Just found this deal for a one year subscription to ESPN the Magazine for $1.99. You also get access to ESPN Insider. I already have a subscription, but I added another year to it. I find the magazine basically worthless, but you do get ESPN Insider. Go to this website http://home.dailysteals.com/

Just got mine, thanks for the link! I agree that ESPN the Magazine is poor, it's a lot of fluff pieces and eye candy. SI is much more of an actual journal. But the Insider access is nice, and for $2 how can I complain?

Thanks for the link. I wasn't too sure about the site so I googled it and people seem to have a lot of headaches with them. It is only 2 bucks but I'd actually like to receive the magazine, anyone ever deal with this site before?

Edit - Found a thread on slickdeals.net about it here http://slickdeals.net/forums/showthread.php?t=2435955 Should answer a lot of questions.

I'm not convinced and definitely not giving them my CC info. Seemed to be lots of people on the site you linked with concerns as well...

Not sure about the link, but I've gotten the magazine since it started. The insider access is definitely worth the price. I actually don't even read the magazine when it comes in because every magazine article is available to insiders online. But if anyone is considering it, the insider stuff is worth it.

If anyone knows how to get Insider without the magazine, let me know. They should pay me for having to recycle that trash.

I'm not 100% sure because its been a while, but I think there might be an option to receive the magazine as a digital download instead of a paper subscription. Check ESPN's website and see if you can find something out.

That would be great, will do.

I have few rules in life, but one of them is this: if a single issue of a sports magazine has 2 separate cologne sample inserts, unsubscribe.

Did anyone end up doing this? I did, but haven't received any magazines yet.

Do you happen to know if it Is possible to get the insider log-on info before the magazines start coming?

I was scrolling down, planning to add exactly that comment -- I would pay a little extra to get insider without the magazine. It just clutters up my mailbox.

But for every issue of the magazine sent, their advertising dollars go up. I don't think ESPN much cares what you do with it when you get it, so long as you do get it. Their advertisers might care, though.

monthly subscription to insider only, no magazine and no contract, is $6.95/mo. that was sort of the whole point of the daily steals deal, that it was two bucks for the year.

Did anyone ever get any magazines or their insider account? There is another item on Daily Steals I kind of want but I'm not sure if its a fraud.

You can sign up for the magazine as a digital download if you don't want the paper subscription. You may have to contact their customer service department to sign up for the digital download, though.

I agree ... the Insider Acess is a good deal ... I'd pay more for it if I could get it WITHOUT the magazine, which is just trash.

^^^ I wrote twice that you can get the insider without the paper magazine. You don't have to pay extra, you just have to call their customer service and let them know that you want the digital magazine subscription instead of the paper subscription. Then you don't have to read the digital magazine, you can just delete it if you don't want to read it.

I signed up for this back in November and have not received anything. I'd stay away.

Well I finally did start receiving my subscription. Not sure the reason for the four month turnaround time. I'll still stay away from this website in the future.

I agree; I, too, finally received the ESNP Magazine and was able to log onto Insider, but the delay was ridiculous and I will never again do business with "The Daily Steal."

Sigh. I must have been one of ESPN Insider's first subscribers in fall '96-spring '97. So early that their billing system was screwed up, and I never paid them again, and they didn't cut off my access until 2004 or 2005. I miss it, but I refuse to pay for the paper magazine. Very interesting to see in this thread that you can switch to a digital download- I may well consider that, thanks!
