[5] On 13 August 2009, Future Publishing announced it was to close the PSW magazine, citing "decreasing demand" as the reason for the publication's closure.

[6] PSW also included a DVD; showing clips, trailers, reviews and previews of the latest games.

The DVD menu was based upon Sony's XMB (Xross Media Bar).

This DVD later became relatively infamous after it was discovered a trailer for Tetsuo: The Iron Man was accidentally hidden on several discs.

In February 2011, a new PlayStation World was launched (commonly abbreviated PSW) and has a YouTube channel named 1playstationworld.
