Mixmag now 10$... WTF!!!

Ugh..i never buy the mag bc it's all about sex, drugs and nekkid chicks. might as well just be pr0n mag.. but i know pvd was on the cover this month and i just can't resist him!

i hate mixmag as it is and now i hate them even more... i went to borders today to pick one up and i look at the prices.. i know it'll be like 6.95 or so.. but $9.75?! WTF happened???

this is what i mustered up:

3. economy's bad.. yea, we know.
2. music industry is shit right now, labels/companies are losing money left and right.

.........but the number one reason why they jacked up their prices?

1. Muzik, Mixer and Ministry went out of business fairly recently so now mixmag can do whatever the hell they want.

maaaaaaaaaaan, FUNK DAT!

bastids.

(sorry, just had to rant.)

Daniela the worst part is most of the time is that the CD is the best thing

it's still like 6 bucks or so here ... I think I'll have to look this up

I have the PvD Mixmag, I bought it @ Manchester Airport. The cover says 3.85GBP, that equates to $6.45 then if you include shipping costs it should be somewhere around $8.50 so Borders is probably charging a mark-up because its an import magazine, they do the same thing with UKGQ

that doesn't really answer the almost 3 dollar markup in a matter of months... ive never seen it in stores for more then 7 beans..

i have to admit that i have bought that mag in london. i forgot the price. and the CD sucked....big time......but the pvd article was priceless...ok i go to bed now....

Posted by dEEkAy on Oct-24-2003 01:57:

yeah I bought one too as I was in london...the CD was okay, the price...cant remember, the articles...hmm i expected something about the DJs @ WMC but had to read about booze, drugs and partypeople

I think MixMag is f***ing hilarious...crazy...it's awesome...
and if u look hard enough in all the quote boxes and bubbles, you'll find some sweet trax
with the cd and all, i think it's worth...
i enjoy the mag immensely
the end.

i cant read and buying a magazine just to look at pics is a waste of money to me

Why buy a Mag, when you got the Internet?

Posted by dark_tenshi on Oct-24-2003 08:49:

My girlfriend buys it every month. It's good for a few laughs.

LOL Daniela, you are seriously hilarious.
However, aside from the naked chicks and blatant blasphemy everywhere, it is the best of the pack, in my opinion. There's so much crammed into each issue, you defnitely get the most "bang for yer buck." But yea, the mix CD's aside from PvD's and a few rare others (maybe Eddie Halliwell)are usually real crap. Unless PvD's on the cover, I'm not willing to fork out the $10, but MixMag will definitely still get the monthly skim and oggle from me.
