Teenage years - Smash Hits / TOTPs / Gladiators
Late teens / 20s - Future Music

I stopped buying magazines altogether in the mid-2000s. I regret not carrying on with Future Music though because the cover CDs often had up-and-coming artists e.g. Fat Boy Slim and Basement Jaxx before they became famouse, plus 3 or 4 reader track submissions and they were often really good listens. A mixture of dance music, ambient, experimental, industrial etc.

I sold the Gladiators magazines (around 12 copies) for £80 on eBay and shipped it out on 23.Mar.2020. This was just a few hours before we all got grounded by Boris

The TOTPs mags (again around 12 copies) went for a more modest £21.

Didn't keep the Smash Hits mags.

I get the hint, i'll stop making topics to try and stimulate light-hearted conversations...

You've started again :sad:

Last mag i regularly bought were PC Mags in the mid-2000s, I think I stopped somewhere in 2008 when YouTube/Websites started to fill that gap more effectively to the point where it felt pointless because i was reading stuff in there what was reading online 1-2 months ago.

Used to get the old car mags - Max Power, Fast Car, Redline. Stopped when the lady and counter gave me a disgusted look as the mags had become more soft porn than cars.

Liked PC Zone (Think that's what it was called) until it stopped.

My stepson has recently got into Warhammer so he gets a White Dwarf now and again.

Last Mag I bought was Classic Cars as it has a Japanese 90s cars special.

I read magazines monthly. I have a subscription to "Readly" which I see as utterly brilliant for my wife and I. Only magazine I buy physically is Home Cinema Choice. Everything else i want is on Readly.

I used to buy random xbox magazines and T3 tech magazine when I was 13-15 when you kinda had to buy them to get previews and images of games you were interested in.

£4-£5 a pop though. So probably ended up spending £400-500 in total.

Haven't paid for a magazine unless I'm stuck in the airport for 15+years

 

[Jokester]

Economist, Film, Falline and GQ.

GQ is pretty crap these days so is likely to get binned.

 

[Terminal_Boy]

Bike Magazine and various PC/gaming magazine until the mid 2000s when everything I wanted to know became available online.

My brother was heavy into GQ and FHM in the 90s, I just read them after he was done with them so I never bought them myself.

Only in person if I needed one for a hospital stay or a long journey.

I thought dlockers or [FnG]magnolia was going to post that.

 

[Uther]

Not since the 90's.

 

[steve45]

No but thats not by choice all the old magazines that I used to enjoy, well they no longer exist, at least not in print.

 

[gingergundog]

PC Gamer sub but need to cancel it really as I barely read it these days. I used to have the better PC Zone but was moved over when it was canned.

I used to read it but there are so many ads and the articles are on the ‘content light’ side.
