This is the 100th issue for Playstation 2 UK official magazine. For this landmark cover, they chose Sonic...who is reading their magazine which has a cover that shows Sonic reading their magazine. It's like layers of reality...or something. A fun visual gimmick to use here, and great to see that they chose him for this special issue. Look at the note on the cover. "Congratulations on your 100th issue from Sonic Team"
