What turned me off to Newtype was the price. I know they are including a DVD, but I would equate that to a gaming mag including a disc with demos such as XBN, and OPM. I subscribe to OPM and the subscription rate comes out to about $3.33 an issue as compared to $9.99 newsstand price... I was surprised that they didn't offer a discount to subscribers last time I checked. Now that I read that the dvds weren't that sweet anyway it really makes it seem overpriced, but it is possible that the content carries bigger costs I guess. Maybe it is cheaper to put game demos on a dvd than to put anime on a dvd...
