[Psychosocial]

The game trailers are good ......thanks for it though my CoD:WW MP trailer refused to Unzip as WinRAR was giving Read Errors.......but all the others worked just fine.....thanks a lot again for them .

[toofan]

I was eagerly waiting for the digital camera issue. As I hve to buy one.
Although I hven't bought my copy yet bec its now available here at haldwani, nainital.

But will be soon may be today.

[roshan1236a]

Al last the packaging also became good.
I am disappointed that the jewel case is missing.
I had a collection and its missing now.
The content of Mag is as usualy BRILLIANT.
Fast track was xcelllent.
Stylish packing.
But pls pls include the jewel case frm the next issue.
Thanx for including Solaris I was requesting it frm past 2 months....

[╬Switch╬]

The packaging is cool and i no more need a cutter to open it which is great!
Also thanks for Fast Track.

[krishnandu.sarkar]

Awsome CD/DVD content n packing............But where is the CD/DVD Jewel case??????

Plz don't stop tat.......!!!!!

N why is the page quality of TIPS N TRICKS changed????
Previous was better.........

[toofan]

Bought the mag yerterday at 8-00 pm. In the digicam shootout there was no camera included form sony. They have some very good cameras and newly launched models. Now how will i be able to decided which one to buy.

Guys can you post some useful websites which may help me to decide on the buying decision. My budget is around 15K. But for sony h50 I can increase it.

[ax3]

fantastic packaging ...... thanx a lot ..... cant imagine my suggestion is FINALLY accepted & implemented ........ thanx ....

mag is cool bt ff steals the show ..... thanx again .......

[alexanderthegreat]

What new packaging? I notice no difference! Could someone upload an image please? Oh, and nice mag compared to the current standards of digit! Still, I'm not impressed! Impressing me is difficult(though the old digit achieved the feat). And I'm expecting no miracles any time soon. Anyway, the small games I had asked for were not included yet yet yet yet yet.... again(Nice, that was what I had expected!). DVD contents were OK anyhow!

[rhitwick]

I liked the CD contents this time, lots of freewares........
Exactly those what I needed........

Cheers.....

[Cool Joe]

The mag is on a diet....
It's getting slimmer and slimmer.....
The articles on DDR3 and GDDR5 were informative.....

[hjpotter92]

The digit does seem to get all the praises by hooks or by crooks. The Flash Bsics were a lot of help, and the camera reviews were nice. Still,

The mag is on a diet....
It's getting slimmer and slimmer.....
The articles on DDR3 and GDDR5 were informative.....

I agree with him

[rajivnedungadi]

Its 3rd October today, Eagerly waiting for the October Special issue preview

[damnthenet]

Btw, I dont think there is any special issue in october

[Vishal Patil]

I didn't receive my copy of digit for last two months. Complained with customer care in October, but didn't receive the copy yet.

[topgear]

I voted for the old style. Coz it provides a jewel case which protects the disks.
Anyway if the new style keeps the cost down & you give us more quality content then you should go with the new packaging.

I just hope the oct preview will be published tomorrow...........

[roshan1236a]

Is digit still working??
I dont see any updates reg the Oct mag issue...
