Sony PlayStation 2 - Magazine Coverdisc Lists

From Redump Wiki

Official PlayStation 2 Magazine was released in the United States as well as many PAL territories with accompanying demo discs. All of the USA discs are dumped, so this list is only related to PAL OPS2M demos.

The PAL territory releases are particularly confusing for several reasons:

• Discs were often re-released in different regions.
• Discs were sometimes unique to different regions.
• Discs were often released with a different Issue number on packaging versus disc label. This occurred because UK discs were often repackaged to other PAL regions which followed a different numbering system.
• Usually serial numbers can differentiate whether a disc from one region will match a disc from another region. However in some instances, the same serial number from different regional OPS2M variants does NOT match.
• Serial numbers on the spines of some cases were not updated between issues, leaving an incorrect serial number on the spine (versus the disc), often repeating spine serial numbers across Issues. This phenomenon was noticed in Australia, but may extend to other regions.

How to determine how a Redump entry should be named:

• UK acts as the "master" title for two reasons. English is preferential as a lingua franca, and UK got first release of discs. As a result of this latter point, in UK Case and Disc labels always match with issue numbering (creating the most accurate and intuitive naming convention).
• If a dump from somewhere other than UK does NOT match the UK entry, then the numbering system of the magazine should be used. For example, if the case packaging has one Issue number, and the disc has a different number in the title, then use the case Issue number. The reason this mismatch might occur is if a disc from UK was brought over to a PAL region, modified, but kept the old disc label title.

The goals of this checklist:

1. Dump all unique serial numbers. They will all be unique dumps. Serial number extensions (example: SCED-12345-ANZ) are NOT likely to differ from their non-extended counterparts (SCED-12345).
2. Confirm regional variants with entries of matching serial numbers. For any regional variant verifications, please add the regional details to the master entry which is being verified.
3. We wish to remain accurate. Please only add data to this list if it can be confirmed coming from regional original packaging AND disc label info.
