Sky At Night Mag - Cover Disc

[SniffTheGlove]

What has happened to the plastic CD case we always had. My mag turned up today with a cheap cardboard wallet. Cost cutting?

My postman only comes after 12 so i will have to check perhaps people have been complaining when it comes through the door its cracking when hits the floor, more than likely cost cutting though.

If my subscription copy ever arrives ( In China anything with a CD is considered as potnetially [removed word] ) it gets bent double and thrust through our tiny mail box....the plastic cover is always broken...but somehow the CD survives. If it has not arrived  then it means it has been nicked.

[Saganite]

Yep, looks like it, it does however have another episode with dear Sir Patrick, so i'll

probably forgive them.

[Umbraldot]

Yes mine's the same. 

[kerrylewis]

Not sure why, but I find that I like the magazine but very rarely look at the disc. Am I the only one?

[tekkydave]

I have about 10 now but have never looked at them. Maybe I should especially the ones with SPM episodes.

[wookie1965]

Well came home after going the hospital and yes cardboard sleeve i think its better a lot slimmer does not take up as much room in my drawer.

[astronymonkey]

I never look at it either, and I dont really know whats on there !

No problems with the cardbaord cover and to be honest I prefer it to the plastic one.

cheers

Hello Ian

Seems that I'm not the only one to ignore it. Gramophone magazine used to have a disc but they stopped it in favour of online content. S&T magazine also has extra online content. Maybe S&N should consider that? Must save money, and anyone that does want the content can still access it

Some 10 years ago I read a few magazines that came with CD's. All of them eventually went over to cardboards, so it was only a matter of time before TSAN caught up with the times. Although the plastic sleeves will always look nicer. All of them also went over to DVD's, so hopefully that will happen with TSAN too. I'd love to see some higher-res versions of the movies and episodes.

Some good stuff on the cd's but usually dont bother either. Better get on and finish the april issue.

[Davey-T]

Never mind the cover disc, they've thrown another Dob in the mix, how am I ever going to decide what to buy

Mine is a plastic case still.

I think I'd prefer the card wallet though. Hopefully it's made from recyclable materials, makes sense.

 Cardboard arrived today. Pity about the change - the plastic cases were handy for storing downloads etc. But I guess it helps to keep the price down. No doubt the next move would be to a website only.

I hope not. I have always had this little moan that you can not take a website to bed and read, I appreciate when I used to say this was that you had to take the laptop to bed however with the use of tablets it does make it slightly better but you could still nod off and drop the gadget onto the floor whereas the mag would be OK from the drop.
