I think those days are long past us. PC gamer is currently $9 for one digital issue. Game informer (print) is $12. Both of those are obviously much cheaper if you get a subscription but for those who just casually wanted to grab one while getting groceries it's either that or a few gallons of milk.
Oh, now.. yes the prices are dumb now. cause of dwindling demand due to just being able to get info everywhere, so they up prices to cover costs.
