"Conflicts of interest"

"Reviews by 'official' console magazines such as Nintendo Power, Official PlayStation Magazine or the Official Xbox Magazine, all of which have direct financial ties to their respective platform holders, usually find themselves in similar positions."

These three magazines, all of which are published by Future US, do not have any financial ties to speak of other than NP, PTOM and OXM paying their respective companies for the right to say that they're the "official" magazines, and OXM and PTOM for the disc-licensing fee for the packed-in disc. They are never under any circumstances paid by Sony, Microsoft or Nintendo. Aeshir Aurion (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 02:32, 1 August 2010‎ (UTC)[reply]
