Think of it this way. Most of us pay $20 for a magazine that comes 12 times out of the year. Isn't $25 a better bargain to access a website that has all the news on a daily basis, reviews and previews on all the games, codes, guides, exclusive interviews and media, and media on each and every game, not to mention having that for all the systems?

Gekko IGN is a better bargain than a mag, BUT all the info (reviews, movies, previews, analysis) can all be found on other sits for FREE.

IGN does have some exclusive material every once a while but it's not worth the 25 dollars. Ohh well it's our money and we do what we want with it, it's their site and they do whatever they what with it too. But they aren't going to get a subcrsiption out me.
