those who would care for this special i'm pretty sure will rather b and almost certainly will be playing mgs4. This mag would sell much better if it came out a few days earlier

"Games media veteran" Steve Williams, who I've never heard of, despite reading lots of games magazines from the 8-bit days onwards.

@alip:
Yeah it seems a little wasted to release it on the same day. I'm sure it will cut into the amount of money they would've made.
