Sony PlayStation 2 - Magazine Coverdisc Lists
From Redump Wiki
Sony PlayStation 2
Undumped Games & Demos: USA • PAL • Japan / Asia • Korea |
Official PlayStation 2 Magazine was released in the United States as well as many PAL territories with accompanying demo discs.
This list includes coverdiscs included with all official PlayStation 2 magazine coverdiscs. For unofficial PS2-centered magazines with coverdiscs, see Coverdisc List.
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 have different hashes [1].
- Serial numbers on the spines of some cases were sometimes 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.
The goals of this checklist:
- 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).
- 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.
- To be accurate. Please only add data to this list if it can be confirmed coming from regional original packaging AND disc label info.
Since many regions have different Demo# on the Packaging vs Disc Label, an important question when building this list may arise: How do I know a disc hasn't been mixed up with the packaging? Compare the what game demos are listed on the packaging with the contents of the disc. You cannot rely on numbering alone to match up Packaging Demo # with Disc Label Demo #.

Title changed from "PlayStation 2 Revista Oficial - España" to "PlayStation Revista Oficial - España" with Issue #75 (April 2007) [2][3]. The cover displayed the Sony PlayStation 3 console as the Spanish release happened the month before (March 2003). As well, the cover intended to show that the magazine would cover the whole Sony PlayStation ecosystem (PSP, PS2 and PS3). Finally, the magazine started to cost only "1'99 euros" instead of "6'00 euros", ending the release of PlayStation 2 demos.
Coverdisc case cover art had both magazine Issue "Nº" and Disc "Nº" printed on them (additionally disc labels had their own numbering system largely based on UK releases, as can be read in "Disc Label Title").
Coverdisc case cover art denoting Issue "Nº" and Disc "Nº" were in sync until Issues Nº67 and Nº68 came out (neither included a PS2 demo). Instead of including PS2 demos, both of these issues had DVD-Videos (Nª67 got Final Fantasy - The Spirit Within, Nº68 got Resident Evil 2 - Apocalypse). PlayStation 2 demo discs resumed with Issue Nº69, coverdisc case art denotes Issue Nº69 is paired with Disc Nº67.
The information on this list has been verified to make sure no mistakes were made, each coverdisc has been checked one by one. Mayuscule/minuscule font on Disc Label Title was written as it was displayed in the discs.
