[PREVIEW] Feb 2005 Digit DVD / Digit Magazine

[Byte]

Half-Life 2 Demo

I had to remove this at the 11th hour, quite literally. Reason being that the demo would not install properly. I tried three different sources, same result - Steam would crash after installing about 3 GB of the game. Suffice to say, as soon as we get a proper EXE file, one that installs, we will ship it on the DVD.

Ok this is a defenative buy, What I like is

Mandrake 10.1 Yahooo

Pray,Why the Non-DVD Owners are being robbed of the Desktop Delights?
And that too when all these would hardly take arnd 10-15 MB???

 

[drgrudge]

Hmm

Hmm, i am not impressed with the contents of DVD nor the mag

Just want to try on VLC player...

 

[swatkat]

Intel and AMD - Motherboards + Processor Test

Finally, we got what we were waiting for, lets see how the test turns out!!!!

 

[Sourabh]

firstly i wod trust something only when i get the feb issue in my hands

i dun care abt the HL2 Demo

@ techno

the cover has a SPIDERMAN , hope it suffices to ur fantasies

man wht do u mean by POP WW review with words

its a professional mag, atleast i dint expect someone from the DIGIT team itself saying such a thing

besides only time will tell whether the mobo+ proccy review this month is worth enuf or its gonna be the same as like the opening 2005 jan issue graphic card review

plain crap and wrong info

hopefully i ll get the mag today

fingers crossed

lazy Digit team

Form is updated . But the site is as always never updated.

More over digit interactive section is now closed and links are not working.

Digit team should be more concern about updating the Web site then discussion form .

this only shows that digit team is not interested in bussiness any more.

from past two months digit interactive section is never updated .

and when updated it is too confusing as they now don't provide Playware CD. one cd comtenty shows last month content and other current .

and now it shows

We're sorry, but we were unable to find the page you requested.

this can't be expected in any online bussiness[/quote]

Jeez, give byte a break...

For all those who need it spelt out:

Prince of Persia: Warrior Within (with words )

The HL2 review done by byte earlier got a lot of flak from forum members. They moaned and complained about the lack of words, and didn't like the pictorial review. So this time he put in a POP:WW review, and was just informing people that it wasn't like the HL2 review, and actually has words!

You didn't like the HL2 review format, we did away with it! Now don't kill him for making a little joke...

You people need to lighten up a bit. A little joke and a smile never killed anyone!

PS: I go on record again: I LOVED the HL2 review.

As for the site updation, it's done, 1st Feb! That's why the forum post is called a PRE-view: forum members / readers get to know what's in the mag and DVD before everyone else.
How is that a BAD thing???

The site needs to improve though, and it will. That's a promise from the Digit Team!

Thanx,

Raaabo

You could have also added Acrobat reader 7.0 .

I second that.

ENSPARC CD released Adobe Reader 7.0 in their January edition itself. Digit is yet to release Acrobat Reader 7.0

Procy+Mobo review - Just what I needed right now. Besides 'twas long overdue!

PoP review with words! Waiting to see that.

@Raaabo n Byte, no probs with something like a pictorial review, just that it should be properly referred to. Everywhere on the cover, the site, it said "EXCLUSIVE : HL2 REVIEWED!". That gave the idea of something like a feature article, with a hell lotta words and pics! If u had said "EXCLUSIVE PIC REVIEW!", then noone would have complained. And yep it was nice in its own way. Just that we were all expecting something else.

HL2 demo won't work on my current sys. So that's OK. Hope it comes round in March.

And BTW some other nice stuff in the mag and on the DVD (forgot what it was already. Neway doesn't matter)

Looks bootiful. When r the subscribers' copies being dispatched?

Waiting for it...

 

[Raaabo]

Yeah I know what you mean... Anyway I loved it...

Ok gtg, time to get quick reply and report post back...

THANX FOR SUCH A NICE EDITION.
TELL ME ONE THING WHY U PPL DON"T GIVE AWAY LONGHORN; isn't it available to us (after all we certainly r the beta testers)

 

[KHUBBU]

Well, lets see what the mobo+ procc test turns out to be.

Gfx card tests was just **** !

Anyway just counting when my subscription ends and I get free ! June looks so near.

One more thing. when will the subscribers get their copy. The only time I got my copy on 1st of the month was in July '04 and the rest of the time after 7th - 12th. Whats the use of subscribing then I can pay extra 30/- and buy it anytime I want.

 

[svk]

[elumalai]
