Magazine is going digital this issue, but for whatever reason, the coupons are still available in store. It's in a brochure showing a preview of the magazine and talking about RZ Unlocked. There's also no UPC on it outside of the Unlocked sign-up UPC so it could actually be free. I'll try to get pictures up later.

Anyway, the coupons. Valid from 3/3 - 4/6:

$25 off Battlefield 3 (Standard) (PS3 & 360) - $15 AC
$25 off Dragon Ball Z Kinect (360) - $5 AC
$22 off Assassin's Creed: Revelations (360) - $8 AC
$20 off Doom 3 BFG Edition (PS3 & 360) - $20 AC
$20 off Tekken Tag Tournament 2 (PS3 & 360) - $20 AC
$10 off Zone Of The Enders HD Collection (PS3 & 360) - $20 AC
$20 off Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Pre-Owned (PS3 & 360) - $10 AC
$40 off Turtle Beach Ear Force DX12 - $80 AC

EDIT: An FAQ about @Gamer provided by whitereflection:

How do I access my digital magazine/coupons?
You will receive an e-mail with a link to the latest issue of the magazine. In the same e-mail is a second link to access the coupons, which you can either print out to use in-store or use online at bestbuy.com.

How do I receive the digital edition of the magazine?
If you are a new or renewing member, you will automatically receive the digital edition of the magazine. If you are a current print subscriber, you will continue to receive the print edition of the magazine until your subscription expires.

How do I convert my print subscription to digital?
Go to http://www.atgamermagazine.com/customerservice. Login with your subscriber info, which can be found on the mailing label of your magazine. Be aware that it takes up to four weeks to process your request.

I have not received the March issue yet.
The last issue was a double-issue for January/February. March issues have just started mailing and you should receive yours by the second week of the month. @Gamer is published ten times a year with double issues for January/February and July/August.

If you switch to digital, how quickly do they e-mail you the codes to use for in store and online? Would like to grab some stuff online!

It, probably, won't take affect until next month.
 
Really easy to redeem to coupon online for DBz. Especially if there is another price drop on ZoE I like that we are now able to use these online.
 
[quote name='Lemstar']Does using the same coupon both online and in-store actually work?[/QUOTE]

The way the coupon looks I would say no since it says "One-time use only", but I don't know how they would tell the difference between the promo code and the barcode, unless they match it with your reward zone info.
 
[quote name='TeamUnderdog']If I resubscribe today in store will they have the coupons available right away or will I have to wait for an email?[/QUOTE]

I just renewed yesterday. Bestbuy have a brochure with the march coupons on them. They should have given you a copy.
 
[quote name='metallicoholic']Same here. I actually just got my renewal e-mail and there's no mention of going digital. My subscription is a bit odd in that they never sent me my Jan/Feb issue, so I contacted them about it and they said they would just add an issue to my subscription. But then a few days later I got the Jan/Feb issue in the mail. So I don't know if I'm getting another issue or not.

Either way I don't think I'll be resubscribing until there's a good coupon to use. The last coupon I actually used was well over 6 months ago. I also haven't traded to BB in same amount of time. Until there's a good value game ($5-$10), I don't think I'll bother renewing.[/QUOTE]

What about the Victory can be Pre-Ordered promo? Seems silly to not subscribe if you want to part take in the promo.
 
Anyone figure out some price match's with coupons to get free games or next to nothing yet? Was able to snag FFXIII-2 last month for free thanks to amazon and the coupon :D
 
[quote name='Lemstar']Does using the same coupon both online and in-store actually work?[/QUOTE]

My guess is they are tied together. There was a promotion not that long ago where Best Buy would give you a gift card for buying a game and they emailed you a second code different from the first, but they were actually tied together.
 
I got the physical magazine in the mail yesterday.

I'm not sure if I understand the original poster-Will the magazine no longer be offered in a physical format? March's issue is the last one on my subscription, and if the mag is no longer physical, I'm not renewing.

Thanks!
 
[quote name='strait edge follower']still no coupons yet, come on bestbuy i aint got time for this !!!!!![/QUOTE]

[quote name='aznhero913']Thanks for the update guys!!!

Just saw it in my email and pick up DBZ w/ expedited shipping!

BTW, if anyone has a spare BF3 code, please feel free toss it my way![/QUOTE]

Anytime man!
 
magazine's digital now? was thinking of not re-upping, but now im definitely not. lol why would i pay for content that i can get for free on ign and kotaku. i love gameinformer for physical copy of a magazine, not exactly the content itself. i love saving the amazing cover art. i love having a huge stack of old magazines i can go through. i love that i can take my video game reading to the bathroom.

going digital ruins every single selling point. i wish best buy would just die already so others can step in and do things right.

