Don’t forget about the disc
OPM was the same way.

It’s $8 per issue? Wow. Aren’t most magazines $3-4 for the newsstand price (subscription is even lower)?

Regardless, if the print version is $8 then obviously $2.50 seems about right for the digital. I was assuming the print version was $3-4.

“I think it’s a great idea but I have to wonder whether even $2.50 is too much.”

The magazine is $8, cheapskate.

I subscribed for 50 Canadian in February - I got raped with an additional “global charge” but believe a subscription is under 30 bucks for 13 issues?

I’ve been waiting for something like this since the rumored Nintendo Power Channel on the Wii. I think it’s a great idea but I have to wonder whether even $2.50 is too much.

How much is an actual subscription to OXM? I can’t imagine how much they are saving by digital distribution (40-70% is my guess, does anybody know how much publication generally costs?).

Also, pricing it substantially less than the print version would drive more people to the digital version, which I’m sure is what they want so they can eventually do away with print.
