Seriously. Who is going to buy the printed version when they can download the pdf for free? (well besides me because I buy every game magazine). I personally liked it and would even consider buying the publication if it were around $25k and they threw in the reviewers to work for peanuts until I got things "going". I think going about selling it on eBay might destroy the HG property though. I can only imagine trying to get review copies from Nintendo, Sony, MS and having them say.. "Oh, so you won the high bid on ebay eh?"...Sorry, we only deal with professional publications" Someone buy up EGM, NextGen, and DieHard Gamer and make some super publication! :P I always thought Hardcore Gamer would have been more successful if they didn’t GIVE IT AWAY FOR FREEEEE!

When i was a kid there where a lot of different gaming magazines in the store. Today there are just a couple left. Another result of the internet,people like to watch a online video review instead of reading it. I don't think that there is a big future for gaming magazines. (except the big ones.) Pretty sad.

I had a free 6-issue sub to this magazine. It's not bad - for a print magazine. "Analog Media", if you will... ;) Might be worth picking up now that EGM is closing their doors.
