Subscribed to a Retro Gamer magazine, with the offer of a gift (a wired USB controller). Was sent a Nintendo 64 controller, which is utterly useless, and now will effectively become landfill. Thanks for contributing to waste plastic, you could have at least said that the original gift was not available & would I like a reduction in price / something else. As a result I am not continuing with this subscription, and I thoroughly recommend other people to avoid too.EDIT (Response to Magazines Direct on 27 Mar)No, the email response does not resolve the matter. I have received an N64 controller, which only works with a Nintendo 64. The packaging slip states it is an N64 controller with a USB cable, it is not, so I'm not entirely sure you know what is going on. Either way it is not the original gift, and is of significantly lower value.I asked for cancellation of my subscription, because you have not met the terms of the contract. The response was that a 8bitdo Wired Pro 2 G Classic controller has been sent out on the 15th March, which will be with me within 28 days!I will update the review if something else subsequently turns up, but I suspect that this is a way to try to get out of the 28 day cancellation period - I am keeping records.
