EGM Coming Back, Time Warner to Help
Welcome Back!
Electronic Gaming Monthly, or EGM for short, was a long-running gaming magazine that launched in 1989. When news hit that the January 2009 issue would be the last publication ever, fans were understandably upset. But later in the year it was announced that the magazine would be revived. That time is almost upon us.
In a recently released press release, EGM has announced a partnership with Time Warner to market the new magazine when it finally re-launches in March 2010. New to the publication will be a redeemable code for EGM[i], a “weekly digital interactive version of the magazine.” This will be meant to enhance the print edition of the magazine and provide a way to update news as facts become available. Who among you will renew or buy a new subscription?

Whoa. I was going to say this is old news, but i hadn’t heard about the digital side of this. If they made a deal with Sony to have inclusion in the digital Comic reader, they would profit greatly…
However Sony might not be so keen to include competition news to Sony consumers…. What about TOPSM?
I may be up for a subscription again but I’ll have to see. I enjoy reading print magazines but with game news it changes so fast print is quickly outdated. I’m glad they are coming back I will support if they can make it unique.
Sony could offer it as part of their new Premium Service so that TW could keep the digital side to PS news, Nintendo News or Xbox News and the print side to all news. Since the print side would carry stuff that would be of longer lead time they could separate the digital content to each user base and make money on it…

If they partnered with Sony, they would probably make sure only PS news got to us lot.
