so is it online game or can be played offline :?:

A permanent online connection is required to play the game.

thanks for the early preview.

I got my issue! Woah! It's just the 28th of July and I got my August issue! I am a subscriber btw.

The main articles are LAME (The two cover stories). Sorry, can't help it Digit. But the good part is the other articles are great. The tests are good and the DVD content is also awesome

. Thanks for the early delivery Digit! The FastTrack seems helpful too.

Overall it's a nice issue IMO.

Prince of Persia : Sands of Time? For free? HOW???
Someone explain

Guys I have posted a reply to this earlier, please refer to the QnAs answered on the page before posting the same question

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (Free Full Game) (Ad Supported)
A permanent Internet connection is required to play the game.

Why permanent online connection is needed. its not a multiplayer game? And how much bandwidth it will consume.

I had played all the games of this series. its one of the best in its genre.

As it is ad supported, ads are fetched from the internet during gameplay. Its not MMORPG.
256 kbps would suffice.

not happy with the content of the magazine. not at all. HD DTH Test????

If you have win rar installed then double click on the file, go to 'extraction path & options' on top, in the newly opened window check 'keep broken files' under 'Misc' section and try running the exe file..

Wow received the magazine today !!! Great work... Keep it up.

I

Received my copy on the 29th of July..

But i have not opened the package as i have not finished reading the July issue yet.. :wink:

****
This is conversantly a problem now... every time DVD has some problems .
Was hoping every time from past 5-6 months tha it will get solved but no. You guys F****d up again. The rar file gave me a crc failure at 99 % while decompressing pronce of persia. I am so angry , you guys waste my money.
I am a Digit fan from the days when you guys used to print hindi magazines at 50 bucks, but now .... I think I'll have to look for options

Ha Ha HA

Another of the POP Fans Got Fooled By This

The Free Game Was Offered on Gamers Hell website In Year 2005 As Free Play But The Offer Was Than Expired but the File Is Still Available

THis Game Will Never Run as It Will Never Install

DIGIT GOT FOOL BY IT :razz:

i was also fooled by it some years ago Ha Ha Ha
