I am just wondering what you guys thought about ign and there ign services. Do you think the yearly sign up is worth it? Are you people at ign nice are they mean? Is the costumer service nice? If you were to rate it on a 1-10 scale what would you give ign as a whole.

-So what I have got from this is that it is a mediocre site, but what you get back in games is worth it.

-Also 15% discount for life comes in handy

I don't really think the price of the subscription to be worth the stuff they give. That's just me though.

The game review are okay, but usually sound like they are being paid off. The game guides are nice if you are one of the ones that actually use them. I signed up for just the games. I would say I have gotten back well more than my $30 in games, even if I don't ever do the beta codes.

It's not worth it. They've been through many, fiascoes such as full Battlefield 3 CD-Keys for 1 year signatures leaking to non-members, unlimited trial memberships, flawed payment charges, etc. What they basically offer you is basic cheap indie games that you'd better off purchasing individually during sales and some access to beta games that are not that great. Paying for free games is a backwards way of thinking.

The website in itself is also pretty poor. Game Reviews consist on marketing gimmicks and often don't seem honest, as if they're supposed to appeal to people instead of doing them a favor. The Live coverages they do are mediocre and they're often trying too hard to appeal to their public so they stay there and spend with things such as Prime. Overall, the service is not really worth the trouble you might get into and the company doesn't deserve any of your money whatsoever, in my opinion.

They fixed the free trial problem so at least they somewhat care

I've heard some people saying that people who went that way pretty much still have their trial periods going to this day. Though they might be rumors.

There was something a little while ago about them not checking your credit card so people signed up with like a visa gift card and then just canceling the payment and keeping there game

That discount is the bees knees. I got it back when they still offered the free trial, and have been using it ever since. It's saved me some good money.
