 Disk is nice September 7, 2006

For $10 more you get the 12 demo disks also which is the way I would go.

I am writing simply for the magazine. The disc doesn't matter to me. Usually this magazine is so awesome, I can't stop reading it. Other times, I have to withstand waiting a whole month for my next one because I finished after reading for a minute. Take my advice, and read it at the store before buying. You'll be glad you did.
xbox magazine falls short February 14, 2006

Even though I own an Xbox, I haven't gotten a subscription to this magazine because I find that, for the most part, GameInformer (which I do have a subscription to) tends to have much better reviews for Xbox games than the so-called "official Xbox magazine". That being said, I do occasionally pick up an Xbox magazine from a local newsstand just to catch up on the world of Xbox mania, and I do admit that their coverage of the newly released Xbox 360 is quite exemplary. However, I don't recommend you get this magazine if you are looking for the Xbox demo discs. Why? BECAUSE THIS MAGAZINE DOESN'T HAVE THEM (another reason for the 3-star rating).
Signing off,

I'm sorry if I come on strong, but as a grown man who has ran
many companies, an avid techie/audiophile with a great sense of
electronic taste, I felt compelled to write.
First, it is true the the Xbox magazine is biased- it says it right in the name. I don't read the magazine to hear good reviews
of games for other platforms.
This magazine started a long time ago, and I think I was there
when it all began. I have seen the mag grow and try to do bigger
and better. One of those ways is the demo disc. You cannot call
yourself an Xbox fan and not receive it also. Sometimes, the demo alone proves to be entertaining enough that my fix is cured and no money was laid for a game I would have barely played. Plus, the images onscreen are much nicer to look at for upcoming games
than in print alone.
In regards to another reviewers comment- yes, the magazine could be thicker and it will when the 360 arrives. Two platforms
will add a few pages more and remember, this is not a multi mag.
If you have an Xbox and no subscription, you need to step away
from the computer right now, grab one of the mags' mailers or subscribe online. You won't be disappointed and no I'm not affiliated with the mag.

First off, we never received the magazine until 5 months after ordered!!! We have only received one or two issues. Extremely Poor Service, and why get the magazine with out the disc??? I wanted to get my husband a present for Christmas, not expecting something so poor to be offered through Amazon!!!!
Very displeased in PA!!
