Thats fucking it! I am filing a complaint with the postmaster Monday.

First I never got the OXM holiday issue. Double Agent from Gamefly while on its way to me disappeared and now I still haven't gotten the last OXM issue with Lost Planet on the cover.

My postal office is screwing me too. I know someone who works at the PO and he said that there are very strick penalties for reading peoples mail (not to mention stealing it). He said it happens quite a bit though. I have missed so many magazines recently.

fyi on the title...OXM :)

[muncle]

Is this on newstands now?

Edit:
Also, is the Call of Duty 3 demo online or offline?

[coolz481]

How close is Blue Dragon to release if it's already reviewed? Or was it a special import review instead (have they ever done those in OXM)?

I would like to know also.

[BREVITY]

God I wish Blue Dragon was closer.
Edit: I was wanting to know just how close this was or if they rated the JP version so I went out and checked EB.

I think its just stupid to rate the import version of the game since many things could change in six or more months. OXM is just a pile of shame for so many reasons, I add this to the growing list. Why on earth cant it go the way of OPM? At least OPM was worth a dam.

New Star Wars game!? Nice! Also the Thieves' Den is is one of the two downloads I didn't get yet. I'll have to pick this issue up.

[Surferflames]

I don't normally read OXM but I will definatly pick this one up for the Oblivion content.

It was a import review.

How much does OXM cost?

[trq]

$9.99, I think. So $5.00 for the Oblivion content, and $5.00 for a mediocre mag and a CoD3 demo.

[doubledown]

How much does OXM cost?

$24.99 / year

[PyroGamer]

Wow. Nice issue.

Now if only OXM would replace its entire staff (or at least its EIC), they could do a 180 and start rocking again.

How does the DLC on an OXM disc work? Does it just copy it to the HD? Do they include a code? I know with Arcade Unplugged you have to have the disc, but that obviously won't work with Oblivion.

SF arcade controller HMM? interesting.

It copies it to the hard drive from the disk. Marketplace still shows it as not being purchased so I'm not exactly sure how that works.

Thanks. So you can freely load it on your hard drive as long as you have the DVD. That's fine with me.

I bought the wrong issue tonight like a moron. I just bought OXM off the shelf, not realizing the issue wasn't out yet. There's a waste of $10.

I'll pass for that price and just download the content on the marketplace if I want it.
