Believe it or not, books (and magazines) have not been replaced by computers. It is still nice to read from paper

New Scientist publish some content exclusively in the magazine and on the website for only magazine subscribers.
As for the Razzle comment above - +1 :)
Delivery and relevance seals it for me. I like the idea of having everything presented to me in a handy, convenient format. I also like the idea of reading things that are new and current, whereas stuff on the internet tends to be pretty old. £90 for this seems a pretty good deal to me, so I'm voting hot, and taking the offer up. Cheers, CrazyMacaque.

Stuff on the Internet tends to be pretty old? Did you really say that? Surely you didn't. I must have misread it. Nope I read it again and I'm pretty convinced you did actually say that. As far as I'm aware once a magazine has been printed that's it 'set in stone' where as last time I looked the Internet has a myriad of places where constant information updates are done. Don't get me wrong I agree it's nice to have a magazine but give me a second I'm just going to check that you actually did say "stuff on the Internet tends to be pretty old", yep you see here we go I actually do believe you said that, incredulous as it may seem you really did say it. I wish I could vote the deal hot and you freezing cold, maybe if stuff on the Internet wasn't pretty old I might be able to complete that action, anyway you'll be able to read this post in a month when the monthly Internet updates are done, this is the August 2011 edition of my post in case you're wondering.

Good deal, BTW.
I really don't understand the point of your post. Good deal mind
the new scientist specifically publishes studies and new breakthroughs all the time
often thats the only way theyre seen to be credible, medical professionals cant be guessing on what they read on a blog somewhere regarding the latest ivf treatment or whatever
anyone at uni doing science will always have to cite their info source and internet is generally not allowed.
but i agree that with most OTHER magazines you could get away with going online (ie id never buy empire or whatever when worstpreviews has the latest movie news AS it breaks)
On another note - when did New Scientist get so expensive anyway! Went to the newsagent for a copy last week £3.50! Small magazine printed on low quality paper.
Always on the lookout for good value I picked up an Empire / FHM double pack for £4.50 and let my little grey cells melt away....

The internet is easier to update etc, but a lot of stuff on the internet IS old. I highly doubt the internet more than doubles in information everyday....
But anyway, it's much easier to find new information in a magazine (i.e. you pick it up and look) as opposed to on the internet (e.g. you search on google, but it turns out it's so new that it hasn't actually been entered into google or it's on page 200+ because it hasn't got enough hits). Unless you know which website to look on, it's unlikely you'll find the newest information...
But that's just my opinion anyway, or whatever.
So yeah, this is an awesome deal. Pity I already subscribed lol :P
Web sites are generally not particularly easy to update. IMO.
What are very up to date, are wikis of course. If you really want the latest information, that's where to go. Of course the information may not be accurate or correct.
Don't do a google search, search wikipedia directly, for instance. Or any of the other wiki sites.
Anyway, google is just one search engine, there are many many others for more specific information, I've got 28 listed.
I'm in the convenience camp with this one. I don't doubt you could find all the information in this magazine online but you'd have to individually search for each article and taking into account the fact that a lot of the stuff they publish is pretty cutting edge then your unlikely to know about it until you read the magazine in the first place.
Bring on my first issue.
