They're giving you a magazine and DVD for free. How is that a scam?
(Are you expecting it to be full of adware?)
The 'limited time' thing is probably to create a sense of urgency,
which I agree is cheesy, but I hardly think that deserves to be called
a scam. I'm sure they're hoping you'll like what you get, and maybe
subscribe for real. Letting you try their magazine before you pay up
seems like a very honest way to promote their product.
