If you can find 3 monthlies you want it's about $1.65 for each issue. Not too bad. Adding a weekly like Time only costs an additional .75. Seems like a pretty good deal.
BTW, I don't think Xbox mag comes with the disc.
