Maximum PC’s slogan is Maximum PC. Minimum BS. Well I think they should make that, Half PC. Half BS. If you buy your subscription on here, you’re not getting the CD, which is obviously, the whole essence of the mag. The CD is done just like PC Gamer, but it just has Maximum PC on there, instead of PC Gamer, and this also means, if your PCG CD’s won’t auto-load, neither will the MPC ones. Since I can’t see what the price is for the subscription on here, I cant tell if you’re paying the same amount on here for the no CD sub, as you would with the CD. CD sub. price is $29.95. You can obviously look at the top of the page, and see what the price is. The one good thing they have is the Head 2 Head thing they have in the beginning, where they pit two products against each other. This month it was Yahoo! Mail vs. Hotmail. So this really isnt a great magazine, nor a good PC magazine (no pun). If you want a real independent magazine, go with PC Magazine. (And for more on that, read my review…if it ever gets posted).

I previously had a multi-year subscription paid up to Yahoo Internet Life, which went out of print. My subscription was transferred to MaximumPC (no, I wasn’t asked if this is what I wanted).
I found MaximumPC to be a fairly decent magazine. More for gamers than for us regular folk.
I recently read a letter to the editor about their CD, and wondered why I wasn’t receiving one when my subscription to Yahoo Internet Life was paid up until Feb 04.
I emailed them asking about this, and was told my subscription was for the magazine only. I was never given the choice of which I wanted – the magazine only or the magazine with the CD.
They also told me that if I wanted the CD, I would have to send them another [dollar amount] on top of my paid supscription.
I asked for a refund on my remaining 10-month subscription and received it today – all … of it.

Ordered it in October 2006. Now it is January 2007. Still do not have the magazine. I have read some other people were saying same stuff, but i had no idea that it would be that long.
Also, the order said 6-10weeks. It has been more than that and still nothing.
I hope it will help someone who orders.

I’m disappointed with this magazine. As the title of this review suggests, this magazine is geared more towards gaming and gamers. In addition, the general pc articles were not very informative.

This is a magazine made of clowns! Bozo rules! I friendly advice to people is to get almost any other magazine. This one is completely lost.
