NEW YORK, March 5, 2008 ? Ziff Davis Media Inc. ("Ziff Davis" or the "Company"), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Ziff Davis Holdings Inc., announced today that it has reached an agreement with an ad hoc group of holders of more than 80% in principal amount of its Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes (the "Senior Secured Notes") on the terms of a restructuring to reduce substantially the Company's funded indebtedness.

If they even think about touching eweek I'll raise hell dammit...

No wonder they keep sending me monthly reminders to renew my magazine subscriptions even though none of them expire until after Thanksgiving.

I stopped subscribing to magazines years ago because most of the info I am interested in reading is online now.

hmm, i was wondering why they stopped producing 24 magazines a year down to 12, for the same price (or more?)

I stopped reading most magazines about 10 years ago. I can find all the same info on the 'net much quicker, and it's more current and up to date. As a bonus, if I want to delve into any subject further than what's in the mag, more info is just clicks away......

aww... I liked the Official US PlayStation Magazine when it was still around, but they discontinued that mag. But they run the Games for Windows mag (formerly Computer Gaming World), a very good pc gaming mag.... and EGM is a pretty good mag too. I love 1UP.com.

and jpeyton, why the hate for IGN? One of the better entertainment sites around, much better than GameSpy (even though they own gamespy now too) and much better than GameSpot. 1UP is good but not as varied as IGN, they got a much bigger network. And RottenTomatoes is an awesome site in the IGN network. :)

yep. I wasn't really concerned with making sure I reupped my subscriptions, as well... everything from the various 1UP network mags makes it to the 1UP website... which I keep a tab open to at all times, as well as IGN, and N4G. So I get enough gaming news I think, and for free. :)

Does this mean they'll FINALLY stop spamming me with eWeek? :D Try as hard as I might, there's no way to unsubscribe; they keep sending me MORE instead :|
