Yeah, my supscription expired a few weeks ago and I've had no strong desire to renew it. The only things I want it for now are the pullout posters (which range from pretty good to ultra lame), Pulse, and the interview section.

Also, is Future also the owner of GamesRadar? Those last few issues I had seemed to advertise them every ten pages.

I hate magazine posters.  Not because of the content, but because they are folded. The creases are very annoying.  Posters should be full size and flat or rolled up and shipped in tubes.  Rolled posters may take awhile to flatten, but at least you are not left with annoying creases.

I don't really have a "poster preference," as long as they look good.

Okay. 

* Luigison takes Turtlekid1's favorite poster off his wall, folds it into a tiny square, then hands it back to him.

Now do you have a preference?

Speaking of NP and posters, did anyone else get a poster book from them like I did?

They look fine in the Angry Video Game Nerd's room. Although the footage never closes up on them. He did talk about how annoying it was pulling them out without ripping parts of the magazine in his Nintendo Power retrospective.

Which brings me to wonder how in the world anyone could make use of that Nintendo Power poster book without physcially pulling out the staples.

Nail clippers. That's what I did. Worked fine for me. See? (Ignore the MP1 poster. I've had that for many years.)

Someday, there will be an insane person, and he will go, and he will kill Reggie for the misery he caused. That day may be far off, or it may be close. Perhaps it will be your choice.

I got it at the beginning of last month. Apparently it is my subscription bonus because they ran out of Phantom Hourglass guides. Fine by me. I'd rather have a bunch of posters than a guide to a game I've never even played. :P

Anyway, it wasn't actually inside an issue. It was it's own stand-alone book. It and the magazine came together in the same clear plastic wrapper.

$50 says it will be a bunch of crazy Mother fans.

I saw one of those poster books in the store a few weeks ago. I honestly though have never taken any of their posters out. I've been subscribing since 1995 or something, and not once did I ever really want one of the posters. I guess I'm just not a poster guy.

But yes, regardless of posters, the magazines just arent worth it anymore.
