Just realised the official USA mag (with monthly playable disc etc) is only $24.95 for 12 months (under £16) compared to the £67.80 for 12 issues of the UK mag.

Explain that one Future, and no rubbish about printing/ distribution costs please.

Just waiting for email back from Future to see if I can subscribe to the USA mag (you can get UK mag delivered to the States)

I think you lot are forgetting one important thing...

The US coverdisk WON'T WORK on your UK Xbox.

It'll be NTSC, and your 'box will be PAL.

Sounds like cash only, someone has just told me to re-email them and confirm overseas mags DO also have the coverdiscs, apparently ones sent from here abroad don't.

So don't do anything yet.

Hmmm. Do you have to pay in cash though, can't you pay by card or wire?

They get LIVE enabled demos on their demo disks n all

And they almost always seem to have more demos/ movies/ features etc...

*sigh*
