Yes, it was the April 2007 issue.

They stopped selling it awhile ago (this is really old stuff).

FYI: You need the "old" PS2 (not the slimline model they have been selling 
for the past year or two). And you also need the hard-drive attachment and 
network adaptor (these might be a problem to acquire - you could check 
eBay or look at the PS3 instead).

Probably that might be better since it comes with a hard-drive and network 
adapter. I think they have decided to stop selling the 20Gb models so 
maybe you can pick up one of those cheap?
