P3P Collectors Edition coming to Europe

Ghostlight Bringing Persona 3 Portable Plus A Collector’s Edition To Europe

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable is coming to Europe care of Ghostlight. Atlus and Ghostlight have a long standing relationship that started with Shin Megami Tensei: Lucifer’s Call better known as Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne in North America.

A date has not been set for the PSP game, but whenever it hits stores fans will be able to buy a boxed collector’s edition. Ghostlight’s Digital Devil Saga 2 collector’s edition included a soundtrack CD and a bunch of art cards.

The announcement has a bit of insight to the publishing deal. While Ghostlight has long been rumored as the publisher of Persona 3 Portable (we even asked them, they denied it), the two companies were only in "early discussions" when Persona 3 Portable popped up on UK retailer Game.

Nice. I already own the NTSC game, but I may double-dip on this one for the CE.

Yes, +1 for Europe :banana:

Looking forward to this one, never though this would come here. Thanks for letting us know.

Yay for Europe!

Atlus USA usually puts together premium sets for NTSC, but since P3 was already released for the PlayStation 2 in a nice boxed set, they decided to release just a regular version of P3P here.

The only thing I get from the N. American P3P is a Iori Hat when you preorder. :(

[Mandingo]

lol, I thought the Iori hat was pretty cool, even though I never wear it. :lol:

Does this mean that Atlus will be publishing the game themselves in Europe, in which case we might get more Atlus games released instead of importing from NA.

[Mandingo]

I think Ghostlight is publishing this title in Europe.

[gurpswoo1]

Oh crap, I should really read the posts above more.

Saw the Atlus symbol on the front cover of the game so though they were directly publishing it.

Oh crap, I should really read the posts above more.

lol, happens to me all the time.

If not Ghostlight, I would imagine 505 Games would pick it up,a s they have published a lot of other Atlus games which we would otherwise not have had

I still haven't seen any evidence of this game surface on the usual UK retailer websites though - Is it getting a UK release, or just mainland Europe?

I have only seen the standard edition available - Or will the CE be the only edition available, like with many 2011 Square-Enix games at the moment?

[gurpswoo1]

Yes - Gemini your are correct, all the first edition will be the collector's editions. What they will be called is currently unknown, it may say limited or collector's edition on the box.

Ok, that's what I thought. I held off pre-ordering until I was 100% sure. Any news of a firm release date?

[gurpswoo1]

Sorry non that I know of, just speculation and rumours.
