I have a feeling that Nintendo World here in Brasil is not doing so well, it probably won't last long, too bad, I kinda like it, despite some very weird review scores. If anyone here on destructoid is from Brasil, they will know what i'm talking about.
And we actually still have e EGM Brasil here (although it will probably be gone since the original is no more), but I still was sad when I heard the original one was gone.

You should listen to the most recent podtoid since they discussed this topic.
And I just want to point out it isn't UGO's fault EGM is gone. Ziff Davis has been going down the crapper for awhile now and EGM would have dissapeared anyway. UGO just bought its online counterparts and didn't buy the rights to EGM because they had no intention going into the magazine business. I think it is unreasonable that people give UGO so much shit when their decision was perfectly reasonable. Would you want to break into the magazine business by publishing a magazine that has been struggling financially for awhile now? I don't think so.

Amen.
EGM's subscription rate was still doing pretty well, but the ad sales just weren't there. It's still sad though.

@ Ron OPM was good, however I miss the old PSM. I am currently subscribed to PTOM right now, and its a pretty good mag, but I prefer PSM. Going back to EGM, that's just sad, I cant believe they would do that to one of the longest running Video Game mags out there. WHY!?
yea, now that EGM is gone i mean everyone else is fair game.
Also, people who read comics via computer make want to throw up.

Inchworm, I download comics. I download every single comic that comes out every week and read everything that comes out.
But I buy the hell out of comics. I buy plenty every week. I just don't want to buy every one.

They shouldve taken Game Informer instead, that thing is just another tool to sell shit at gamestop.
And that is why it will never die Redzie.
The card is a pretty good invesment, it pays for itself provided you buy used games, the magazine is just a bonus.

You'd have to buy a LOT of used games just to make back the cost of the card, especially when places like Toys R Us often have video game sales that are way better than Gamestop's Used prices.
Card cost 15, last a year.
If you don't save 15 bucks worth in a year, you don't buy many games.
I never got the problem with used games, the clerks always check the discs for me and give me the best ones and they hold manuals and boxes for me if the game I grabbed doesn't have one.

There was a fantastic video series about why Gamestop was horrible called "The Truth About Gamestop", but it apparently was so true and got so much attention that Gamestop made YouTube take it down.
Essentially, you could spend an extra $15 for a card to save maybe five bucks every used game you buy (this is completely ignoring how much money you're losing if you trade in any games, or how much you might be losing buying games you could otherwise rent). Which means, if the card costs $15, you have to buy three games for the card to pay for itself.
Or you could go to a place like Toys R Us with percent deals or BOGO deals, get the same games, and save $10 (or more if they have a rare bogo with video games, it happened last holiday season) automatically on the first purchase. So I saved $10 on the first transaction, you have thus far paid an extra $10 on the first transaction by buying a card. My game is also brand new and the profits go to the company that made the game, yours is used and the profits go just to Gamestop.
