Several issues showed how a game was created from basic design to final product. Since the CDs could only be run on a PlayStation, it proved a useful marketing tool which spawned a line of <i>PlayStation Underground JamPacks</i> Demo CDs and which contained highlights from recent issues of <i>PlayStation Underground</i>, along with seemingly as many game demos that could be packed on a single CD. Unlike <i>PlayStation Underground</i> these were available in most stores for $4.95, were published twice a year in Summer and Winter and usually spotlighted newly released or coming soon games. By 2001, Sony had decided to phase out <i>Underground</i> to focus on the <i>JamPacks</i> with the release of the PlayStation 2. <i>PlayStation Underground</i> CDs are mainly in the hands of collectors these days.<sup id="cite_ref-187" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-187"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>187<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Marketing">Marketing</h2></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:PlayStation_E3_2003.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/PlayStation_E3_2003.jpg/220px-PlayStation_E3_2003.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/PlayStation_E3_2003.jpg/330px-PlayStation_E3_2003.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/07/PlayStation_E3_2003.jpg/440px-PlayStation_E3_2003.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1280" data-file-height="960" /></a><figcaption>Promotion of the PlayStation at the <a href="/wiki/Electronic_Entertainment_Expo" class="mw-redirect" title="Electronic Entertainment Expo">Electronic Entertainment Expo</a> 2003</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:PlayStation_booth,_Tokyo_Game_Show_20090926.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/PlayStation_booth%2C_Tokyo_Game_Show_20090926.jpg/220px-PlayStation_booth%2C_Tokyo_Game_Show_20090926.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/PlayStation_booth%2C_Tokyo_Game_Show_20090926.jpg/330px-PlayStation_booth%2C_Tokyo_Game_Show_20090926.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/PlayStation_booth%2C_Tokyo_Game_Show_20090926.jpg/440px-PlayStation_booth%2C_Tokyo_Game_Show_20090926.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3648" data-file-height="2736" /></a><figcaption>PlayStation booth at the <a href="/wiki/Tokyo_Game_Show" title="Tokyo Game Show">Tokyo Game Show</a> 2009</figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Slogans">Slogans</h3></div> <p>Advertising slogans used for each PlayStation console iteration: </p> <dl><dt>PlayStation</dt></dl> <ul><li>"<span style="color: red;">e</span>NoS Lives" (The first letter 'E' was printed in red to denote the word, <i>ready</i>. <i>Enos</i> stood for <i>Ready, Ninth of September</i>)<sup id="cite_ref-History_23-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-History-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> (US Commercials)</li> <li>"U R Not <span style="color: red;">e</span>" (The letter 'E' was printed in red to denote the word, <i>ready</i>, as in <i>You Are Not Ready</i>)<sup id="cite_ref-History_23-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-History-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></li> <li>"Do Not Underestimate The Power of PlayStation."
