7th December 2006 Imagine unveils Next3 website Bournemouth-based publisher expands web presence with new launch
Today, Imagine Publishing announced the launch of a new website www.next3.co.uk. The
website is designed to support Imagine’s Next3 magazine, the UK’s only magazine entirely
dedicated to PlayStation 3, by offering readers free downloadable content.
The website features high-res screenshots, game trailers and high-definition in-game
Playstation 3 game footage captured by the team, enabling readers to see what the
games look like when they’re actually being played. Other video features accessible include
developer interviews and ‘making ofs’.
There is also a photos section and a monthly blog, which offers the readers a unique
insight into both the games industry and the making of a monthly magazine. Readers are
also able to download free bonus content for both their Playstation 3s and their PCs in the
form of PS3 game saves and wallpapers.
In addition, www.next3.co.uk incorporates a fully functioning forum enabling readers to
discuss the latest gaming events and talk directly to the Next3 editorial team.
“This website is an example of how Imagine Publishing is committed to bringing its readers
the best possible gaming coverage,” said Nick Jones, Editor in Chief.
“There’s no question that the internet has had an impact on magazines in recent years,”
said Jones, “yet websites also have their disadvantages over print media. Now we can
offer our readers the best of both worlds: high-quality editorial and magazine flickability
with the immediacy of information and new media and reader community that the internet
offers, all under one brand banner.
Next3 is published by Imagine Publishing, the UK’s fastest growing consumer specialist
publisher, with a portfolio of 20 magazines and 15 websites across three key markets:
videogames, photography and computing.
Imagine is a creative ideas-driven
magazine publisher, where quality, excellence and innovation
are paramount. Our portfolio is ideally suited for licensing
to overseas territories. Contact us now to discuss ways
of working with us in the future.
