Windows Vista magazine rip off

windows-vista-mag.JPGNDD has distributed the launch issue of this Windows Vista magazine. They probably already know the Network has distributed this same title – as Australian magazine. So, once again, we have two versions of the same magazine. It’s pretty much only the cover which is different.

I wish that the magazine distributors would stop abusing newsagents by distributing identical titles in this way.

Something else which irks me about the NDD title is that this first issue is 99 pence in the UK yet A$15.95 here. Someone along the way is making a ton of money. Not the newsagents. The yellow new launch issue sticker covers the 99p price promotion on the front cover. Astute Australian consumers know they are being ripped off.
