Definitely worth . . . once a year or so they throw in a goofy Japanese game demo (untranslated). The mag isn't bad but the demo disc is fairly cool.
Getting it for under $2 per issue is a decent price.
There is a 6 month free deal that you can (or could) get by registering a game thru VU . . . see the free mag thread for details . . . I did it and it just added to my sub.
If you search, you can often find reduced prices online . . . here is OPM for $18.85 per year at magsforless.com (the are legit).
It's not as bad as EGM has become, but I still think the newer issues aren't as good as the old ones. Maybe the new editor in chief, Tom Byron, is to blame? Anyway, its still worth $20 to subscribe to.
I remember an offer in the mag deals somewhere...it led me to a place for a 3 year subscription to OPM for $20 that was like a year ago or so now. Since they say the free subscritption comes with disc well Free > $20 I guess.
I'm currently subscribed to it and it costed me 10-12 for a year. The only thing that i don't like is half the magazine is made of ads. Just don't expect free things like dvds or anything like that because they're only offered when you buy the magazine for 5 dollars.

I think you're looking at PSM, not OPM, which sucks. OPM is pretty damn good and a great deal at $20. The demo discs usually have a few good demos, though it's slow now since it's summer.

I find OPM to be quite bad, actually. The layout and organization of the magazine is horrid, many of the columns are incredibly stupid, and they cover a lot of crap about celebrities who play games, movies, etc. that are frankly uneccessary.
