White Dwarf renewal time? or ditching time? So my most recent subscription to White Dwarf here in the UK ended with the January issue (337UK, 336US). My big quandary now is should I renew a subscription for a frankly far poorer magazine than it used to be just for the sake of completeness.
These days there's generally 1 good article in an issue, Standard Bearer is usually interesting as well.
The website pieces are becoming better and are providing all the things that used to be in the old style WD's that everyone misses.
I'm one of those people who will get something just to complete the set tho, so I have a natural compulsion to fork out the £60 for another 2-year subscription. The alternative to which is paying £36 for a 1-year sub. And at £4 an issue these days, this makes both subs reasonably good deals, even if the old subscriber deliver date of 1 week before it appears in GW stores has rather gone out the window this past year.
*sigh*
this is a bit of a depressing rant really isn't it?
So, back to the point, what are peoples thoughts? Should i bother with another subscription? or just let WD pass me by for a while? |
