  1. Hello! I was just curious what devices are recommended for viewing magazines while traveling? Is there anything that has a good display and enough storage to hold a large collection of magazines/comic books? An iPad seems promising but larger storage sizes can get expensive. A Windows tablet might not be too bad but could lack apps. I've seen some e-ink displays online but hadn't used one hands-on before. Thanks!
  2. I think 237 was 'the lost issue' which they did release digitally through their app but didn't get a physical release. I've only ever seen that one where the images were screenshot into a Word file.
  3. I love reading old issues of PSM - so your work is greatly appreciated!
  4. I noticed there appears to be two pages in this upload that are from another issue. They are labeled as page 74e and 74f and appear to be from the Feb 2001 Issue 139.
  5. These do not appear to have the advertisements included. I thought one issue of the magazine itself had the link hidden in the fine print for readers to find the url.
  6. Sounds good, just wanted to make sure that I wasn't sitting on something unique that other people would benefit from.
  7. I was looking through my digital magazine files and found 118 PDFs of OXM ranging from 2001 to 2011. I had completely forgotten about them. There was a blurb at the bottom of one of the pages linking to this URL where you could download back issues from the publisher. I was curious if anyone else downloaded them like I did or if they would be useful to archive on the site.
  8. I had to check the cover listings on here, but it looks like the last regular issue of EGM was Summer 2014, so essentially a full year ago - that's hard to believe. But I suppose they are correct with special issue 004, in that there was also the Winter 2015 Buyers Guide, and the Xbox One/PS4 Buyers Guides.
  9. I wish there would be better communication with the subscribers. Either send a letter or post an update on the website. Just acknowledge that there is a problem getting the magazine published in a timely fashion, the reasons, and what the future plans are for the magazine. Take Retro Magazine (the one that began on Kickstarter) for example, they had some type of problem that delayed publishing of an issue and they sent an email to subscribers warning them of the delay and detailed their plans for the next issue. Good communication is a must.
  10. Just in case anyone is curious I did see the 2015 Winter Buyer's Guide in a Barnes and Noble book store this past week. There are four cover variants and it is labeled as "Winter 2015" on the spine, but is not given a proper issue number on the cover.
  11. Hey Everyone, I wasn't sure if this is the correct location for this topic, but I didn't see it discussed anywhere else on the site. I noticed some stories a few days ago saying that Future was looking to stem its current streak of operating losses (their share price dropped by 68% from Jan to Apr 2014 as a result) by eliminating redundancies within their organization and expediting their transition to digital publishing. As a result the OXM US team has been laid-off or terminated, and as a result subscribers will be receiving the OXM UK magazine. At least, it said a magazine published by the OXM UK team, I'd assume it's the same issue. Here are some sources that I've found: A retrospective by IGN_Ryan (McCaffrey): http://www.ign.com/blogs/ign_ryan/2014/04/25/thanks-for-everything-official-xbox-magazine Business-themed article by GamesIndustry International: http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2014-03-28-future-publishing-cuts-us-staff-by-a-third Discussion at NeoGAF: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=808156 OXM US twitter account, with some recent tweets adding clarification: https://twitter.com/OXM
  12. I received my issue today, although I didn't get to read through it completely, I thought it was interesting that they now hand out the "game of the issue" award in the review section, so at least they acknowledge the non-monthly format. The content of the issue is very solid (if a little light, considering the quarterly schedule) and I like the features that they have created - they've had some memorable top 20 lists, interviews, and op-eds lately. One thing I miss about the old mag is the upcoming release calendar, but that might be difficult to to with their quarterly schedule. I wonder if they won't be publishing their GOTY awards from 2013, even though it was already online so I guess it would be a little redundant.
