Computeractive flatters to deceive?

If you’re passing through a newsagents this week and get a sudden pang of deja vu when you see this:

Computeractive censored

(SADLY, WE’VE HAD TO REMOVE OUR IMAGE. CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT WHY)

Don’t worry. We’ve not gone mad and decided to reprint the same cover we had three months ago…

PC Pro DVD cover 165

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and so to our colleagues at Computeractive, can we just say we’re very flattered indeed. And to Computeractive’s readers, can we suggest you save yourselves £1.59 and read our Double Your Broadband For Free feature here.

And if you’re curious to know what’s likely to be on the front cover of the next issue of Computeractive, here’s our prediction:

PC Pro 167

    I have to say that the ComputerActive one is better.
    I was always really put off by that PC Pro cover because the connections on it are entirely random and illogical.
    One has 15 lines, the other 5, but both have 9 pins on the connector.

    I agree with Yaytay, the PC Pro cover is nonsensical – where are the 6 additional lines going on the connector on the right? and there’s something fishy going on with the connector on the left too. If you want to call yourself a professional PC mag – PLEASE get the basics right first.
    And is that your second *news* story this month trying to sell the latest issue? Things must be getting desperate.
