PSM / Playstation magazine is done...

[te72]

Now, the question is, did anyone else read it? I subscribed for almost 15 years. In its heyday (back when it was known as PSM), the magazine kicked a lot of ass, with a unique sense of humor, fantastic art (most covers were done by comic artists), and a focus on fun.

Was kinda disappointed to find out that it is officially over. Really wishing I hadn't gotten rid of my collection after that Rob guy took over as EIC. The magazine really went downhill after that guy took the helm... and to think I was only missing maybe 10 of the ~195 issues. :nono: At least I donated it to the local library for their book sale. Either way, I really wish publishers would have scanned and maintained a digital archive of magazines like this.

So... am I the only one here who read PSM/PTOM?

Heh, seems we are in the same boat sir. At least NP knew they were going down. Apparently the PTOM guys found out the day they were shipping the last issue, that it was the LAST issue, according to what Roger (last/former EIC) told me.

Kinda sad to see all these publications go. You really don't get the same sense of personality from a web page, even on the really good ones. That, and it's nice to have paper in your hands from time to time...

I see what you're getting at sir. I'm still a kid at heart though, and still find it fun to re-visit childhood memories sometimes. Having grown up has its advantages for sure, but being grown up has a place and a time. All the time, and all the places? Just wouldn't be who I am.
