Here's what I have to say: HELL YEAH OPM!!!!!!!!!!

For the first time ever, as the topic says, the Official U.S. Playstation Magazine included not only the usual PS2 DVD disc, but a UMD Demo disc as well! The UMD for November's issue (Issue #110) was a demo for the game KillZone: Liberation, obviously for the PSP. Issue after issue,  was left with little hope that OPM would release a UMD disc with the magazine. Only recently did I read, in issue #108 or 109 (I don't quite remember nor feel like checking my previous issues), did OPM specified, after a letter received from a reader requesting a UMD disc, that they reserved us a little surprise coming soon. My hopes grew bigger than ever. Here's how I was.

I went to the mall with my girlfriend, now that I have my license I can drive up there, and I needed to buy cigarettes (yeah I know..I need to quit one day). Went up to that little store in the mall and all of sudden before reaching it, I remembered..remembered that I forgot to buy OPM's latest issue of course! As I slowly walked and stared at the different types of magazines in the store, most notably the porn magazines which were just above gaming mags, The FIRST thing I saw was "SPECIAL UMD DISC INSIDE!" in a corner of a mag. My first reaction? GIRL!!! THEY FINALLY DID IT!!!!! THEY FINALLY INCLUDED A UMD WITHIN THE MAG!!!!!!! Being sure to hold up the mag at the height of the playboy to read further on the cover..of course.

Anyway, once I got home, ate, and drove my girlfriend back to her place, I finally got to open the damn thing. What did I see? KillZone: Liberation was inscribed on the UMD disc. In a hurry, I grabbed my PSP, turned it on even before the UMD was inserted, chose the Demo in the PSP's interface and finally was ready for the big awakening of my first ever UMD demo disc. AWESOME! I really enjoyed trying out the game and let me say, even if I hated the demo, I definately want OPM to start mass producing these UMD's to include a different demo with every single issue they release. It is a really good way to get a glimpse of the most awaited games for PSP other than having only small videos offered on the PS2 DVD disc included in every issue.

On a side note..I don't know if a UMD have enough space for such as I have absolutly no idea how space management on discs works, but it would be great if they could like..have every PS2-PS3 insights on the DVD disc and keep every PSP insights on the UMD disc. Maybe it can't be done, and if it can't, I don't care. I want OPM to have a PSP demo with every issue. Personally, they can even sell the mags at a higher price if it's only to include a UMD every month, I'll still buy it and I'll even be happier with my purchase than I sometimes can be.

I know most of you probably don't care about it, as I don't even know if any of you own a PSP, but I just had to share this moment of joy with all of my friends on GameSpot. If you hate me for doing so..well just don't leave a comment? Thank you. Even if I have ZERO comments on this topic, I don't mind, I have told what I wanted to be told, my joy has been sent to all ya'll because of a simple, tiny, UMD demo disc. Share the joy! not the hatred!
