I guess I'll subscribe to it after my current GI subscription expires.

Wow. First Maximum PC and Mac|Life, then Nintendo Power a few weeks ago and now a new Playstation magazine. All they have left is Microsoft and Future US will have a magazine for every gaming machine, including PCs and Macs, under their control. I just hope they are a good company and don't screw this up.

Don't they already have a Playstation magazine though? Something like PSM?

I never buy game magazines anymore after coming to neoseeker. Why pay $15 for what you get off the net for free?

  Simple...
  
  I'll take Borderlands for example...
  
  Sure they have a thread about the game in the forums, but you're not gonna get every little detail from the 4 page issue of GI.

I'll keep GI in one house and if this seems good, I'll hook this up for the other house.

I might pick up the first issue, to see how it goes...

I already have two manga subscriptions (Shonen Jump and Shojo Beat)...If this came with demo disks, it would probably cost upwards of $12 Canadian (OPM was $14+ tax in canada)...

Uhm there was already an "Official Playstation Magazine" which was run by the same guys and gals who run 1up. OPM was discontinued. It had been around for years and years and they had offered demo discs with their issues. I wonder what this "new" mag will be like.

I wonder if it will be any good, will they give good ratings? Or will they actually give bad ones.

I really don't subscribe to magazines, and I don't think i'm going to subscribe to this one as well. It doesn't look that good, if they were going to make a new one they should have made it a long time ago.
