New! mousin's Free Magazine thread!

I think my mailman hates me.

He brings me stacks of magazines everyday.

I don't even really like some of them but its amusing to see the mailman carry all those magazines everyday. hahaha

I think I have at least 2 or 3 years of OPM left, are we going to get "our money" back?[/quote]
My sub was supposed to run until 5/09. Since Ziff Davis publishes EGM as well there is a fairly good chance that they'll transfer remaining subs to EGM. That would put me through until 2015.:lol: Here's hoping.
 
[quote name='Maklershed']I've heard of Spin but dont know much about it. Is it any good? Do I dare clutter my mailbox even further with this sub?[/quote]

If you are into some of the more "Indie" music now... Then yeah... It has a few good articles every now and then, but for somebody who likes heavier stuff, it isn't the best...

remember why everyone was asking why there was no more OPM offers just a couple of weeks ago? this announcement could be why. who knew?
 
I have 40 issues of OPM left. I wonder what will happen to them?

I have like 60 years of EGM left...so I don't really care for extra issues.
 
[quote name='leavemealone347']Anyone know of any EGM deals that I can do now that arn't expired yet? (I did that third one but it redirected me to someplace to buy some packages that I didn't want to buy so I'm not sure if I'm going to get the mag)

About how long will it take for them to come in?

EDIT: Also what job should I put to get mags free from these sites (like mercury)?[/QUOTE]

I dont think its the jobs that particularly get you the mags. I put retail for mine, and it worked.
The last link on the main page should still work. IIRC, after you sign up, it sends you to some other site, but I'm pretty sure it still signs you up. It takes 6-8 weeks till your first issue, or a couple of months usually.

Cool, I'll add that to the OP. Its ironic though. I checked when my last issue of OPM is, and its Jan 07. I still have EGM till 2022.
This is basically Ziff Davis's way of admitting the only good thing about their magazine was the demo discs. This month's EGM didn't give the review for Resistance, even telling us to check out OPM for the review instead.

Its kinda like Rolling Stone, but w/o all the rap, commercialism, and celebrities. Spin has more rock and indie to it. I subscribe and I like it. Its not that thick, so it shouldn't clutter your mailbox too much ;)

They'll probably add it over to your EGM subscription, like they did when XBM ended.
 
Oh my gods! i cant belive OPM is gone. I thought it was gonna be in hi demand with the ps3 coming out and they would have blueray demos and stuff. I smell microsofts hand in this! first e3 is gone then computergaming magazine then this....(sobs in corner):cry::cry::cry:
 
This may sound dumb but does anyone know anything about magazineoutlet.com are they reliable and will they charge me

You have to be careful when ordering discount subscriptions, because sometimes they automatically renew your subscription at the end of it, and charge your credit card for it, at a price not necessarily the price you got it for. I need to include something about that in the OP.

[quote name='idratherbedrinking']just in case no one knew OPM is printing there last issue this january

http://pspupdates.qj.net/tags/ziff-davis/8900[/quote]

I just emailed ZD about that. Over the summer, I stopped receiving my EGM and OPM, even though I still had eight months or so left in my scripts. They added the two missing issues onto my subscription, and then I started receiving them again...for two months, and then they stopped again.

So, I emailed them complaining again about missing issues and asked that what is left of my OPM can be rolled over onto EGM. I even mentioned that I received a renewal email from OPM a week before they announced the cancellation - even though I had six months left to go. I told them that at this rate, I won't renew any subscriptions with ZD...
 
Just recieved my first issue of Dime.

I'm so white, it's hillarious getting this magazine.


Signed up for Spin! Hope it comes :)

[quote name='leavemealone347']But how would they get your credit card? I'm sorry I'm in High School and don't have a credit card and don't really know much about this kind of stuff.[/QUOTE]
Basically, they would recharge your credit card after the subscription expires, without telling you. Then can do it automatically, since they already have your credit card # from when you originally ordered it.

(if you know of any)

Yeah, the 81 cents for a year special. Thats how I got mine.

IDK. It depends on the site where you order from, but I have no idea which ones will charge you and which ones wont. Try paying with PayPal or a debit/temporary giftcard/credit card, like they sell at those booths at the mall.
 
Wow! Thanks a lot for all the links. Btw, if anybody ever comes across some free mag subs for more stuff about cars or anything about guitars, I'd really appreciate it if they were posted. Thanks!
 
[quote name='yukine']I got another Photoshop User today. How many was the subscription for again? I thought I was only getting one.[/QUOTE]

I got another one too. I thought it was one, but I think I signed up multiple times.

Have they sent you guys any letters about billing or anything? The original link said "This sample copy is absolutely free, there's no obligation of any kind", so they cant start automatically charging you or anything. You might wanna contact their customer service, but then if they made a mistake and are giving you the magazine for free now, then you wont be getting it anymore.

Nope, not yet. If I get another one, I'll call them to see what's up.

I like getting them for free, but I don't want to be paying for them. :lol:
