I only buy, when there is a cool full version included. But since I'm running Gnu/Linux, I don't browse the shelves very often, so I'm buying 0-1 mags per year.

No. I mostly consider all of them as sellouts...doubly so for Game Informer. I read some of them and they hype products for ads. Since the escapist isn't mostly review and ads, i don't consider them as a Gaming magazine per say. Yeah, when i want an unbiased opinion, i got with the man on the street. It never failed before.
Can 'other' count as 'none'? Because that's what I picked.
I used to get the Official Xbox Magazine, but I realised it wasn't worth it at all. I'd rather get my gaming news free off the internet these days.

Retro Gamer. And occasional random issues of other publications if I'm at a store and happen to see one that looks interesting.
I had a longstanding subscription to Nintendo Power until Future US took over the editing and the magazine went from a slow downhill tumble, to a fall straight off a cliff. No more cool contests, all my favourite editors had left the magazine, the posters were suckfests, there were no more good free stuff giveaways, and overall there was no reason for me to want to read the magazine anymore.
I dont read any gaming news while in meatspace, the Escapist is my source for gaming, tech, science and geek pop culture. Print media is so dead.
Used to read EGM and PC Gamer. I still get an issue or two on occasion, but not much any more. Especially with the whole internet thing. No point in spending money on information you get for (technically) free on the internet.
I get all my gaming news from the internet. That being said I like The Escapis, TIG Source, and Gamasutra.
