Default Re: Digit or Chip

I started with Digit back in june 2004, then after 4 months got bored with it, so switched to Chip, still loving it. Ya i buy atleast 1 digit mag in a year, but find nothing interesting, cd/dvd contents r a little better than chip but nothing outstanding to talk about. HaHa chip is now giving DL, hope they will soon switch to HD or BR when time comes. Chip is a pro or i shud say guru in marketing, guess what i got lured to chip when they provided 2cds and 1 dvd., compared to just 1 cd and 1 dvd from digit, and i found that digit cd and dvd contained both simialr contents. Also the paper quality of chip is very good. Don't know who is gonna take the lead in the future, but competition is good. There shud always be different flavors to choose from, and we decide which tastes good for our tounge.

Going out of the way, I guess PC World is the best... No doubt Fast Track makes Digit fight hard...

Today I will say those who don't hav fast internet connection DVD contains of both magazines are good. For others both sucks.

Taking abt Issue Digit hav to improve paper quality. Chip magazine presentation is good.


And yes PC World stand no where near to both magazine.

chip is beating digit from past 4 months in all ways..
i think digit is losing its readers.
clean example is a superb cover story of Chip in May'09 _ "Ethical Hacking"
how many of digit readers did read that article..
i think chip is going at right way to catch readers..

PCWORLD is at top for DVD contents... no choice to others.

I like Digit's forum, even if it's buggy, it's gr8. The new Digit mag rocks downright, but occasionally I buy CHIP instead.

^ Correct! Chip forum though bug-free is dull. I love TDF the way it is.

I have bought only 3 issues of Chip till date but everytime I bought I was dissappointed that I missed that month's issue of Digit.

I prefer Digit over Chip.

Guys, CHIP has been hacked.

Sorry for replying after so long time of ur this post.

First to let you know Digit did cover the network security issue a long time ago, say this january. If you have the issue u can check. Though that issue of Digit and the Chip issue are not exact same in content but 75% of them are same.

In that issue Digit provided more bigger picture and had more pages on that topic than Chip.

And, PCWorld magazine is bogus as compared to Digit or Chip, totally un-organized and most of their articles concludes with a website link of the remainder part of the article.

Yeah, one reason I loved PCWORLD DVD is because of GAMEPRO and MACWORLD free issue. Nothing special leaving them, in dat too.

How many hardware/gadget reviews does digit have in a single page?
TBH, if one is a quick learner, is better off being in much better technical forums.

Yes I mean my words, I was a subscriber of PC-World for one year but it could not satisfy me. Its been 2 months dat my subscription ended. If I ever go back. it would be GAMEPRO being the reason. I miss it very much

these days digit is becoming bad because there are lots of article then any other things like before and also they omitt important things like "puzzle, photo caption and show your desktop"desktop from the magazine which i think everyone likes who reads digit magazine.

But there are also some good points of digits new avtaar like good paper quality, more adds, and lots of tech stuffs and updated price of all the stuffs.
