But just try sellotaping it to the front of a magazine!

Not as a rule, but perhaps as a one off at Christmas, I wouldn't mind paying an extra quid or two. There;s been the odd belter of a coverdisk, the one that springs to mind is the one with the Kickstart roms on it, if it were done once a year, perhaps there could be enough "good stuf" to whet most peoples lips?
So you missed out on all the good Konix stuff? thats a bit silly!Duddyroar wrote:I never loaded up a single one of the coverdiscs that came with the Live era magazine.

it really has to be done. If only to cry about how a major benefactor of the early console wars could very nearly have been UK based.

If that was true, why does the current mag not have one?Sega2006 wrote:You do realise putting a CD rom or DVD rom puts sales up as people who are bored will want to play the games on the disc and more will buy the Mag. Thats the reason I got a Live publishing issue once as I was bored and wanted somthing to play
It might gain a few sales from people who don't have the internet but will lost many more from people thinking £6 for a magazine?!

i think one way to keep both sides happy would be.If any company/site wanted to give their old software away for free/Let them advertise it in RG.So the readers will get something free if they want it without having to pay extra for a covermount cd.There are some company sites that are giving away their old titles as free downloads.Cinemaware comes to mind,they are allowing you to download defender of the crown for the amiga legally.

I really couldn't agree more.paranoid marvin wrote:No to a disc , but yes to pull-outs like the Oli calendar and the Game Over poster , or even the ZZap!/YS tributes - stuff you just can't get elsewhere
The odd very special/exclusive (a la Konix, audio CD, etc) coverdisk might be nice too, as of course would be any number of 3" disks. Or tapes. Or old computer bits stuck on the cover.
i bought four-four-two to read on the plane the other day. £4.10!!! - and they can't argue that's a "niche" market can they!psj3809 wrote:100% dont want them back, most of the stuff on the disc you can easily get off the net yourself. People moan (??) about the price of the mag at the moment, pushing it up a quid or two will have them moaning even more.
NO Coverdiscs PLEASE
