sim1987 Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Right quick easy to answer question, when they say £10 for 3months does that mean I only have to pay for 3 months or is that their way of making it seem cheap when actually they mean £40 for the whole year? Coz £10 for 3 months is genius especially seeing as you get a Wii bag, 3 magazines and the free gifts.
EEVILMURRAY Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Would be better if you asked them on their own forum.

I'm not sure if you're allowed to cancel after the first 3, you might have to agree to at least a year or something. Check the small print. ps. NGamer is better.
Mr. Bananagrabber Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 http://forum.officialnintendomagazine.co.uk/index.php NGamer is better. Yes.
The Bard Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Actually, all Nintendo specialist magazines suck donkey wang.
gaggle64 Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 Definitely get Ngamer instead. NOM reads like a dreary in flight magazine trying to sell you more holidays.
Sarka Posted May 12, 2007 Posted May 12, 2007 I think you have to have it for a year before you're allowed to stop - even when I stopped, they still demanded the next months payment, even though they weren't going to give me any magazines from that payment.

Now I'm stuck with NGamer, and need to wait to september to stop my subscription. p.s. nRevolution is better.
mariosmentor Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Does nobody else think this is just an advertisement?
welsh_gamer Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 I havent brought a diff magazine from ONM in ages. Unless ONM have another decent free gift next month, I am defintley gonna test-drive N-Gamer.
Tellyn Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 NGamer ftw. I'll have to buy 2 ONM's this month for the gifts though.
The fish Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 PS Edge is better. QFT I kind of wish I'd gotten a subscription for that (or GamesTM, which is also a top-notch multi-format mag, for those of you who don't know) instead of ONM...
Fields Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 PS Edge is better. Apples and oranges though mate. Now am I making this up or did I see an advert for ONM that said 'free Nintendo sweat band with every issue'. Who the fuck would even want one Nintendo sweat band, let alone one every month?
Cube Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Now am I making this up or did I see an advert for ONM that said 'free Nintendo sweat band with every issue'. Who the fuck would even want one Nintendo sweat band, let alone one every month? Free Sweat Band with the current issue. And quite a few prople on here are getting the Mag just for one.
Fields Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 Free Sweat Band with the current issue. And quite a few prople on here are getting the Mag just for one. Seems a bit of an odd choice of gift though. They've had better in the past. Super Monkey Ball coasters, for example. I'm actually using the AiAi one right now for my coffee. Brilliant.

Kurtle Squad Posted May 14, 2007 Posted May 14, 2007 I still dont get the ONM hate; it's not that bad. I missed the coasters as my thing didnt come into effect until the 3rd issue & my local overpriced shitagents (where one of my best mates works) never supplied after the 1st issue.

darksnowman Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 I saw it in the petrol station yesterday and picked it up to see what the freebie is - I was suprised to find that there was a sweatband attached! I didnt buy a mag, it seemed a bit silly... and there were no Zelda ones. I wouldnt mind one with the Zelda crest on it - but couldnt they have put it on white instead of black? Anyone get the mag and can say if its got anything good by way of content?
ReZourceman Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Before NOM redid themselves they said "We are redoing ourselves/design etc....we are going up in price, but you will see this in the content and we will be giving away AMAZING free gifts" ....I have seen 1 good free gift in their...what? 12/18 months since the re-design.
Cube Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Before NOM redid themselves NOM didn't re-do themselves. NOM and ONM are totally different magazines, apart from having the status of the "official" mag. Different company, different team, etc.
Bluejay Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Before NOM redid themselves they said "We are redoing ourselves/design etc....we are going up in price, but you will see this in the content and we will be giving away AMAZING free gifts" ....I have seen 1 good free gift in their...what? 12/18 months since the re-design. The older magazine had some good gifts and a god awful magazine to boot. The new one has worse gifts, a better layout but the writing is just as awful. Edge is an example of videogaming journalism at its peak. GamesTM is alright too.
Fields Posted May 15, 2007 Posted May 15, 2007 Different company, different team... ...same old shit.
