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?

Let's do that again, Tony!

I reckon I could design a really excellent front cover for your SR magazine. It would look brill. How about it Ali? Challenge me for a prize, only if you are impressed I win?

Come on....

Yup, that's why I suggested my site to go on the customer site thingy, so you can at least recommend one decent site from the list. :0)

Mebbe not, but it differentiates SR from the other po-faced sites churning out the same old pap about consoles and sales figures.
I mean, really, who actually visits the "Freeola Customer Site of The Week"?
It's always about fishing or stamp-collecting.

Surely it shall. Turn the magazine into a readable soap opera and you'll be selling it like hotcakes.

Agreed with Snuggly and Goatboy. Just mess around with the mags and newsletters, we love them more that way.

The little white box at the bottom:

Yeah, the official PS2 mag blatantly ripped us off. The old SR mags, even though they were garish, badly designed and awkwardly put together, rocked. They have a certain legacy behind them that we struggle to match. They used to have a bit in the club page where it detailed all who worked on the mag, with names like 'Big Chief Rainbird' and 'Danny Cowboy Corder'. Get hold of one and read some of the rubbish added at the bottom of the club page, it just used to be our staff writer going off one one, usually about barbeques, seemingly.

Let's do that again, Tony!

Do you know... Ive got a feeling SR were using it before the Playstation was released?

Playstaion mag rips off SR?

Didnt they used to give a reddy away with each mag?
