History
The magazine was conceived by TP Media. Ireland's large PlayStation adoption rate and the greatly increased prices of imported UK publications at the time were contributing factors in launching such a magazine. The Official UK PlayStation Magazine published by Future Publishing could cost up to £9.99 IEP due to Irish import fees.
OIPM launched for £4.99 with a demo disc.
