As a pretty active Hacker News member, I think HM can be worth $120/yr. Here's my particular case. I've been a subscriber since the third issue and 90% of the magazine content I've seen on HN, but the presentation and centralization of the best is of wonderful value. They really do a nice job on the design front. The issues also function like a library of cool articles you can show to a friend or colleague and say "Here's HN in a box, at least one particular filtering of it." I have brought at least a couple contributors to Hacker News, just because they read through an issue of Hacker Monthly.
