Well the AMAZING free gift is a gamecube disc adapter for a game dr. You know, that thing that cleans scratched discs. Not much use if you dont have one, but they have kindly supplied a £5 off voucher for said peripheral.

Anyway, reviews were

Metroid Prime-96%
Resident evil zero-86%
Harry potter-78%
Ty the tasmanian tiger-60%
Reign of fire-59%
Bomberman generations-70%
Legends of wrestling 2-50%
The sum of all fears-25%
Disney Sports football-69%
BMX XXX-48%


Quite a lot of reviews there, shame most of them arent on par with metroid and resi evil.

And what's the point in giving-away a guide book on how to do Mario SunShine when they've just gone-through it in the last 3 issues??

That's almost as-annoying-as GamesMaster and their free tips books you get every month that you have nowhere to put and have no use for.
I must have nearly 50 of those thing crammed-onto one of the shelves in my room!!


And I read the Editors' Page just after posting here yesterday, and then realised what it said! :)
But is that disc cleaner thing really that bad??
I found a few CD's and stuff that may actually need its services...
And there's one I leant to someone (god know why I did!!) and he hasn't given it back to me yet. I just know it's gonna look bad when I do get it back.... And I'm getting it back, whether he wants to give it or not!

I noticed that "Paul Harries" is the writer of the `Star Letter` this month... Wasn't that `Tha Playman`'s name??

Whatever happened to him??

Last thing I remember, he was moaning in FoG (Chat) about have not one GAD yet after a month-or-so, and then he just seemed to dissapear...

I'm sure I've also seen something else in NGC a few months back from him too - it was one of those `Bonus Letters` on the right-hand-side of the page.

And for the second-month-running they've failed to even mention my name along the bottom as one of the people who sent in something that didn't get printed...!

Where does it say this? I looked in the last issue and it says expressly that this issue (the one with the green disc) will be the host of the best gift yet.

They said the Best 'Free Gift Yet' wasn't the green disk thing but the 'Amazing' gift will be in one of the next few issues

I wouldnt bother, it looks a bit pointless if you dont have a game that doesnt work and even then a few issus ago NGC said that it scratched your disks even more.

Same with me but if you got the controller you'd have to pay £1.5o more every 3 months (£6 a year). This is abit like NOM's offer, if you get the subscription without the memory card you'd get if for £10 cheaper.

I can't believe that they believe this to be their "Best Free Gift Yet"... Disgracefull!! I was expecting a new DVD with all-new Metroid Prime and Zelda footage or something.... :(

Doubt that I'll ever use this, but I'll probably buy one of those Dr. things just because I can save £5 with that voucher.

And NOW they give-away free Logic 3 Controller, only 2 issues after I started my Subscription!! I was thinking of waiting 'till the new year and all too....!

The coolest ISP ever!
In my opinion, the ISP is the best I have ever used. They guarantee 'first time connection - everytime', which they have never let me down on.
10/10
Over the years I've become very jaded after many bad experiences with customer services, you have bucked the trend. Polite and efficient from the Freeola team, well done to all involved.
