From Amazon.com
"Like Maxim, but about Xbox!" was clearly the mandate given to Mike Salmon, former editor-in-chief of PC Accelerator and current editor-in-chief of The Official Xbox Magazine. He got it half right: this gamer lifestyle magazine has the locker-room feel of Maxim but lacks Maxim's intelligent, tongue-in-cheek style. The result is something that looks like it was written by high-school sophomores. For example, a bio of Kasumi, a character in the game Dead or Alive 3, reads "A redhead with a difference--she can take on all comers. And if DoA 3 has the "[breast] bounce on/off" option, she'll definitely have a lot of comers." On the plus side, the game reviews and previews are informative and mostly free of bull. --Mike Fehlauer

Well, ordered this a few weeks back and was expecting it to arrive in March. To my surprise, it arrived almost a whole month earlier! Talk about great service. The magazine is awesomely written and even includes a demo disc with each issue! Instead of paying over $10.00 per magazine at a news stand, this costs only $25.00 for an entire year!
 A day late and a dollar short September 14, 2007
The mag is pretty good, although I think they rate games too high. My real complaint is that the magazine is always late!
NO DEMO DISC! Trust me, this is for the magazine only June 24, 2007

Here's the deal, I purchased this subscription thinking "[PRINT + DVD]" was actually TRUE. My first issue just came with NO DEMO DISC, and after calling Future (the subscription service provider) I was informed that the only way to get the Demo Disc is to either pay an extra dollar per issue over the phone, or have my amazon subscription canceled, and a new one started directly through them. Of course you have to pay again, and wait 4-6 weeks for a refund check for the original subscription.
In summary:
1 year subscription of magazine from Amazon = $24.95
1 year subscription of magazine AND DEMO DISC from Official Xbox Magizine website = $24.95
You fail Amazon
PS3 too lousy and cheap to do demo disks anymore, not XBOX April 17, 2007

PS3 is dead! I have a stack of demo disks from the PS2 magazine a foot tall. You can play for hours without ever buying a game, and make sure you will not get stuck eventually buying a game you don't like if you get to demo it first. Hurray for XBOX magazine for sticking by us working people. The Magazine is awesome as well.
