(that's only half a joke. if I was an irresponsible billionaire funding a game company, I'd definitely spend money in order to have a high profile magazine talk at length about the problems of my product - the attention alone would be worth the test of "no such thing as bad publicity") as a somewhat more relevant aside - is there any chance you could spend a few minutes some time typing out what you know about Japanese game mag industry attitudes towards scans of their magazines being passed around on foreign sites? I think it was sometime in the past year, year and a half that posting scans got banned at NeoGAF and talked about at a few other places, but they are still common as dirt and I haven't seen much official mention of the subject.

That and it'd be too obvious if they did 6 straight pages on say a dog-raising DS game.
