No one seems to have mentioned it. £5 from this month.

Does it affect subs? I haven't received any correspondence indicating such. New forums ain't cheap y'know... they just look it.

Seriously?

What's pushed the increase? This place?

Inflation, the cost of paper, the fall in sales. I remember when Edge went up from 3 to 3.50 in 97 or whateva.

The new paper stock is of higher quality and there are more pages.

More ads?

Wasn't there a discrepancy with the price a while back?

Depending on which part of the country it was on sale, it was (at times) a different price.

I subscribe, so I won't be affected until my subscription renewell is due, I'd imagine. I think EDGE is worth £5 though, it's the best games magazine around by quite some distance.

Well it seems that I'm still getting 3 issues for my £9.99 even though I didn't get a T shirt.

i hope it's the size of a hefty tome of yore with pages of hand-pressed papyrus

If Edge dies, I don't think I'll ever read a games mag ever again. 50p I can afford, like.

2nd best mag ever.

MAXIMUM was the bestest ;(

Hell, make it cheaper and print it on bog roll and I'd still buy it.

I imagine with E3 on the horizon any forum fixing will be put off. The management involved in these kind of things will be away.

The devs don't go to E3 though surely?

The devs might not but the managers who make the decisions and authorise stuff like major overhauls of the spanking new website and shutting down of the old place might.

Hasn't the actual page size shrunk though, to make it more 'collectible' ? Fix the forum, and then we can talk monies.

What was it before? I always buy a bunch of magazines at the same time, then have a heart attack when I reach the till.

I thought it was a fiver, so it won't make any difference to me.

Another shitty redesign like the last one will though.
