Hmmm. I wonder who did. Can anyone else remember?

I don't think that many people entered - something about Halo linkup. Or GTA3.

EDIT - Can I just say that the Blue 'Elite' T-Shirt pwns the khaki one.

My T-Shirt turned up about 6 weeks after I subscribed if that makes anyone feel better.

I subscribed for the second time to Edge last month, and I'm still not getting a T-shirt or binder even though I have to pay 20 quid more due to living overseas and all that. What about that, huh? We pay more, have to wait for weeks and don't get anything at all. Future Publishing: The Nintendo of the Magazine world.

Have you tried ringing Future subs?

I've sent multiple mails about late delivery in the past, and I always get the answer that all the subs-copies go out at the same time. Which I don't believe, because Play.com and even Canadian outfits like VideoGamePlus can send me stuff within 5 working days, while Edge usually takes 2 weeks or more. The only consolation I've got is that when I buy it in the shops, it's even MORE expensive and takes 3 weeks or more to arrive.

Basically, there's not a damn thing I can do about it unless they take their overseas subs seriously. But why would they? It's not like we can go anywhere else.

Juria: Thanks for the info on Jassie-the-pornstar.

I'm downloading some wank-tastic material as we speak ;)

Now all you need to do is browse it with Juria going "Ahhh Julia Get! Ohh Yatta! Sugoi!" in the background, and you're all set.

Napole0n are you sure the free gifts applied to overseas subscriptions? Many offers like that only apply to the country the magazine is based in. I could easily check this since I'm never more than 2 seconds grabbing distance from an issue of Edge but then I wouldn't have anything to say.

I actually prefer the khaki t-shirt, which seems to completely mystify everyone. I just think it's got a cool design. The blue one has grown on me though.

I have both by the way, due to the generosity and good memory of Mr. Mott.

I think these last three issues (including the newest one) have been the best I've ever read. The magazine is really fun to read now and fills me with enthusiasm.

Mine still isn't here :D

Mine neither.

I'm beginning to wonder whether they found a problem with the DVD at the last minute and had to rip open loads of sub copies to remove them, hence everyone who's got their copy had the package opened.

Maybe the later ones will come intact with the disc.

Mine arrived on Monday, all sealed up. No rippage anywhere.

Further to all the talk of missing dvds and torn packages I have put my postman skills to task and come up with the following hypothesis.

Maybe the reason the envelopes have all been damaged is because Future gave us the free copies of OPSM and Total Film thus making the usual magazine size packets too big for all the usual sorting frames/machines/letterboxes.

In a hilarious turn of events I too have received a damaged envelope complete with OPSM and Total Film. However mine came minus my FUCKING COPY OF EDGE!!! :D:ph34r:

So now I have to wait for a replacement copy of the magazine I actually want while two mags I wouldn't even wipe my arse on kick around my floor. Smashing.

Note to Future: stop this. Either give us the option to opt out of this crap on your web-site or at least get your demographic profiling right. OPSM2? Christ! :D

Argh, funny, yet... horrible. :D

I have to agree though - I can't understand why the Future people choose to put free copies of OPS2 with Edge, as you say the demogrpahics are completely different. I tried reading the PS2 mag yesterday and had to give up as it's so terrible.

Are Future actually expecting any subscribers to OPS2, from those who already subscribe to Edge?

The competition didn't run in the end, and last I heard the T-Shirt was going to be put up for a charity auction towards rllmuk upkeep. It was a nice T-Shirt too, I touched it at one point...

No, the gifts don't apply to overseas subscribers.

Which I think is very unfair. We help feeding TM and his children just as much as you UK faggots. We even have to pay 50% more to cover postage (while play.com can send their stuff for free).

Gross. I heard about stuff like that happening in the trenches in World War 1 - you should take it off and wash it occasionally.
