For those who may be interested...

WH Smith have an exclusive edition of PSW - it's not the normal mag, but an "Unofficial PlayStation 2 Complete Guide"

It's about the thickness of a normal PSW edition, and has a 3-hour long DVD with clips of lots of games.

Can't tell you what's on it yet because I'[m at work and can't have a good look through it. Will try and post details later.

Price is £4.99

It is an alright review telling you what games you should have and the ones to avoid. If you buy PSW regularly though there isn't much that hasn't appeared in previous mags. Not had the chance to go through the DVD yet.

Thanks for that Wookiee, i'll have a look out for it. PSW also do a freebie magazine called Launch, It's basically a scaled down version of PSW only multiformat and about 35 pages long :-D

Apparently this edition has been out for a few weeks now, cause my mates saw it in WHSMiths a while ago. I dont think I will buy it since I cant see any new footage being on there. And I have collected every single PSW since the very first DVD came with it. SO i dont think Ill be at much loss. But for everyone else I would recommend it

I would agree with Triple H. Its more of a look at the games that have been out. They normally do a magazine like this every year. I suppose its good for the new PS2 owners, to see what games have already been out 6 months ago, that they havent seen.

When I had alook it looked like it contained previous game footage, of games already out or some of the top games like MGS2 e.t.c. There may be new footage on there.
