That would be possible but then he would need to add the following custom BB code.

I myself would love to see the custom BB codes for text alignment added to the forums. :)

I have a few comments, but I want to expand on it by going through the mag again. But thanks for the free copy, it gave me something to do when I had nothing to do at work! :P

Never get a chance to complete reading the mag, but I have enjoyed the it so far.

I have been putting off subscribing to the mag for a while now, but looking at this month's edition, I think I'm gonna subscribe as soon as possible.

About the article on Nvidia vs ATI - In most of the reviews and comparisons that I have read on the net, the ATI's seem to lag a little behind the Nvidia cards. Having said this, I think the fact that most ATI cards are available at a lower price point still makes them a good choice. I am definitely not an ATI fanboy by any stretch (the last ATI card I owned was a 9550 i think it was called), but I feel that people miss the point when arguing about a choice between ATI and Nvidia.

Oh, if the cover disc is not already put together and it is released on time, could you possibly put the FIFA09 demo on please. Seems the game release is scheduled for 02 October 2008, but from past experience we'll probably only get it in November!!

What are the benefits of subscribing? I enjoy walking into a shop and buying it off the shelf. Subscribed to mags before and they were always delayed - so not really keen.

But love the mag - will do a closer read through. Was not aware we could comment on content :twisted:

This month's mag, imho, was awesome!

I keep 3 stacks of mags next to me "throne"... and thanks to this month's issue, the PCF mag stack is gonna be growing consistently (thanks to me new sub)... Being a noob on the techie side of PC's, PCF is teaching me a lot of things... and my conversation skills with the IT department at work is becoming a lot more interesting now. The PCF mag also let's me know which games are worth getting excited over, and which to leave as the reviews have proven to be pretty close to my experiences with the games.

1 crit though... There are a few grammatical errors in the mag, that would not have been picked up by MS Word spell checker... Little things like "everyone one" and stuff like that... I counted 4 in this month's mag (which seems to be the average across all the mags I read)...

If there is a consistent average of 4 mistakes per magazine, then the probability of this month's mag having no such mistakes is 1,83% :)

Thanks everyone for your participation. Since October is hitting shelves I am going to lock this thread and open a new one. VinceThePrince if you could send me a mail and let me know where the mistakes are, it would really be great!
What you see written above is my opinion and not that of the peeps that put food on my plate.
