Meh, I never really had any love for "Official" magazines. Of course I still remember the good old days when I got demo CD's for PS1...

I remember the last time they stopped making Playstation Magazine! It was a sad day. The only was gaming magazines can thrive is with exclusive info and interesting articles

Bummer, I still got them, even though everything in it was available on the internet. It was a nice thing to have with me when on a plane or even on a break at work.
Ahh, those were the days as a kid waiting and waiting till the next gaming magazine came in the mail.Hard work never killed nobody but I ain't taking any chances

I believe thats the US magazine, which hasn't been running as long as the UK one, like a good 10 years less

Not a surprise, but I'll miss gaming journalism on paper.
Shut up and play games

Subscribed for years. Always preferred the U.K. magazine 'Play'. Way more content and a really cool ratings playlist in the back. Also came with demo discs sometimes but they were always region locked. PTOM was pretty cool though. A lot of the writers bolted in recent years, probably seen this coming.

I haven't brought a playstation magazine for a couple of years now. I normally use Gametrailers or this forum to check out reviews.
Edge and Play used to be pretty good when demo discs were needed!

I have not had a subscription to this magazine since the PS1 days. And that was only because they included demos with their mag. And having a demo for a game back then was the coolest!!!!
I think this was the magazine....
