CDJapan now offers magazine subscriptions

However, I expected a somewhat better deal considering they are a fairly large establishment that could probably afford to work in some sort of deal with the publishers. Instead they'll be charging full price per issue and full shipping. With all this considered, they haven't really been able to undercut other places like Sasuga or JList - some of their deals are even worse. Megami, which I've thought about getting for a while now, is notably cheaper, but the pricetag still puts me off..which is disappointing. I have also emailed them an inquiry about getting new issues of Seiyuu Grandprix, now that the only other US supplier, Animeten is having troubles with no sign of recovery. Still, unless they add some sort of bonus for subscribing I don't think it is likely that I'll bite even for Seiyuu Grandprix. You'd think they could offer some sort of discount based on the length of your order (3 months and 1 year all sell at the same price). This is still a new service though, and has only been up for about 2 days. Maybe they'll introduce some better deals soon. Keeping my eyes open for now.

edit: Wrong category.
