What good is a subscription if the issues do not arrive? I've said before that I'll gladly pay MORE for my subscription if a reliable and fast shipping service is being used.

Amen to that

I've got a personalized postcard informing me that my subscription is about to end. That is like a joke really. Before that there was a sealed mail with roughly the same information.
I bet both of those took a couple of weeks to arrive and yet here I am still waiting for 188 and 191 to materialize...

Magazine is great, there is no doubt about it! The most "doom and gloom" is with regards to delivery problems plaguing otherwise great magazine.
Cheers to everyone making the Retro Gamer possible!

Surprisingly I got #189 this Friday (India, I work here on contract). It is by far the fastest issue to arrive and the condition of the mag is almost perfect, and there is still some fresh print smell :) But generally for the last 7-8 months delivery was horrible. I've never got 185 and 187 so ended...

Actually in this particular case I prefer the sub cover.
For SNK issue definitely retail cover was much better

Hi there! Haven't received November issue yet (as well as a couple of previous issues), but cheers anyway! Looking forward for it. Meanwhile your YouTube channel is not half-bad actually. It reminds me of Retro Gamer but in video form But as someone noticed in the comments for one of your videos - y...

Yeah. Myfavourite is a mess. I've asked so many times to introduce trackable delivery subscription option but all is in vain. I'm ready to pay more to be confident that my mag will reach me on time (or at all). At first (for half a year) the delivery to India was fine - a little long, yes, but it is...

The point about the last Christmas cover being the worst seller isn't compelling. I'm sorry, but we've no current plans to run Christmas covers. If we do change this stance you'll see a Christmas cover next November :) Makes sense since then it raises the question why there is no Diwali cover or Ei...

Yeah but anyway ps classics mini has a wild mix of 50hz and 60 Hz games, stutter and performance problems on most games, scaling issues on some games and so on.
You can check Digital Foundry video for details. But long story short - it's a mess.

For me the best incentive would be if the magazine would actually come through my mailbox

My 8birds controller arrived at the weekend, great little thing it is too.

Yes 8birds is the best!

For me PS Vita is a much better PS Mini than this micro-console. You can buy more games for it (or go the rogue way). It is portable and games look much nicer on smaller OLED screen than stretched out to 40 or more inches. Also there are twin thumbstics. The only downside is that you can't play 2-pl...

All good things come to an end.
Anyway I haven't received two latest issues yet. Maybe just have to buy some older iPad and go digital...

I'm giving up. As of now I didn't receive 185 and 186 at all. Before that I had to order a replacement for 181. Other issues took 3 to 6 weeks to arrive. I tried to propose higher-tier trackable delivery subscription but nobody cares. For me subscription is the only option (bar eBay) to get the mag ...

I would be happy to pay more for trackable delivery for sure. Mag quality is just fine for me otherwise.
