Yay well done SR - very nice magazine this edition, however, why are many X Box games stated to be released, 6 days before launch of the console. Is this madness or a printing error?

Another thing - HOW can horse racing be on both BBC1 and channel 4? That's stupid.

Maybe they're competing for the lowest ratings.

I still find it amusing/bemusing that the red splat saver icons are dotted about the magazine randomly.

I remember the Dreamcast VMU used to grace one, and now the PS2 pad does - both are sold at the RRP, so it's odd that SR do this...

I'm glad lots of people have discussed the magazine! Well done.

What I'd like to see:

1. Bring back the quotes from customer reviews. This will encourage people to post reviews and visit this site. (I know some would argue that we don't need any more newbies, but I think it would be good.

2. Post a small section on FOG and a regular update on the forum news. I know it has no bearing on selling stuff in your shop, but if people are encouraged to have a quick look at this strange and wonderful site then they will be hooked, stay and realise that they can buy things online, thus increasing the amount of sales. Honest. Plus, it makes me feel good seeing FOG stuff in the mag.

3. Staff section, yes. As Grix and Goatboy both mentioned it would be what is known as a 'good idea'. It would make things a bit more personal and also give the reader something to read other than facts and figures. If people look forward to their next magazine then they will spend more time reading it and notice more things for sale, rather than just having the same ol' pages for each console and a list of games. They would be more likely to show it to freinds as well.

4. I'm open to writing something for the magazine too if you get stuck for time/writers!

5. um, ok, that's it...

Mine back two pages are stuck together...

The sodding glue from the plastic bag has welded them together.

Damn. I wonder what was in there to begin with?

It's just too professional-looking at the

Tell me what you want, I will make it with my computing brain power.... Please Tony. Let me have me dream...

No worries mate.
I've been told to "tone it down a little".
So I turned it up some and they loved it.
