You guys subscribe to OXM?

I just signed up for 2 years. I work security so it keeps me something reading at work.You guys subscribe to OXM?
hellz ya I subscribe to OXM! I love that magazine. It helps me to get through the lectures of my most boring professors. Just slide on in to a desk in the back and before I know it, class is over!You guys subscribe to OXM?
I pick the magazine up in the store sometimes. I might actually subscibe to it one day. I do like reading some of their articles.
I've only purchased something like three issues and it was mostly for an exclusive review.
I'm not. I don't really subscribe to magazines. I have a borders like 2 minutes away from where I live. I usually just walk there and read up on the latest gaming/pc/music mags there.
i used to buy mags all the time but i always avoided OXM. the reviews are borderline meaningless.



look at the past scores for games, they give any amounts of games 10s just to help sell the games, the things a advertisement not a critical magazine.



if they hammer the games they loose the offical licence so they brown nose ms.



stuff like PDZ got 10s so u know somethings not right

This.



Although I don't subscribe to any magazine because of the internet, OXM is one of the most worthless ones.

I used to pick it up from time to time, but right now its apparently vanished from my country. whatever, the reviews were kinda stupid anyway, and theres always a multiplatform mg that i buy sometimes and its cool but internet just makes me forget about it.
I only subscribe to Gameinformer because of the edge card.

Yeah, it's a good magazine. I get OXM and GameInformer.

The newstand price is pretty high, two magazines a yeah would almost pay for a years subscription.



I was a subscriber and then I stopped. They sent me advertisements to get to subscribe again. I held out until they offered 2 years for $24. The only thing is I don't get the game discs, but most of the stuff is on XBL anyway.
I like it. Been a subscription holder for almost 2 years. Something about being able to sit back in my ez-chair and read up on my favorite hobby without staring at a TV or monitor makes me happy.
[QUOTE=''craigalan23'']I only subscribe to Gameinformer because of the edge card.[/QUOTE]Same for me.
I was a subscriber when the first Xbox came out, but around the time the 360 came out that magazine went horrifically down hill. I don't know if they've changed anything yet, but last time I checked it was nothing like it use to be :(
I do, I used to get Game Informer but I'd rather get the demo disc seeing as I don't really read the reviews all that much anyway... I just use the internet.
[QUOTE=''AfroPirate''][QUOTE=''craigalan23'']I only subscribe to Gameinformer because of the edge card.[/QUOTE]Same for me.[/QUOTE]Ditto, though mine expires this month. I'll probably subscribe again once I finish up my current game line-up.
yupp! I love that magazine! it always has the first reviews for 360 exclusives! :D
I was a subscriber for a very long time, I believe from the second issue every. However, about a year into the 360's launch the magazine greatly went down in quality, and their reviews were terrible. They changed the review scale to 0.5, which is something I really hate about this site as well, and they handed out perfect scores to average games like Fight Night Round 3. The demo disk had demos on it that would come out months before hand on the Market place, and the ''Galaxy'' thing they made such a big deal about was amazingly pointless. I unsubscribed, and I really doubt that OXM will last much longer.
Yah, but I'm not sure if I'll renew it.
It has some neat cover stories here and there, but I mostly got it for the discs.

And, lately there's nothing really great on them.
I don't know what happened, but they've really been skimping on the disc content. They haven't had anything good in a while.
yeah the way i figure. i only own an Xbox 360 so why not OXM right?
