issue 128 is out??? I only just got 127 this week. I wish they would print it here, like some publisher would just receive the electronic information to shoot copies to the printer so we could keep-up in the USA.  I have no idea why we are still mailing paper magazines on barges across the water when we have technology...maybe I should sign-up for the electronic versions.

You actually spot on, they could have an American distribution office to cover America via digital transfer, but here's he snag, they use a reputable printing house in the UK and would have to send a printing representive on behalf of the printers and Ip publishing to make sure that the quality of paper used and materials met there requirements which mean more investment and believe me publishing houses do not like to invest more than they've too.

So I reckon the best route and even that is slow I believe is the digital versions depending were you live, that's if you don't mind not getting it in printed form, but that's why I reckon its not being printed abroad, because of the cost with little return in profits after it hits the press machines, maybe in the future when they develop matter teleportation they will have no excuse, but until then it looks like your a month behind.

Having the magazine printed in the US does make sense.  It is done with other publications, after all. 

Going to the final frontier, gaming...
