A new Second Life centric magazine has hit the news stand. This one is published by Axel Springer the same publisher as BILD magazine. BILD is a tabloid newspaper and you can find it online here. The first issue of the AvaStar is available now as a PDF download. Future issues however will cost you L$150, a certain departure from the free pricing of similar magazines. The magazine is available on their website and on their island, which was built by our own Aimee Weber.
I don't really like the idea of paying for things that I can get from other places for free. However, we will have to wait to see if the quality of their content makes up for the price. Considering that we are talking about a $0.50 USD price tag, I am sure many people will be willing to give it a try at least once. If this magazine catches on we can expect to see other magazines taking the plunge into virtual publishing.

I don't mean to spam, but I think it's important for people to know what sort of unoriginal, lazy and incompetent clowns are behind this piece of trash. Thank you, SL Insider, for a chance to comment!
