Bournemouth-based publisher repositions PlayStation 3 magazine for launch of the new Sony console
Imagine publishing is pleased to announce the relaunch and renaming of
Next3, the UK's only magazine entirely dedicated to PlayStation 3. The
new name of the magazine will be PSU3, an acronym for PlayStation
Unlimited.
Highlights of the redesign include the dramatically
restyled news section and an innovative Network section that spotlights
PlayStation 3's unique multimedia and networking capabilities.
Nick
Jones, Editor In Chief of Imagine Publishing's PlayStation titles,
said: "Next3 was created some time before the launch of the PlayStation
3 and was tailored to reflect the machine's functionality based on
Sony's specifications rather than actual hands-on experience."
"Now
that we've been able to sample the PlayStation 3 hardware and software
and assess its unique capabilities we're in a position to include
content, and to style the magazine, to better target and service
PlayStation 3's early adopters “ the readers who make up our core
audience. We also felt that a name change would be the best way to
indicate to the reader that the magazine has had a major overhaul."
PSU3
remains the only magazine on the market that is entirely dedicated to
PlayStation 3 and with this redesign, along with its strong web
presence, PSU3 is even better placed to bring its readers the very best
in PS3-centric entertainment and networking.
The first issue of PSU3 is on the shelves 29 March, priced $4.
