@DaveGX - The current model NF is using to distribute Issue #1 (MagCloud) and the way they've set up orders for #1 is that if you buy the print version, you also get a free copy of the digital version too. I'm not sure how subscriptions will work with Issue #2, as they've mentioned they're moving to a different publisher for the next issue (I think they said they went to MagCloud for the first one so they could get it to us as fast as possible given the time constraints), but (hopefully) they'll keep a Print + Digital subscription available for future issues. So, there's no need to juggle getting a print but no digital copy subscription because that option probably won't even exist!

So I'm just now ordering mine (no idea why) and the coupon code doesn't work.

<_<

Perfect.

Got my issue today; awesome!

While i've only flipped through and read a bit so far, i am absolutely impressed. If i didn't know otherwise, i would honestly think this was an issue of NP (only vastly improved and ad-free). And i absolutely love that there's quite a bit of retro content in there.

As a side note, the printing-quality is fabulous, with nice heavy pages and thick cover — only minor pieces of constructive critcism on that front would be that the portions that have small white text on black background, while finely readable, have a bit of "background color bleed" going on (which, if it was worse, would make the text very difficult to read). Also, the "what games are you looking forward to" bit has dark blue/purple text on black background, which is never reccomended.

Got my issue today too. Looking forward to reading it, as the digital version is kind of a pain to read.

@TysonOfTime Thats why it was free.

The digital version is a pleasure to read using the MagCloud reader app on my iPad (resolution aside - I hope they go with Newsstand going forward), and I imagine reading the PDF on any other tablet would be fine as well. I can certainly understand your difficulty with the digital edition if you're reading on a computer, as I hated Game Informer Digital until I was able to read it on a tablet.

What I am saying is, digital magazines were never meant to be read on a computer - they're much more at home on something like a tablet. For many people I know nothing will compare to a physical copy you can hold in your hand, but don't knock digital mags until you've read a couple on a tablet.

I knew it!

hahahaha

I still haven't bought the magazine nor sent my subscription request. I feel bad.

Got my physical copy of the magazine today and it's awesome! Ordered it on the first day possible and took a brief look at the digital version but decided to wait for the physical copy before reading more. Funny how I can't seem to find anything written by Josh Thomas. Is he too busy playing, making videos and writing an article about Animal Crossing: New Leaf?

Thanks Birdman and TBD! Awesome, ordered.

I didn't catch any articles by Corbie, either, though I may have missed something.

Super Mario Bros. Lost Levels review and Rayman Legends article are ones I can think of right now. I'm pretty sure there are even more articles by him.

I'm guessing he also hooked up that interview with Renegade Kid, considering how we worked with Jools to design Mutant Mudds's Grannie levels. That's just speculation, however; haven't flipped through my issue in a few days.

The day you all have been waiting for is less than 24 hours away!

This is all I have to say.
