How much?

[Wils]

How much?

Every time an issue is downloaded, an undisclosed amount of money is removed from Marbles' bank account. ;)

[Bad Andy]

Jeez - that's sooner than I was expecting.

[TordelBack]

Mark this moment well.  The die is cast.

[Marbles]

bloody hell this is fantastic :)

just hope its cbr not pdf :(

2000ad is really ahead of the curve on this one. awesome stuff. but whats the price ??

[JayzusB.Christ]

I really hope this isn't the beginning of the end. Please, please, please keep the paper version around, Thargy boy.
Though I suppose all the big newspapers manage to do it

[Marbles]

Has anyone checked out the movies !!!!

Fucking brilliant.

Could do with some mood music or sound effects if I was to quibble.

Rebellion have shown themselves to be truly years ahead of the market with this.

The whole thing (downloads, movies) is pure genius. I'm gobsmacked.

Wonder if back issues will become available digitally?  Priced right, I'd buy em.  It'd help me clear out a lot of attic space.

But the real physical paper progs have to stay, too - it will just be nice not having to worry about storing them if I can just re-read them on screen, and buy graphic novel collection of favourite stories to read like a proper book :>

Digitally bringing out Prog 2008 one week after it is published - a prog which actually goes on sale for three weeks - sounds like a slight mistake.

[Grant Goggans]

I'll buy a digital prog 1208...!

"Digitally bringing out Prog 2008 one week after it is published - a prog which actually goes on sale for three weeks - sounds like a slight mistake."

Maybe, but it's also the ideal jumping on point. I was drawn back into the fold after picking up prog 2000. I haven't missed an issue since. I think it's actually pretty shrewd.

[Radbacker]

not for me, I need my hardcopy.  No matter what they do it isn't the same quality as printed + I dont have a computer at home and I dont think work will like me reading my prog.  Still as long as they keep the paper version and ship it Down under for me I dont mind.  Any mention of price?

Ah, what's the point in flogging a dead horse? Let's just wrap this all up and now with the final prog. Well, let's be honest, the last decent prog was 699 so lets stop pretending, shall we?

ight, I'm off to slash me wrists. Borag thungg, Earthlets!!

[ThryllSeekyr]

 I thought they were kidding at first.

Somehow, I don't like the idea of paying for something that I physically hold in hands. However much this may keep the enviromentalists happy.
