A day late and a dollar short September 14, 2007 P. Vita (RI, USA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The mag is pretty good, although I think they rate games too high. My real complaint is that the magazine is always late!
NO DEMO DISC! Trust me, this is for the magazine only June 24, 2007 rlm2112 50 out of 64 found this review helpful
Here's the deal, I purchased this subscription thinking "[PRINT + DVD]" was actually TRUE. My first issue just came with NO DEMO DISC, and after calling Future (the subscription service provider) I was informed that the only way to get the Demo Disc is to either pay an extra dollar per issue over the phone, or have my amazon subscription canceled, and a new one started directly through them. Of course you have to pay again, and wait 4-6 weeks for a refund check for the original subscription.
In summary:
1 year subscription of magazine from Amazon = $24.95
1 year subscription of magazine AND DEMO DISC from Official Xbox Magizine website = $24.95
You fail Amazon
Disk is nice September 7, 2006 P. Ferony (NJ) 2 out of 6 found this review helpful
For $10 more you get the 12 demo disks also which is the way I would go.
Sometimes good, sometimes not April 30, 2006 starbucks lover (chicago) 1 out of 3 found this review helpful
I am writing simply for the magazine. The disc doesn't matter to me. Usually this magazine is so awesome, I can't stop reading it. Other times, I have to withstand waiting a whole month for my next one because I finished after reading for a minute. Take my advice, and read it at the store before buying. You'll be glad you did.
xbox magazine falls short February 14, 2006 Andrew Olson (Macon, GA) 2 out of 5 found this review helpful
Even though I own an Xbox, I haven't gotten a subscription to this magazine because I find that, for the most part, GameInformer (which I do have a subscription to) tends to have much better reviews for Xbox games than the so-called "official Xbox magazine". That being said, I do occasionally pick up an Xbox magazine from a local newsstand just to catch up on the world of Xbox mania, and I do admit that their coverage of the newly released Xbox 360 is quite exemplary. However, I don't recommend you get this magazine if you are looking for the Xbox demo discs. Why? BECAUSE THIS MAGAZINE DOESN'T HAVE THEM (another reason for the 3-star rating).
Signing off,
Andy Olson
