Request is also the official magazine for members of Replay, which is a club that entitles you to discounts at Sam Goody's and Oncue.
Request delivers reviews of CD's and DVD's, as well as gives a good amount entertainment news. The most useful aspect of this magazine is that it shows you when and on what you can earn the most Replay points, which translates to free stuff for the reader.
Though it is mainly there to convince the reader to buy more music and video games, it's still worth scanning through occasionally, IMO, if only for the bonus replay points.
