It didn't need the CD or "no access unless you buy it" card envelope. As a first issue, had it been a normal magazine with neither of the above, for a sensible price, I'd have taken an interest. But it put me off on all fronts.

I'm also very selective about buying magazines these days and only tend to do so when there's a decent feature, or more than one article that interests me. And I'll still prefer the printed version.
