Product Description Every issue of the Official Xbox Magazine has exclusive inside information on Xbox, games, in-depth authoritative and bluntly honest reviews. Plus cheats, tips and ways to make sure you get the most out of your Xbox!
Amazon.com Review "Like Maxim, but about Xbox!" was clearly the mandate given to Mike Salmon, former editor-in-chief of PC Accelerator and current editor-in-chief of The Official Xbox Magazine. He got it half right: this gamer lifestyle magazine has the locker-room feel of Maxim but lacks Maxim's intelligent, tongue-in-cheek style. The result is something that looks like it was written by high-school sophomores. For example, a bio of Kasumi, a character in the game Dead or Alive 3, reads "A redhead with a difference--she can take on all comers. And if DoA 3 has the "[breast] bounce on/off" option, she'll definitely have a lot of comers." On the plus side, the game reviews and previews are informative and mostly free of bull. --Mike Fehlauer

    Poor Service..., 2010-08-25 I finally got my first issue, 86 days after I ordered and well past the estimated delivery date. I can understand problems that arise or unexpected delays but what makes matters worse is ZERO customer service support... I used amazon's message system to send the publisher a message 15 days ago and I never got any response or help. Sent another 4 days ago and I sent one to amazon customer service at the same time and as of yet no response from either. I guess the email support is just for show and they don't actually respond???
Hopefully this has been sorted out now and come this time next year I will have actually received 12 issues because my start issue was supposedly August and the first issue I got was October. I would be a little more angry if I didn't only spend $5 even though I don't think the price I paid should matter, I couldn't imagine paying full price for this level of service anyway.
    Okay..., 2010-08-21 Idk i find myself not looking through these magazines anymore. They're kind of boring. I tend to read gamepro more often than not. But hey, the demo cds are a plus.
    Almost 4 months after paying I have yet to receive any issues!, 2010-08-23 I ordered this subscription for my son. That was late April. Here we are almost 4 months later and we have yet to receive a single issue! I filed a complaint early this month and figured we would've been sent the latest issue immediately but no, We got an email indicating they were extending my subscription to expire in July. That doesn't mean much when you aren't receiving any issues. I've now requested a full refund. Hopefully you will have better luck than us if you decide to order.....
    No magazine yet., 2010-08-25 Ordered this in May, it's almost September, still no magazine. This appears to be a trend per the other comments, Amazon needs to step in.
    No Magazine yet., 2010-08-27 I ordered this on May 31st. As of August 26th still no magazine. I understand that $5 is cheap for this suscription, which is why I was willing to give Future and Amazon the benefit of the doubt, but it's almost 3 months now since I have paid for this subscription. If I dont get my first issue in a week, I'll probably check with my bank and see if I can dispute this charge.
