X360 Issue 87 Out Now

[360_Mag_Dave]

Here it is, the first 'proper' X360/360 combo!

I say 'proper' as really, it's an on-going process, but this is the first issue that has our real stamp on it. We hope you like it, we all worked really hard to make it the best issue of X360 for some time. It's got tons of stuff in it, too. And don't forget to take a look at the DVD. You can hear our 'hilarious' voices! Look forward to us continuing to evolve the magazine, DVD and book over the coming months, too.

We're not done with this, not by a long shot.

Enjoy!

£5?? Wow.

[biron_w]

My copy had better be delivered today! I always used to get 360 mag a couple of days early

[Dan Howdle]

£5?? Wow.

£4.99 actually. A pound less than Official, a penny less than your indignation.

[Bob]

Lol.

I'll check out the new hybrid mag Dan.. I always think the DVD is out moded in this day and age.. especially for the offical magazine.

Do you do a DVD-free cheaper Sub?

[Dan Howdle]

It only comes in one flavour unless you read it digiatally, then you get it cheaper and without the extras.

I never bother with the DVD's, in fact I tend to avoid them as they show me easily accessible trailers from the internetz. And although this DVD didn't show me anything new, it did have a commentary which I thoroughly enjoyed. Partly because you do indeed have funny voices, but mostly because it was truthful, not filled with words such as 'awesome' and not trying hard to sell me something. Kudos

[Mullered Moose]

will let you know what I think, when my copy arrives.

Downloaded the mag for the first time on my laptop for work. Took me all day to read. I found i read more of the mag due to having to scroll left and right.

Nothing much seems to have changed from previous iterations of X360, of which i have many. (tho i did enjoy not having to pay for the disc).
I see small rays of 360Magazine sunlight shining through. I felt more informed on upcoming releases, the reviews were a good read, and it seemed more mature. Also, good to see the_marb in the letters section.

I will give it a couple more issues for you guys to find your feet, but still missing 360Magazine

[Mullered Moose]

My copy arrived today, on the whole the mag is good, I like the rumor mill and network sections they really add something new and readable that wasn't in the old mag. The postcard is cool and I liked the design of the booklet though the content didn't add much for me. Will look at the disc later.

[stikboy78]

read a bit of the new mag and it's all good so far but would rather have the paper version at a reduced cost without a dvd or wee book

listen to the masses dan ha ha ha

[Dan Howdle]

Sadly, you guys are not the masses.

Which is why The Black-Eyed Peas have a job.

[j2000_nr]

True that Dan, otherwise we would still have 360!

[Mullered Moose]

The DVD is very well put together. I'll definitely check it out each month. Loads of content, amusing commentaries, the griefers guide was funny too. It really fills the hole left by the inaccessible dashboard.

@ Dan (man C), your point about Resi 6 being an entirely different game to the first in the series can be made about about the Metal Gear Rising too, fuck stealth let's go and twat everything in sight with an oversized Katana.

How good does Watch Dogs look too?

[stikboy78]

i will actually watch the dvd over the weekend and am not getting at the quality of the material i'm just finding it hard to get over the inherrent seediness i feel when buying a magazine that's wrapped in cellophane with extra goodies.

i'm enjoying the mag, it still has the original 360 feel and am intrigued to see what south park (being a huuge fan hence the btters avatar) the stick of truth is like
