Guys,

I found this article By Tom Ivan:

The UK Official PlayStation Magazine is set to offer Blu-ray discs with issues of the publication from June onwards.

The discs will feature playable demos of Sony and third party titles, as well as a host of high definition multimedia content.

Ray Maguire, managing director of Sony Computer Entertainment UK said, "We are very excited to partner with Future to offer a playable Blu-ray disc to UK PlayStation 3 owners. The high capacity of Blu-ray media is the perfect method to distribute large volumes of unique existing, and user-generated content in HD, showcasing PS3's multimedia capabilities to the full.”

Publisher of Official PlayStation Magazine Matt Pierce added, "We are delighted that Offical PlayStation Magazine will deliver to its readers a monthly playable disc, and the world's first covermounted Blu-ray disc."

The Official PlayStation Magazine UK and Next-Gen are Future publications

I wonder if gaming mags in the US will carry blu-rays. Since I am uncertain if there is even a US Playstation magazine anymore...

That'd be pretty cool, have some demos from the PSN Store on a blu-ray, at least then it wont have to take up space when I want to demo some Motorstorm or AC4 (or is it 5?)

Then again, demo discs are quickly relegated to silicon coasters in my house. Eh still serve a purpose though :rofl:
