    Doesn't postage for 26 issues cost more than 3$ lol?

    At 3$ a year, that is 12 cents per issue......................... Something has to be up with that.

    So this is for real? I hope this isn't a scam.

    But is ESPN the Magazine even worth it? Because if it's anything like the web site or the TV network, then no thanks.

    Yes it is for real.

    Lol is it worth it? Jesus Christ, it's $3 dollars. You could go find that in your couch, probably.

    Wow, great find Mamba, at 12 cents per issue that is hidden couch money affordable. lol

    I wonder if they messed up when they made this deal available, how can they make a profit? postage, printing, getting interviews, their staff, has to cost something.

    Higher circulation = higher advertising income. By making it dirt cheap to subscribe, they may be losing money mailing the magazines but they could jack up advertising prices because of the higher installed reader base.

    Bingo. You can get some really cheap deals on ebay for magazine subscriptions because of it. Some of them will only be a couple bucks off the regular price, but more generic ones (ie. Maxim, Blender, etc.) you can get like 4 years for $2

    You have to continue the checkout process. Before you are asked for your credit card info, there is a spot to enter a discount code.

    Note: According to slickdeals.net, the offer is expired
