For anyone that is doubting the 140 pages of content will be worth $10, I work in the magazine publishing business (In fact, I do the layout for 2 bi-monthly magazines) and I can tell you; 140 pages of content /without ads/ is a /HUGE FREAKIN' TON OF CONTENT/.

The magazines I lay out are usually 140 pages as well, and they typically run about 60%-70% advertising. I even seem to remember a couple years back someone approached us to commission a 'zine with 40% advertising space - our salespeople practically laughed him out of the conference room.

If this really is ad-free. It will be pretty crazy amount of content. I can only assume they will fill a lot of the space with huge pictures. Definitely worth $10 an issue if you're into magazines and huge pictures.

Anyway, just thought I'd put that out there. No idea if the content will be any good, but if it's anything like everything else Blizzard makes, you can be pretty sure it will be awesome.
