 Unreasonable Wait for subscription to start., 2006-07-27
I subscribed in late May to MaximumPC and PCGamer. Early July I started getting PCGamer. Still nothing from MaximumPC. I called customer service and they said they had recieved my order June 2nd and to expect my first issue in late September. Thats nearly four months! That is an unreasonable wait relative to the industry standard and clearly outside the stated wait on the order form. I gave one star because the magazine is a good magazine. But at a $8.99 news stand price it is too expensive... so I am left with the choice of spending almost $35 to get the four months worth before my subscription starts (more than the subscription itself) or just missing out on those issue. Very poor customer service.

Awaiting Delivery, 2006-07-11
I know it takes eight weeks and maybe longer but I do appreciate the information that I've gained from store bought "Maximum PC" magazines. I don't build computers but when I do order one, it is nice to be familier with the workings and attributes of the new computer.
Yes... you can find much information on-line and generally faster than the amount of time it takes for the magazine to reach your mailbox, however, is great to kick back away from the computer in your favorite chair and 'read' about it :)
A very good magazine... but 'adult' language used at times does not appear to me as professional use of the english language.
Thus the 4 rather than five stars.

Plan to get your magazine delivered by the next ICE AGE!, 2006-06-17
The magazines ordered through amazon take an ETERNITY to be delivered. The estimated time for my delivery was April after I had placed the order in Feb. That's a long enough wait as it is---I ended up receiving it the the end of June! And when I called to complain...the customer service rep explained to me that it was technically within the estimated allowed time for delivery. so bottom line...if you have an urge to order a magazine that may take half a year or so to get to you...then this is the ONE FOR YOU-hands down. I plan on never ordering a single magazine through Amazon again. Definitely don't send a subscription to anyone as a birthday gift- it'll maybe make it in time for the FOLLOWING birthday year..so plan years in advance!
Excellent Reading, 2006-06-01
This magazine is very good for the novice to medium level computer user. Recommended for sure.

 Great Product NOTE: For pc Enthusiast skewed toward gamers, 2006-05-11
A fun read encompassing nearly every important facet of the PC with an emphasis on performance and gaming. Yes the information they provide can be found on the internet, but the simplicity and no-nonsense approach of their reviews makes getting the information a pleasure rather than an arduous task leading to more questions than answers.
