UK console mag to offer the 1st PS3 Blu-ray demo disc

With the wide variety of game console magazines for each of the popular game consoles, it seems about time that one started offering demos for the PS3.  Well, according to this brief PlayStation Universe report, it looks like there will be no choice when it comes to PlayStation3 owners in the UK with the OPM Magazine apperaing to get exclusive rights to disbribute Blu-ray demo discs for the console.  According to the report, the current issue advertised that the 6th issue of OPM, due May 2nd will include the world's first Blu-ray PlayStation demo disc and that no other magazine can do this.

In the first 48 hours of the UK's PS3 launch, over 165,000 PS3 consoles were sold, however the sales over the second week have fallen 82%.  On the other hand, with the significant number of PS3's bought in the UK, a good portion of these will likely start looking for a demo disc to try on their new player before forking out on their next game purchase.

Ok so how much is this next issue going to cost? Here in Australia a Blu Ray disc (movie) is anywhere from $35 - $40 AUS. I would imagine that the mag won't cost anywhere near that but it could be in the ballpark of say $25 AUS. Expensive mag.
