And so the world kept turning.

Wow, first Nintendo Power shuts down, now this? One more idea that Sony stole from Nintendo I guess, lol. Where will people get their super biased information about consoles and their games now?

At this rate GI will have a monopoly on gaming magazines.

Well, Nintendo Power and now this. I know that digital media is huge right now but I still read magazines. One might run out of pages or ink, but paper doesn't run on batteries.

Sad... Luckily GI is popular because of that whole "power card" subscription.

OXM doesn't have long to survive. Live long and prosper GI.

Sad to see them go. But let's face it, GI is the best and now they'll probably be more successful.

Uh-ohs... hopefully GI won't be going anywhere anytime soon.

It was only a matter of time, again.

Oh God! If GI ever goes down, god forbid it does, my life would be ruined.

I used to love getting the PS magazine YEARS ago because it came with a disc that had a lot of PS2 game demos on it. Digital downloads kind of ruined that.