And who do you think is going to step in and do things right?

You want best buy to die because you no longer have a physical magazine to read on the crapper? Lol ok. :roll:

I'll take a digital copy of of a magazine any day if it means getting $20 for preordering a game or getting coupons I can now use online.
 
Does anyone actually enjoy reading this magazine? It doesn't seem like a "legitimate" magazine to me like, say, EGM where it's actually enjoyable and well-written. Hell, it even comes up short when compared to other membership-based magazines like Game Informer.

It's good bathroom reading.

Certainly nothing to get all bent out of shape about because its going digital.

Everyone sums it up as bathroom reading. Nothing more then that. I miss EGM :cry:
 
WTF, I signed up on Feb 19, been unable to DL the new issue. I log in on their website and see that my first issue isn't until the April edition. Stupid as fuck.

You do realize that if Best Buy dies, Amazon and Gamestop will become even LESS competitive with their prices on games.

how are posters like him not silenced or temp banned? LOL
 
This is the first time in nearly a year that my digital coupons arrived right on time. Previously they were at least a day or two behind, one time nearly a week.
 
You can get the coupons in store or do you have to buy a subscription online?

@gamer is garbage now, I only want this issue for Tag 2. To my horror, I lost my copy of the game so I need a new one.
 
I just noticed these coupons can be used online as well. Has it been that way for a while with the digital version of these coupons?
 
My coworker was shocked when he saw the price on my pickup slip. He said, "Man, you're cheap." Lol, waiting for the rest of the coupons to drop in price as well. ^ To comment on the previous post. I checked the previous digital coupons, and at the top of the coupon, it states, "In Store Only."
 
Decided today to re-up after all, due to a confluence of several Facebook app Reward Zone certificates and using the $5 Dragon Ball Z Kinect and the $10 used Modern Warfare 3 coupons. The brief $5 Prototype 2 deal last month did a lot to alleviate my fears as well.

Got a GCU pamphlet (Bioshock Infinite logo) with a mini version of the March coupon sheet as part of my subscription so that I could use the current coupons immediately, so be on the lookout for that in-store. No physical copy of the actual magazine, though. Strangely, each game had to be purchased in a separate transaction, otherwise the system would freak out and not package out the coupons correctly.

Does anybody know if the 10% off used games GCU discount is still supposed to combine with an @Gamer used game coupon? I know that has worked many times in the past on previous used game purchases at Best Buy. However, I didn't get the 10% off Modern Warfare 3 today, so I wasn't sure if it was cashier error, my GCU information hadn't yet propagated into the system, or if this is the new policy now.

Nope this just started. I had the digital versions for last months mag, and it was just barcodes.

Same thing that happened to me. Almost the exact same day actually. Whatever. I still get the 10 magazines, I can still use the coupons regardless so whatever.

Has anyone found BB to have MW3 used in store for 30? On the site it says that, Gamestop has it for 20 used. Or any idea of how to get around that at all? I don't even have access to the coupons now as it is... I'm tempted to just give Amazon my money for it, pay more, and say screw them on it. Or Gamestop even given the better pricing without the need for a coupon.

And how do they handle the coupons with this? Is it a unique code for your account? Is it just like a regular coupon with a UPC basically? I'm really curious... cus I'd like to get the game for 10...but if I have to buy a copy of the magazine just for it and on top of that risk it being 45 in store? LOL NO.

let me get this striaght, so since the gcu magazine is ditgital, when you signed up in the store. you should be given a sheet of the current months coupon immediately at the store.
 
I have extra March Coupons (minus kinect dragon ball coupon),

If anyone wants some just pay shipping (like 1.50 with the envelope), or much needed extra microsoft points (80 msp would do :) )
 
so i just resubscribed to gamers digital. how do i get the magazine now? do you get an email with the link to it or i have to join a website? man i was excited to preorder i totally forgot to ask my gaming rep on how this digital subscription work.
 
Stupid question, but for digital coupons, do we have confirmation that they can be used twice (once with the barcode in store, and then online with he promo code?)

Thanks

I literally have no idea what this means. I have February's magazine. Their stupid magazine subscription says that I get my first issue in April. I am left with nothing for March.

Right, in the past they would give you the first issue of the magazine right there when you signed up, but since the magazine is no longer physical subscription, they give you the GCU pamphlet with the coupon sheet inside instead.
 
So those with a digital subscription are receiving their coupons already and those of us still on a print subscription are still waiting for our magazine in the mail, correct? I have always received my mag days before the coupons started.
