Yes, you read it right. As per the new subscription form, it says that Digit would give 4 Special issues worth Rs.200/- in a year, so its not just going to be in June and December but the special issues would be more frequent.

Anyone has any idea when would the other two special issues come through?

Ads are okay but its an extra expense for people who buy all the issues

Hey dont ill-talk digit.It rox. Paper prices have gone up and so has the cost of printing. I amsurprised that the mag ahasnt shot up their normal prices to 200 and the special edition prices to 500. Shocking. Guys, we should appreciate digit's endeavour in keeping up to the times and not falling apart.


Anyone with me?? :p

As per the Digit Subscription form, they say that there are 4 special issues. But in the past 1 year (12 months), we have just seen 3 special issues, one in June 2008, one in Oct 2008 and one in Dec 2008. Digit still need to clear when the fourth one would be because they have been taking the subscription money as per 4 special issues a year...

Thats true to an extend. I pay Rs.850/- for a 128 Kbps unlimited connection and download stuff worth 20 GB a month. Where as I get similar stuff for Rs.200/- on 2 or more DVDs. That certainly makes a difference. Rs.850/- is excluding the electricity charges of Rs.7/- per unit.
