Guys I think there some confusion about the price of the November issue, so just clearing that out:
November 2010 issue is priced at Rs. 150. Includes 2 DVDs and Fast Track to Windows 7.
The December 2010 issue will be a special issue.

I never said that the November issue is a special Rs.250/- issue. I just said that the so called Special Issues are no more Rs.200/- but they are Rs.250/-

November issue is Rs. 150/- (2 dvds, fast track to Win7 and Digit Mag) and December issue gonna cost Rs. 250. Already rec'd my issue on the 1st Nov and didn't get enough time to check the contents. There is a coupon attached with the back cover of fast track (If I remember) for 50rs to get the December issue at discount price for 200rs which is not useful for a subscriber .

Team digit = What is the advantage of that discount for a subscriber ??

[toofan]

Don't you guys think this is start of a bad practice.

And where did digit think is heading by increasing its price of special issue to 250. It clearly indicates that the prices from next year will be around 200 normal issue and 300 special issue.

[topgear]

^^ I don't think so but if it's true then would be just too much.

waiting for nov issue to show up on the news stands so I can pick one.

Well I don't know about a price hike in the future but if at all it happens its the subscribers who are unaffected by it. So isn't that thought great!
This discount coupon is for news stand buyers.
