Bournemouth-based publisher launches innovative new monthly PlayStation 3 magazine
For Immediate Release 10 August 2006
Imagine Publishing is proud to announce the launch of Next3, the UK's first and only PlayStation 3 dedicated magazine. Hitting the newsstands on the 10 August, Next3 will be the latest magazine from the makers of Play, the UK's longest-running and bestselling unofficial PlayStation magazine and will be entirely dedicated to Sony's upcoming console, giving the reader the most comprehensive PlayStation 3 coverage possible.
Next3 has been targeted at a techno-savvy adult male audience that will be the PlayStation 3's early adopters. The magazine will offer in-depth news, previews and reviews of upcoming PS3 games and will also feature an innovative new section that will cater for the PlayStation 3's multimedia and networking capabilities. This will cover such topics as Blu-ray movie reviews, online gaming and cutting edge technology.
From issue two Next3 will come with a free covermounted DVD that will contain high quality PlayStation 3 video footage, features and trailers, interviews and reviews and other bonus materials.
Nick Jones, Editor in Chief of Next3 said, "We have drawn on some of the brightest young talent here at Imagine Publishing to create a magazine that accurately reflects the capabilities of PlayStation 3 and aids the reader in getting the maximum enjoyment from his new console. We want to match high quality videogames journalism with the accessibility of film and technology magazines. Whereas all other PlayStation magazines in the market are PlayStation multi format, Next3's unique single format focus will enable us to give the reader unrivalled PlayStation 3 coverage."
"Next3 perfectly exemplifies Imagine's commitment to editorial quality and innovation and we're happy to support Sony's new console with a sophisticated next generation videogames magazine."
