"Official Playstation 2 Magazine"

When I recieved my welcome pack for the PS2 it said the official magazine was essential and offers up to 5 playable demos with movie and game trailers. I've bought two issues since then and they didn't have anything on films and have 2 very short demos. The videos are of very poor quality compared to PSW or PSM2 and some say "availible now" when the game isn't out for months.

The magazine has some nice reviews and screenshots and is the first for news straight from Sony, but PSW is pretty damn fast at catching up and offers a brilliant DVD with an on disc back catalogue, Movie trailers, news, previews, reviews and bonuses. The commentary on the PSW disc talks you through what your seeing and is very interesting to hear.

The offial PSone magazine was fantastic and was the only magazine with a CD and playable demos but I find watching someone play is as effective as playing it yourself.

I buy PSW more than any other magazine and if you suscribe each issue costs £2.99, far better than dishing out £5 each month which by the way can get you a decent PSone game.

res

they say the MGS2 demo will be an exclusive playable demo soon in OPSM2

thats what OPSM2 said

Ive got nothing but praise for the official PS2 mag - In my opinion its the best magazine out now that the official DC mag has ceased production!! But I agree with most others the DVD is quite disappointing - They need more playable demos of up and coming classics, but I guess you cant have it all at once - In time Im sure the demos will get better!!

i dunno, but i aint complaining

How come they do that?The mag isnt that bad

incase ne1 wants it, the number is:

09065 775775

calls cost £1.50 per min at all times.
lines open 24 hours a day.
calls should last approximately 3 minutes

its a recorded answer phone message, give your name and address plus anything else it asks you.
say it clearly,as if they cant understand it,you wont get the subscription.

do u want the number?

Really???Ill give it a try then

i no that psi2 is not the best mag ever.but if you phone up a number thats advertised in the mag and leave your name, address etc.you get a free 6issue subscription.theres no catch, you dont have to subscribe properly afterwards.you can do it for there gameboy mag aswel (gbx).the call is about £3 or £4 but thats cheaper than 1 issue of opsm2.and each issue has a demo (not playable, its got cheats,reviews and stuff)

i remember b4 back in a issue of official ps1 mag.someone asked why there arnt many playable demos anymore.they said that the companies are now focusing on ps2 demos.i wonder where these demos are?

the dvd on psw are good...but i don't like the writers....esp in teh letters section...they are so unhelpful and try SO hard to be funny but fail....
