Yes, you read it correct. As per the page number 114 of the november 07 issue gives a hint that Digit would have 5 issues and 5 DVDs in the December 07 issue. Lets see what Digit has to offer.

Your comments please...

maybe...but 5 DVDs...could be real...I think

we now get moserbaer DVDs for 15Rs each.so its possible as they will be getting those for below Rs 10 :p


But if they plague the disks with Linux distros then its no fun:???:

1 mag will be the digit issue,2nd will be fast track and rest all will be like introduction mags about some topics like which was given by digit some months back about topics like laptops ,antivirus.

this is what i think:D

5 DVDs at Rs 200 is very possible. And don't forget the special issues carries 2 to 3 times more ads. The advertising rates could also be higher in special issues. But 5 mag is not possible. It has got to be PDFs, or some mini booklet type magazines.

Nope

5 DVDS mein se 3 blank hogi.

Blanks are more expensive, so no, they'll all have content


What if all are not working?????????

What's with the stupid comments?


Crysis would be welcome and many others...

You will get Crysis


Let's refrain from stupid comments because others might think that you actually know something when you obviously don't.

There are 5 Digit magazines and 5 dual-layer DVDs filled to the brim with content. Enjoy.

Yes at 200 bucks they'll give 5 DVD's full of crappy software, ancient movies and stupid music from idiotic artists about whom nobody has heard before (and never will). Plus there will be a fast track book. And if some space is left in that large square package the size of Egypt they'll put the wafer thin magazine for which we paid the money in the first place. Boy i just can't wait for December to come :rolleyes:

I feel that out of 5 DVDs one will be of Movie, One for a Full Linux Disto or may be two DVDs. Then some games [Crysis is already confirmed] may be AoEIII Asian Dynasty etc. Some more software thing.

ps: Plz dont include old Movies they took up space for nothingg and I really doubt if anyone actually watch or enjoy them.

A more of Linux oriented issue and content will be very much appriciated.

Well to be frank Digit specials have been in general underwhelming.
But its ridiculous to start attacking even before the issue is out. Lets hope for that best. I am definitely looking forward to trying Crysis on my lappy.

Hopefully the mag content would also be good (and Zero1 award would be featured less prominently this time around).

Nov 2, 2007 at 3:51 PM
As far as i know the price is regular special issue price (Rs 200), but don't quote me on it :)

5 DVDs of content, and not counting any movie DVD. so that's over 40 GB of pure content.

I am a subscriber and i got the DON Dvd.

I dont care much about DVD content as i usually download all the softwares i need.
I am more interested to know what the magazine contents are.

( 5 dvds:confused: )
I don't know what they will give but I know what I don't want them to give.,

1) No Ads
2) No overrated Khan movies
3) No free mp3s which nobody listens
4) No space filling useless videos
5) No Halo/Half-Life story episodes

(..and strangely somehow, I feel that is exactly what they're gonna give..)

5 Digit magazines + 5 DL DVD would cost Rs.1000/- if you do not want the ads in the magazines. Its the ad support that helps digit give us all the goodies for Rs.200/-. I believe that half of the money goes to the distributors as well as in transport too. So lets hope for the best

Hi!

Sir, I understand that a publication cannot survive without ads. But I feel the content quality has decreased. I think there is too much stress on future, and seems like a tabloid. I loved your mag, but now i must say that your nearest competitor provides better content. I dont know how to tell you exactly but it takes max 30 mins to go through the mag whereas the competitor has more interesting contents hence i enjoy reading it. I read your mag since those vogel days. But now the sheen is lost for me atleast. Sorry if I wrote something wrong.

I never said no Linux, I said the 5 DVDs do NOT include any movie DVDs that may (or may not) be added into the package.

There will obviously be one or two linux distros, but they will not eat into any major space on the DVDs.

I am also an old digit reader. I actually think over the last 12 months or so the quality of articles in Digit have improved. The dvd content also is generally pretty decent. It's the fast track that I find worthless. but, I dont think it is meant for people like me. Its mainly for novices.

Umm.. are we getting NFS ProStreet demo?

i think there will be one DL-DVD only for gaming, i just hope they provide 2-3 of big demos (cod 4, crysis etc) & if possible one or two full version of some good games & of course some good mods & patches for the old games :D.

There isn't really much to speculate about... The 5 DL-DVDs will fall into the same categories as the magazine (Entertainment, Gaming, Computing, Personal Tech and Connect), with appropriate content. We've got a lot of space to play with, so yes, you're getting your big game demos - Crysis, NFS: PS et al, and the Ubuntu 7.10 DVD. And, of course, a huge collection of software.

Yes, you read it correct. As per the page number 114 of the november 07 issue gives a hint that Digit would have 5 issues and 5 DVDs in the December 07 issue. Lets see what Digit has to offer.

Your comments please...

I understood 5 DVD's but 5 Issue's ?

A suggestion to digit............. plz include good quality paper that bends easily bcz it helps me read when in the bed. just after buying the digit, it is ok but after some weeks, it become very stiff........... Your nearest competer have that kind of papers......... i mean, chip and pc world............
Sorry if wrote anything wrong...............

I dont think they would give a full version game with this pack, as it would anyways cost them a bomb as they are giving 5 DL DVDs + 5 Magazines for 200 bucks. Also the regular fast track is not mentioned in the list
I wonder how many pages each magazine of December would be....
