SCEA and the Ziff Davis Game Group have announced plans to discontinue the Official U.S PlayStation Magazine (OPM) in North America.

Production of the title will cease after the release of the January 2007 issue.

The networking and web capabilities of the PlayStation 3 are to blame for the decision, with a key element of the OPM being a disc bundled with each issue.

"A key element of the OPM magazine was the playable PlayStation disc packed in with every magazine. With the launch of the PLAYSTATION(R)3 (PS3(TM)) computer entertainment system and its full network and Web capabilities, we are focused on delivering content via the PlayStation Network and PlayStation.com website, not discs," said Peter Dille, senior vice president of marketing, SCEA.
