It depends on the magazine. Not all of them would be worth anything. A whole collection of one magazine would probably fetch some good money if they are in pristine condition. I don't think we have any gaming mags that stretch back 50 years yet. Looking on Ebay you'll see a ton of Gaming magazine lots for sale. I'm tempted to grab one for EGM or maybe even some Nintendo magazines. I've also considered looking for old catalogs from stores, just to look through the toys and video games. As a kid, I remember looking for new listings for PlayStation games in the Sunday paper. Wish I kept some of those catalogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, magazines have mostly stopped production. I think there are only a few gaming magazines still on the market, otherwise they're mostly digital magazines. And these days, not many people use DVDs or blu-rays anymore. Most people focus on digital formats and or stream their content now. Sadly, the days of DVDs and games being included in magazines are mostly done. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Haven't gotten a gaming magazine in ages. It has to be at least 6 years for me - physical copies anyways. I stopped getting digital copies in 2016 and I think it was PS magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, it's weird that any still pop up. There are still some physical magazines out there, but it's fairly minimal. Which sucks, because I loved getting a gaming magazine in the mail every month.

Vaporpublico Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 My favorite mag used to be one made in México called Club Nintendo. It was pretty good but nowadays you get all those spicy rumors from anywhere in the web Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case subscription covered the lending part. When I was a teenager, I actually didn't own anyone but always get to check out one's in game store in my neighborhood.

Shole Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 I do have some old ones laying around, one with a cd of the game The Strangers or something like that. A horror game where you are in prison and some weird creatures attack you. Never played it, I was too scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted August 13, 2021 Share Posted August 13, 2021 If I actually looked hard enough, I'm definitely sure to still be able to find one in my shelves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - they were talking about bumping up Ipads to 720p resolution and it was revolutionary at the time. Nowadays, almost everyone would laugh at you for that.
