"Box Set Download / 11 audio adventures from Big Finish!" suggests to me that it might be "Destiny of the Doctor(s)", the 11-part series that BF did with AudioGo for the 50th Anniversary.

Although, and please point out if my counting is massively wrong, I’m only seeing 10 releases on that offer page... Is there another release that DWM are keeping for a surprise upon release?!

Its under the collections tab on the website as DWM 544 Offer - although the credit for finding that must go to mark687  |

Maybe I am missing the point somewhat but if the DWM544 offer page relates to the eleven downloads splashed on the front cover of the magazine, aside from what the eleventh title might be why are they listing CDs as well? Is it possible that is actually an additional offer running alongside the download one? 🤔

Not many fans will have had a chance to get that anniversary set. The others listed at 50% may well be a 'whilst you are here' opportunity to reel in new or less frequent listeners. Fingers crossed the DVD is TV show content and not a 'ghosts of editors past' Myth Makers celebration. |

Fingers crossed the DVD is TV show content and not a 'ghosts of editors past' Myth Makers celebration. I have no doubt that you are right about the downloads being the entire Destiny Of The Doctor storyline and while part of me would accept that if it bought in new / infrequent listeners to this addiction we call Big Finish, the selfish git part of my psyche really hopes it would be eleven different downloads (ideally eleven downloads on my wish list..). Otherwise it would be a bit hard to justify spending £10 on a magazine to ultimately save just £5 on the only thing I would want off the DWM544 offer page (CD version of the Fifth Doctor boxset). |

Like yourself - I was thinking merely in terms of what I have not got. Slightly sarcastic reference above in that I think most of us who are interested will have paid out for that title by now, in some form or the other. I don't think BF will be overwhelmed by take-up for a free DL opportunity there from those who would otherwise have paid. More likely aimed at casual buyers/listeners. If it leads to follow on purchases then it makes money. That's the issue many of us here have with BF sales - we already have them as serial purchasers and will have picked up many in previous sales too. Will still buy the issue though as I will enjoy the anticipated retrospective of past issues. Stopped buying a while back as I simply wasn't reading them anymore, but hopefully this will be interesting enough. |
