Will you be subscribing to the new EGM coming out soon?

1. Personality. If the people writing the articles and reviews are devoid of any sense of humor or Personality, its a big turn off for me. I dont want a bunch of tools writing my stuff.

  
2. Non Biased, truthful reviews. If your gonna give a great score to every big name game just so you can appease the Developers and companys, than im not gonna read your mag. If a game sucks, I expect you to say that it sucks. Regardless waht teh Budget or Marketing push is for it. It could be Halo 4 for all I care, and if it ends up sucking, you should say it sucks.

 
3. High Quality Pictures and pages. IF you magazine looks like it was made by some kid in Photoshop, than no thanks. I want the pics to look Vibrant and eye catching, not lifeless and dull. some sheen is nice.

 
4. Interesting and Articles that appeal to me as a gamer. I want interviews with the big wigs of the Big three. The developers taht make the games, and teaches em something I already didnt know about a game. I know that last part is hard with the Internet nowadays, but its still something I look for.

 
5. Leangth. I hate short Mags, makes me feel like I wasted my money on something thats thin. I want some quantity with my mag.

 
6. Exclusives. I know Game Informer is the one to beat on this front, but if your going to have a game on your front cover that I know everything about, than im not going to be interested. Maybe have a game I never heard of before, or one that we know next to nothing about.

 
7. E3 Coverage and Event coverage. I want my Mag to give me its Perspective on what happened at these big events on E3, and maybe give a grade to teh Press Conferences and all that.

 
8. Not filled with a bunch of Fanboys that favor one console over the others:  If you have a Multiconsole Mag, and all you do is mainly focus on 360 Exclusives for Cover stories, and are blatantly against every other console, then you dont deserve to be a mag.
 
9. And above all else, I want a mag that Gives a damn about me, the reader. This may sound odd, but theres alot of mags out there that could give a rats ass what you think. They think youll just read, and youll like it. I hate this, and I really hope this mag isnt like taht.    

Should be a poll, and yes because the price is so low (64 issues for 25 dollars?!?!?!)

No.  I get all my video game news online.

It intrigues me. I may have to look into this now for such a low price. There's something about opening up a magazine that's so much more exciting than reading an internet article.

Internet is good for its immediacy and easier to get community feedback on stuff as well. But nothing beats printed material. My local rag I read is Hyper though, and occasionally I'll pick up a game informer or a game pro or whatever it is because it is pretty cheap if I still have a while to wait until my next issue of Hyper hits.

I will wait and see how it is. I haven't read a gaming magazine in a loooong time.

I'm going to wait until they offer the digital version subscriptions as I will be likely moving in a year, and I know I WILL forget to let them know I changed addresses.

I didn't subscribe to it before so I doubt I will now.
 
Print isn't completely dead so if they managed to pull something really exciting off, I could change my mind.

Yes. Even though I'll know all the news articles by the time it comes out, I still love reading magazines.

I used to subscribe to them back in the day. And it is nice to have a physical magazine to be able to carry around and flip through. But maybe they should have done a weekly magazine to keep the information even more up to date.

" @jukezypoo: isnt it 12 print issue and like 50 something digital ones each week? "

Hell yes. Thank you for letting me know that they are taking subscriptions. I signed up immediately.

I used to be subscribed to EGM a really long time ago, but ended it because I always got the information faster online.

I'll be buying one in a store before I consider subscribing. I'd love if it was good though. Having a nice meaty game magazine lying around is great.

No, it's a year of print (12 issues, one each month) and 52 digital issues, one per week, also coming out to a year.  The $15 choice is half that. "

unsure i'll have to see.

Alright then, clears it all up; regardless my answer still remains the same. "

Yeah, I still think it's a good deal. Just don't want anyone rushing to buy it thinking they are getting something like five years worth of print magazines, haha. "

With BitMob and CO-OP currently being free access to what those guys' work... I'll have to wait and see what new things they do with this new business model before I shell some dough for it.

I subscribed to the 6 month version for $14.99.  If the first 6 months are great I'll renew for a full year.

Wow EGM is bringing back its printed stuff. I read that magazine for years and thought it was great. but the last year or so it was around the writing felt a bit bland. Are they going to have the same people working on it or a whole new staff i wonder?

No, EGM is only for chumps who shop at GameStop.

I'll have to see how the first few issues are before committing on a subscription.  I have high hopes, though.

I do not subscribe to any physical magazines nor will I. An affordable digital version is fine, as long as it doesn't have frustrating DRM (how about giving me PDFs with no DRM and only my name on each page?) and does have high quality content that I won't be able to get anywhere else. If the digital issues don't have the same content of the printed versions, then I'm not interested. I'm also not interested in spending more than $10 or $15 at the absolute max, regardless of how many they'll be putting out over the period of a year.

Nope, screw print to all hell. Internets for life!

Well, I don't know.  I'd like to support Dan Hsu and all he does, but on the same note, I get Game Informer now and I never read it.  I only read stuff on the internet these days (and from the back of cereal boxes.)

Game Informer pretty much killed my interests in magazines. Having the internet widely available doesn't help.
