I still buy a lot of magazines, but I haven't bought a game magazine (other than this issue of NP) in years and years. While its true "all that stuff is online anyway" I pretty much hate new games, so that's really the reason why for me.

There is still plenty of room for magazines. I still buy Grassroots Motorsports, Retro Car, Racecar Engineering, Racetech, Classic Motorsports, Dengeki Hobby, Hobby Japan, and UK photography magazines (for some reason US photo mags suck major dick, no idea why this is). All of these do what the internet rarely does. They have great photos, layouts, and the stories are longer than two paragraphs.

Part of whats killing off magazines (one of many things) is that people don't want to pay for intellectual property anymore...AT ALL. Too f*cking cheap to buy music, too cheap to pay more than $0.99 for a game...they sure as f*ck aren't going to drop $6 on a magazine.

Heh. I can see that being apart of it. Everybody loves free, if possible. All of us have succumb to that in one way or another.

Let me be second on this list!

I went to every Barnes and Nobel and supermarket and Walgreens in town and didn't find a copy.  I hate the thought of paying $30 to get it on ebay.

Ditto.  They accepted my order, then sent me an order cancellation letter a week later.   :(

I didn't get the magazine or the cancellation email. Not yet anyway.

I also tried looking in my local Barnes & Noble stores and couldn't find a single copy. I then looked on Ebay and found a guy selling 8 different copies!

It's guys like these that made the magazine sell out in bookstores so quickly I figure!
