Completely legitimate too.

Computer Gaming World
Electronic Gaming Monthly
Official Playstation Magazine
Xbox Nation (XBN)

I've done this before with Gamepro. Thing is, it's been way over a year (I think I signed up for their free "Year" subscription deal back in 03, through Gamespy) and I'm still getting them.

Yeah, I definitely got an extra few GamePros after my subscription supposedly ran out (I forget precisely how I subscribed in the first place). This was back in like 2000 or so.

Yep.

That's how it worked for the Gamepro thing when I did it. This looks exactly the same too, so I'm sure that's "it".

It just seems a little too good to be true. By the way, I signed up for all four. That would be awesome if I actually start getting them all.

I noticed that for each one, it says your registering a different game.

Well, if you're a poker player, there's here...

It's not really "free", as you usually have to play a certain number of raked hands to actually get your money, but it's about as close as you'll get.

EDIT: Jesus, I fucking typed that Kitten Yiffer-style.

I know this is a 4 month old bump, but since I'm a moderator of this forum you can't complain because I'm more powerful than you it's for a purpose.

I got a Computer Gaming Monthly Magazine recently, CGM, from this. So I thought I'd ask, has anyone else gotten anything?

Yesterday I got an issue of EGM in the mail, and I signed up the very day you posted this thread. O_o

Still cool though. I haven't had an issue of EGM in years, alas, the quality has gone down-hill by quite a bit.

Ah good news, I hope I'll be getting EGM myself.

Heh, it's good getting nothing but free magazines.
I'm still getting Gamepro's, which I signed up through some Best Buy deal thing almost over 2 years ago (completely free), and yeah.

CGM doesn't seem all that great, it wasn't even 100 pages, on top of that I'm not much of a PC Gamer myself.

And according to my friend, XBN has gone out of print, is that true?

I signed up for one (and was AMAZED that they didn't care I lived in Canada ), let's see if it comes or not. Of course, they pretty much tell you they'll spam your email. Yay for second accounts.
