In case you weren't paying attention to my other outlets of self-promotion, the first issue of GameSpite Quarterly is now on sale in both a standard $12 paperback edition, and a $36 special hardcover edition for all of you big spenders out there. This being the 20th anniversary of the Game Boy, the inaugural issue of GameSpite Quarterly is devoted entirely to Nintendo's famous portable system. For more about the issue itself, check out GameSpite's blog post on the subject. and/or its online table of contents.

Times is tough, but $12 is a pretty good deal for 160 pages of good games journalism you won't find anywhere else in the world of print. Please pick up a copy if you can; we have a lot of great stuff planned for the upcoming issues. And because you asked for it, every issue of GameSpite Quarterly will be printed in English using actual words and sentences. Just try finding that in other magazines.

SUPER AWESOME EDIT: If you want to avoid paying blurb.com's unfriendly shipping rates, use the order code "hpfreeshipping" (without quotes, obviously) to get free shipping. Nice!
