can u buy pc gamer or pc zone in canada at a convenience store or is pc zone sold in UK only and pc gamer sold in US only
 
PC Zone = UK and Europe only
PC Gamer = UK and US versions available
 
PCGamer US is available in the US, I don't know if PCZone is sold outside of England mate.

UK PCGamer is the best mag tbh :)
 
Yeah, im not sure about canadas situation, I dont know where you live, but some cities close to the border get PCGamer from America, but i dont think its shipped to newstands all over the country or anything like that.
 
Some large chain bookstores like Barnes & Noble or Borders carry imported magazines... I've seen PC Gamer UK in my Ohio B&N, and Ohio is about as far from Great Britain as Canada is. :)

Anyway, what's the large chain bookstore in Canada? See if they will order PC Zone or PC Gamer for you... or maybe it's already in stock!

How else do you propose to pay for it? Monopoly money?
 
Does anyone know when the HL2 issues are supposed to hit?
 
wooo lucky for me we have the "Tattered Cover" bookstore here in denver (largest bookstore in north america) and they have magazines from alllll over the place.. wooooo!

also, if you wanna find a very specific magazine, i'm VERY SURE that canada must have magazine stores... large stores FILLED with magazines only. see if you can find one in town, i think that'd be a better bet than a regular bookstore.
 
lots of convience stores have alot of magazines of all types....ill try checking it out
 
The US version of PC Gamer is sold in Canada, maybe a SLIGHTLY different version. And I know that at least here in Vancouver, there are magazine stores that sell teh British gaming mags as well, like PC Zone and the UK PC Gamer.

Thursday, Friday, Saturday, that window.
 
You can buy PC Gamer at just about any store that sells magizines in Canada (Ontario anyways) And I'm pretty sure that they sell UK Pc Gamer at Chapters.

It's not an 'exclusive', they just got lucky with their publishing date and get to show the UK first.

Most magazines can be bought across the world but it will cost more and might be a lot of hassle. Probably worth waiting for news to spread onto the net.
 
I remember that. *Laughs* Good stuff.

This was the chat:

Carlito says:
if i buy hl2 through steam, what possibilities do i have to pay for it?
Carlito says:
do i need a credit card?
Erik Johnson says:
Yes, credit card will be available.
Carlito says:
any other possibilities?
Erik Johnson says:
Not initially. What did you want to use?
Carlito says:
maybe i can send u an envelope with some money

and dscowboy's post:

HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA

"Welcome to the Steam purchasing module. Please select your method of payment:

...

You have chosen 'i can send u an envelope with some money'. Half-Life 2 is downloading now. Please remember to send us an envelope with some money. Thank you!"

Hilarious! I worked it into a thread, and here's the pic:

I can confirm that as well. (Broadway and Granville.)
But since it's an import it takes a while to get here. (Maybe a month?)
 
local stores here in canada have pc gamer...i always see it on the magazine racks...
 
This site is good ferd, Its great, but I prefer the actual magazine to having to look at scans online, and im too impatient to wait for them to come out online, so I will end up getting the magazine anyways.
 
While I never buy usually buy Zone, I'll have to shell out the cash for it this time. They have a 10 page preview, so there's got to be at least a little bit of good stuff in there.
 
thats an awesome sig.... I don't understand the NDA we have seen some new scans come out, cool.... but will the PCZ be the same because didn't they just play the levels we have already seen but in their own way. Me confused.

There is also Global News at Park Royal Mall in West Van, another place near the food court in same mall, and I believe I may have seen the UK mags at one or two other locations.

But ya PC Gamer is available all over in Canada, at 7-11's, grocery stores, drug stores, corner stores etc. It is either the exact same as the US version or just slightly edited for Canada.
 
i have the PC gamer Mag and it has the HL2 on front cover But for all of those who are saying it has no screens...Well if you read the Back of it..And the 3 full pages of hl2 in the mag, it does say "PART ONE" "PART TWO in PC GAMER MAY 13th thursday for new fresh screens and info"

cant wait.

BUT PC ZONE WILL HAVE IT ALL FIRST TOMORROW! YAY
 
PC games ownz the place they are the first (mag in stores today)
