Hate to be the gloomy guss here but I sure hope I get an actual mag I can hold in my hands while I do my stuff in the morning because this is what I just got:

Dear Reader,

Your new issue of Computer Gaming World is here!

Pick up the Aug-06 issue now.

For help with your download settings or other features of your digital magazine, refer to the Zinio Reader User Guide

Enjoy your magazine!

Its a link to an "digital" issue. This will sure suck and yes I know its free but I only read while I am in the can and was hoping for some more reading material while letting the kids off at the pool to play :(

Umm, okay, this deal was great. But my subscription is up until Jan 2009. This only one free year then the rest I?m screwed for paying 2 years of it?

It will add on another year to your existing sub. I'm good thru 2010! :D

I never had a subscription of this mag. I just signed up with the promotion to get it. But once I received the first mag, it said I was subscribed until Jan 2009. So basically this is my first year free. If the promotion was only for 1 year free, then they just screwed me by signing me in for 3 years. I'm expected to pay the 2 years?

stop bolding everything like you have something important to add :roll:

i actually just got a call asking me to re-up on this after a year of freebies. not a bad mag, kinda redundant and sometimes late but its a good freebie.
