SR seem to want to improve themselves and this is shown in the expansion in sale items and constant need to improve the web site. Yet I haven't noticed much talk about any improvements in the SR magazine. I would love to see some sort of demo CD included with the SR magazine, you could include the games (pc ones) that have been reviewed in that particular issue. I would think that this would improve sales for the pc.
{i) The only problems I can see with this are as follows: increase in postage and packaging (perhaps, although a cd in a sleeve shouldn't really increase P&P).
(ii)the cost to produce these cd's (you may require to have some sort of license or something to distribute demos as well as having to produce these cd's)
{iii}and of course the fact that not all your members own pc's. Maybe you could add a new membership category where the member gets this demo cd with their issue of SR magazine for a small additional membership fee increase.

I think that there should perhaps be a bit more emphasis on the readers/members - Maybe a few pages dedicated to reviews, letters, etc.. Just an idea!!
One thing i would like to see is proper reviews.
At the moment they just seem to print out the marketing spiel that gets sent to them.
I know it may be difficult, as some publishers may say "Give out game good marks or you can't sell it". So how about printing reader reviews in the mag? This may help get round the situation.
