Sorry xezekielx! That's the way it had to work, unfortunately. That's why we're on the internet! :)

And consider me signed up. I'm always interested in something besides Maya, Mudbox, and Photoshop to run on my PC (well, aside from Orion Platinum)

I assume once they get the 25,000 entries it'll be removed, and until then we're all guaranteed it?

Anyways, thank you Joystiq! It'll give me something else to read monthly outside of my Nintendo Power. Even that doesn't give me enough of a read for a month anymore. ><

Canadians always get the shaft when it comes to stuff like this, don't they?

I guess I got in. Never got a confirmation email or anything like that, but it said it received my information.

Thanks

As with every contest or promotion related to games and gaming we poor Canadians are not included. It seems every contest has the line "US residents only" We, up here in Canada read Joystiq also....

Do they still include demo discs in their magazine? Either way, it's still a good magazine, and free...well, who can argue with that? Thanks Joystiq!

I went into an EB and tried out the Games for Windows kiosk. I selected "demos" and then chose Tomb Raider. After a minute or so of watching the demo load I was greeted with an image of Lara's face, the option to return to the main menu, but no demo. I did everything I could to get to a demo, but nothing happened so I went back to the main menu. This time I chose a Legos Star Wars game and basically the same thing happened again. I tried Tomb Raider again and got the same result.


Blah blah blah, wah, wah, wah, you can apologize for Microsoft all you want but it isn't going to change the fact that I had an all-too typical experience with a Microsoft product. I guess I'm lucky that the controller didn't short circuit and shock me.

I'm afraid contests are often limited by country for all sorts of obtuse and infuriating legal reasons (any lawyers want to edify us?). We try to keep our own contests open to everyone (shipping be damned!).

They should have stuck with that original plan to integrate the Xbox 360 into a PC. That would kick ass. Imagine if every new PC had an Xbox 360 built into the hardware. Imagine how much they would profit. It would be incredible. I think that could be the future.

I love magazines that make most of their profit off of advertising... It means we get them free (Or for one buck a month in the case of Wired)

sure, free.
and i'm sure they won't be soliciting our "free" information to 3rd party companies.
but i'll take a little advertising for a free year of a mag.

I'll wait until they make a Games For Macs magazine.

Oh wait, that's never ever going to happen.

Sigh.

Is this a digital subscription where I have to download the pdf version or is it the REAL physical magazine? I hate Ziff-Davis's digital subscription crap....

Somebody posted this on digg, so I hope that the legit Joystiq users get the free subscriptions that they actually deserve before the diggers can get to them. Posting stuff like this on digg is just ignorant.

No entirely true. In years past, there were a small handful of contests that were open only towards Canada and not US. But eh, those were still far and few

Thanks for the free Mag :) I'm still with the free EGM subscription I got a while back, I believe I heard about it on here.

Nice that this is free, but in my oppinion, magazines should be free anyways. This is considdering that around 50%+/- of magazine content are advertisements. :P

Read you guys often. Didn't expect free stuff (in addition to the free hunting and gathering of gaming news you provide).

Does it mean people actually living in the US or just a US address to ship the magazines to?

There are POBoxes for people not living in the US...

I must say, this is pretty great.
Thanks Joystiq for making sure that "Free" really meant free.

I'm sure it's all just a ploy to help boost their ad revenue (higher readership = higher cost to place ads) but it's all in good fun. And we are the target demographic for the mag *and* the advertisers so it works out I think.
