So I have been an Official Playstation Magazine subscriber since the beginning on the PS2, and love the magazine to bits. I though do feel that my needs are met online more then often these days, I will not stop my subscription.

Yup! I buy games™ every month, there's a few other's I read but I tend to buy them when something on the cover interests me, Edge, Retro Gamer, etc.

I used to buy both Nintendo Official Magazine and PC Gamer every month religiously, then, I just stopped. Nintendo magazine started pissing me off with it's coverage, and I found myself getting most of the same news I was getting from PC Gamer from Gamespot (back before it 'sploded over Kane and Lynch) it also didn't help that I was gaming on my PC less and less. 
 
Nowadays I only buy a magazine if something very special is in the issue, for example the last magazine I bought was PC Gamer's world exclusive review of Fallout 3.

I used to buy mags if they covered something special, but nowadays I feel that I'm just wasting money because I can get all the info online.

I get the Game Informer from Gamestop if that counts. Not bad. Decent toilet reading.

It's a side effect from getting an edge card.

Game Informer and EGM.  I've subscribed to Computer Gaming World (Games for Windows: The Official Magazine), PC Gamer, GameNow, and Expert Gamer in the past.

Despite the reviews being shit I pick up Edge pretty frequently.  Wish more gaming magazines had the production values that Edge has.
 
I've also started picking up the new EGM to see if I want to subscribe.

I used to. First I read a offical magazine written and published here in norway, but later went on to subscribe to a unoffical. Unoffical magazines always has the most useful info. But now I don't read any game magazines anymore. Got all I need here on Giant Bomb, and occasianaly out there... ON THE INTERNETZ

I used to buy the official Nintendo Magazine, PSM3 and Edge but I think the Nintendo magazine had a complete overall and lost all the staff members I liked so I kind of went off it. I just look at stuff online now, though I do sometimes get a magazine if it catches my eye

Before the internet I used to get Acorn Electron mag, CVG mag and random PS1 mags. Now I don't really see the point
