I was at [megatokyo.com](http://megatokyo.com) (discovering I am about 200 strips behind _sigh_), when I noticed a lil banner… 10% off newtype subscription and a free t-shirt! I thought wow that sounds really good. Clicked the link, takes me to a page with no price given. So, I do my homework and track back to the site to click subscirbe. I was think ten, MAYBE 20 dollars. Oh no my friend! GRAVELY mistaken!

That’s right, 90 dollars. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a mag with such a high sticker price for a subscription! Maybe I’m naive… but cmon! CMON! haha.  
Well I guess I could buy it at work… what is that like probably 10 bucks an issue… maaaan… 😛

anyway: [http://www.newtype-usa.com/home.asp](http://www.newtype-usa.com/home.asp)  
if you go there through here, get 10 percent off of an outrageous price…

I wish I had 100 dollars for some mags…
