Whew.

[john_the_ultimate]

Articles surely seems interesting and waiting for my copy. Hope that it's delivered in time. Rest of the contents is also o.k. Especially like to see the Audio Visual stuff. Also like to thank the team for their effort. Keep up the good work.

[True Geek]

Ok content. Can't feel the urge to buy it, wait for reviews of Mag from other members and then decide.

Hoping tht Articles are great

[gary4gar]

Microsoft Monster Truck Madness 2 & Business Plan Deluxe i didn't liked tis kind of stuff.else soft & mag artcles are fine

[vijay_7287]

hope there is no price hike this time round
contents are any paltry sum previous issues

hope the Mag articles Rock ON !!!

[Aries]

First Look:

The Games on the DVD: Same as the one you have provided with the SKOAR Magazine.....A bit disappointing.....Sounds as if you did it to fill up the space....

Business Plan Deluxe CD: Dont think its of interest to people other than in business.

Microsoft Monster Truck Madness 2 CD: No Comments for Now

[techno_funky]

exhaustive contents there
looking forward for the articles
they look very intresting
and the fast track to digital audio

[damnthenet]

Digit didn't disappoint. I'm looking forward for the mag.

[Vyasram]

Gr8 contents. Good to see the ft on dig audio. Now i'll have the entire first edition of ms racing madness free of cost.(motocross,midtown,monstertruck) all frm digit. Though all of em are unplayable. BTW, i was looking for some game posters

[adi87]

Okay that the price isnt hiked......hope it stats 200/- when i buy !
Contents are tempting....going by the list atleast......will comment when actually buy the copy

[~Phenom~]

Ok , the mag contents are looking good.
Microsoft Monster Truck Madness 2 & Business Plan Deluxe are of no use to me.
rest is quite ok.

[hsnayvid]

I'm looking forward for the mag.

[kjuvale]

"10 Free Classics"
Dressed To Kill (1946)
Little Lulu: Bored of Education (1946)
Popeye the Sailor Meets Ali Baba's Forty Thieves (1937)
Sherlock Holmes and the Secret Weapon (1943)
Superman (1941)
Superman: The Arctic Giant
Superman: Mechanical Monsters
The Kid
The Last Man on Earth (1964)
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934)

Are these full movies, and in which format? avi (divx/xvid) or mov

[E.T.]

Everything seems to be good. The game is as expected. Another from the madness series. BUT WHY THE HELL DIDN'T YOU PROVIDE A MOVIE! The Business Plan Deluxe could have been easily substituted by a movie which would have met everyone's interest.

[tinku dhar]

hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii,

this time its gr8 man ... there r lots and lots of kool

stuffs ....

got to buy soon

regards

[tinku dhar]

hey there ,

pplz wats the reall price of this month.....??????????

regards

[Darthvader]

200 bucks
Anywa i really think u shud have provided a Movie instead of Monster+business.

[~Phenom~]

I also think a movie would have been better.who wants that monster+business.

[Tapomay]

Microsoft Monster Truck Madness 2: I already have this worthless game (received as subscription gift from Digit).

Business Plan Deluxe: I think it's of no use to maximum of us.

DVD: Games, movies, eye candies look good but don't know how they will be in reality.

CD: Not good except 2/3.

Magazine: It's really good enough.

Fast Track: Waiting for this.


OVERALL: LACKS THE PUNCH EXPECTED FROM THIS 5th ANNIVERSARY ISSUE.

[Akhil Jain]

The Games on the DVD: Same as the one you have provided with the SKOAR Magazine.....A bit disappointing.....Sounds as if you did it to fill up the space....

DIY CONTENT
yummy
hope!!!!!!!it is not copy paste from net

[azaad_shri75]

totally disappointing stuff,who wants that business cd,where are linux distros like suse 10.1, FC5 , I thought atleast iso images would be provided,I dont know why these magzine people disappoint always,they will give chance to put your demands,however nothing will be provided from the people's demands,really a strange thing, still I will buy the mag,

what about the movies which player is required?

[E.T.]

the business cd was just to fill up the space and nothing else. Moreover the project gutenburg cd can be ordered by anyone. Though they have kept the price same as before they must have hugely cut down on their costs by providing such stuff.

[royal]

as usual the DVD quality sucks they just popped in some useless stuff to fill the space probably the demands were not given much serious thought

[manoranjan sahoo]

waiting 4 this issue on satnd ummmm.....

[aryayush]

The DVD sucks and the magazine rocks!

Not really looking forward to it but I will buy it.

I was really not expecting another 'madness'!

[Darthvader]

Are u actually providing the 2.2 gb freespace 2 full.
Then The contents will surely rok

[kumarmohit]

Hmm Lets see

~ The Mags good
~ A dual layer DVD - man just for the heck of having a dual layer DVD - to be the first person to have one in my entire colony - I am gonna get it.
~ Monster Truck Madness 2 - Hmm... No comments before I try out the thing (besides free games - even if 2-3 are 3D shall make up for that)
~ Business Plan Deluxe - No use for me..

[sude]

hurrah great content this time diGit again had proved that with constant effort a great compilation can be created... go on...

lookin forward the mega anniversary issue... hope u too..

This one won't be empty. What use is a disk on which you cannot write?
And you can get empty dual layer RW DVDs for Rs. 150. Leave the mag and buy a DVD instead.
