Club PlayStation (Argentina)

[Julian_L]

Club PlayStation (renamed as Club Play) is the name of a series of magazines that were sold in Argentina about PlayStation games, being the first numbers (the most popular ones) evidently about PSone and some PS2 games.

The content of these magazines were cheats (trucos = tricks), guides (estrategias = strategies), easter eggs (secretos = secrets), reviews (El ojo clínico = The clinical eye), interviews (entrevistas), answers to questions made by their followers (usually about video games), and more rarely a questionable photo of a woman, all of it mostly mixed with many humorous comments by using lots of Argentinian colloquialisms.

Most of these magazines were officialy uploaded to Google Drive as PDF. They are no longer in physical format.

Club PlayStation and Club Play aren't the same thing. Club PlayStation starts with number zero, while Club Play with number one, and its content is not the same as that of Club PlayStation #1.

Yo soy de argentina y la primera revista que me compren fue la n°71 que tenia la portada de los pes 2010 y fifa 10, en esa revista venia una guía de jefes del persona 4 lo cual hizo decidirme a probar el juego.
De ahí en adelante me compraba cada numero que salía hasta que dejo el formato físico.

Como cuando fue en la Club PlayStation #24 que descubrí tanto el «Driver 2» como «Metal Slug», y a partir de ahí quise tener esos dos juegos (y así fue).

Translation:
Like when it was on Club PlayStation #24 that I discovered both "Driver 2" and "Metal Slug", and from then on I wanted to have both games (and so it was).

I have a couple of magazines similar to those inside a box. But I can't clearly remember if there's a Club Playstation's one in there. I am not in home right now, but when I get the chance, I'll take a shots of them and I will share with you guys.

I remember "Club Nintendo" in early 90's (1992 maybe)
And much later "Next Level".
But not this one :)

Tuve un número hace muchos años, recuerdo que la misma editorial sacaba la Pokèmon Collector y otras revistas de anime.

nice, I love to see old magazines get preserved, they're very often overlooked and unappreciated as something to be archived. So many just get thrown away, many rare ones from all over the world. Its sad the Internet Archive had a great collection going but its been getting gutted as of the last few years because of greedy copyright trolls.
