Can you buy just one issue of Game Informer or do you have to subscribe?

The reason I ask is because I went to Game Stop and they said I had to subscribe. But I seem to remember being able to purchase single issues. Does anyone know if you can still do that or if they've changed it?

I doubt that it's subscription only, they were probably just trying to get more money out of you.

If it's like every other magazine than you should be able to get every issue at newsstands when they're released.

Makes more sense to subscribe anyway. Single issue is $5.99 USD. Subscribe through Gamestop: $15 USD which includes a one year subscription of GI and one year of benefits of the Edge card(10% off used games, etc.)

Apparently you can't get them a news stand or at game Stop. I just tried both and they're not at any News Stand and when I went to Game Stop they told me I had to get a subscription.

thats weird because ive bought single issues, maybe they changed their policy. but it is a good deal for the edge card. its $15 so its only $9 more and you get a year subscription and 10% off used games for a year. id look into that

Guys you can get them at large bookstores like barnes and noble and borders. I subscribe but i see them there every month. The reason you couldnt find it is because they sold them all. hello?

Based on the other video game mags out there when I would buy a lot of them (When I was younger) Game Informer is not worth buying any one single issue for the price anyway.

No, they are there to give to you for your first issue if you subscribe. I bought one there onetime but i had to get rude with them to get it. Never again.....

Since you already have a topic on this board about GI, and it's not really a 360 topic, I'd ask that you restrict GI discussions to that thread. Thanks!
