EDGE - Need a bit of info

[Moonwalker]

Hey people,

I will get to the point. Basically I'm doing a report on a selection of videogame magazines, EDGE being one of them. Just need to know if it has always been ?4 or was it cheaper when it started? Also does anyone know where I could find some circulation figures for EDGE, GamesTM and Gamesmaster? Looked and looked on the net, but no luck.

I am being a bit cheeky, this probably should be in ATF, but I need a response a.s.a.p and I know there are a few long-term Edge readers here.

Thanks in advance.

I think it used to be ?3.50 when it started, I can't remember 100% though

[Jushin-Thunder-Liger]

Yes, believe it or not the price has indeed increased over the hundred and forty odd issues of its existance

thought it started at ?3 - was expensive for a mag back then !

ABC figures, should be on the net, if not pop to Smiths and they should all have them listed within the first couple of pages.

Hey guys,

Thanks for the prompt responses. I just managed to find the figures. About the price then, it started at ?3, went to ?3.50, then to it's current ?4? That sound about right?

[VR46]

I'm not 100% sure, someone here must have a Issue 1 though. Or prehaps there is a mag covershot on ebay ?

[Crossed fingers]

have you tried the ABC: Audit Bureau of circulation

You might to register to get some figures/info!

it went to ?3.80 before it went to ?4, edge hasn't really increased much in price since the first issue compared with other mags

Excellent. Thanks to all those who have chipped in!

Defo ?3. I remember the first issue having the price written as 'Three' rather than using numbers. That was pretty far out back in those days.

Don't remember it going up to ?3.80 though...I thought it was ?3, ?3.50 and then ?4.

back in 2000 it was ?3.80, just when i started buying edge now again

Because the missus is watching Emmerdale and the football is yet to start:

Issue 1 - ?3.00 upto
Issue 20 - ?3.50 upto
Issue 88 (new design) - ?3.80 and finally upto
Issue 111 - ?4.00

*I'm too good to you guys*

[iangilroy]

And it now costs ?4.25. When will the madness stop?

[The Glider]

Eh ? The latest issue (May) cost me ?4.00.
