Nintendo Power

HOLY FUCKING SHIT IS THIS EXPENSIVE!

Seriously. I remember when I was a kid, the N64 days, when I could walk to a store and buy one of the magazines for 10-12 bucks CAD. I also remember it being a lot cheaper to subscribe too.

I go to the site and it says "5 DOLLARS OFF!" and I was like "oh, cool, 15 bucks for 12 issues, why not?" Then I see up top that I have to click for Canadians, FUCKING 30 DOLLARS!

I don't know who is setting up the prices for this shit but it's ridiculous. There's not a whole lot in the magazines that one can't find out from the internet. It might come with a poster or two, but nothing all that great, and yet they still dick us Canadians?

And somehow, people still wonder why we don't buy magazines anymore instead relying on the net...

I used to have a subscription for a year or two. Then I saw all the info was on the net for free.
 
"Now your playing with power, Nintendo Power!"
I remember those days when the internets didn't exist...
Good Days..
 
i caught an amazon deal about a year ago for $5 subscriptions, it was awesome. but i would never pay more than that
 
I got my name in NP once. lol

It was for a high score in Wizards & Warriors. I cheated by placing a book on the up button so my sword would continuously kill weak enemies that flew at me.
The score stopped at 999,999 or something. :P
