Subject: OXM August 24th: Newsstands only issue

[color=white]Yes, this has probably been touched on in another thread about bees or "August 24: Halo 2?!?!"
I'm posting it in this brand spankin' new thread so the topic can be easily found if someone wants to reference it (I did not see a topic with it's title in the top three pages, so sue me if I'm lazy).

On to the meat of the matter...

Ryan McCaffrey, one of the humble OXM editors, saw fit to answer my email to him about the August 24th issue of OXM, and will settle at least one part of the argument about August 24th.
The email is as follows:

Dear sirs (and ladies),
Will the August 24th Holiday Preview Special be sent to subscribers, or is it going to be available on newsstands only?
   Thank you in advance for your reply.
   (Frogwart), subscriber


The reply came back:

Newsstands only.

What does this mean to us, fellow Bungie fans and OXM subscribers?

That we have to buy it on the newsstands, and it's not a regular issue.

In simplest terms, that means there isn't going to be a demo disc from OXM in that issue. Just screenshots and words. OXM may decide to do something special, but I would (am) not counting on it.

If this information's been given to you all before in some other thread, by all means, waste your time -blam!-ing at me. I checked, as I said, and I wouldn't be offended if a mod locks this post due to my negligence (or your flames, should they be in the offing).

Twenty days until...?!?[/color]

"stfu_final" because someone has an opinon it does not mean he/she is a noob. And you have no right to call them that way because you are not sure what is going to happen.

i agree , personally i think any one who says noob is actually more that likely the worst player when it comes to halo and they are just compensating to make themselves feel better.
