Title: Persona 3 UK lack of availability Post by: Ashura Dakana on March 24, 2008, 04:40:09 PM Hey
I didnt notice when it was first released, since i preordered my copy of persona 3 from Game (got the artbook ^_^), but ive noticed that no "mainstream" game store keep Persona 3 in stock. Ive looked in Game, Gamestation, HMV, and all the other places that games can be bought. We had both digital devil saga games in stores, Nocturne, and devil summoner, so why not persona 3? (and by the way, i just mean mainstream stores. im well aware that indipendant game stores stock it). What the hell is going on?????? are the game stores trying to keep this gem of a game from the english public?

and here it's really hard to get a copy of this game, especially that I don't live in UK! Luckily I've found an online shop where they had like 2 copies of Persona! Yay for me! :P Title: Re: Persona 3 UK lack of availability Post by: Claudio on March 25, 2008, 04:00:32 PM lol Vergil are you italian? anyway i find my copy because i searched myself at gamestop( the clerks denied that they recevied the game and actually didn't search it.)

Title: Re: Persona 3 UK lack of availability Post by: Lycanthroat on March 26, 2008, 01:50:03 PM I live in the UK but consider myself an import gamer - my friend bought it for me last year in September and I've not regretted it (NTSC games are superior in a few aspects although a little fuzzy sometimes). Thank eBay.
However, I've not seen P3 anywhere at all. Gamestation, Game, HMV, Zavvi (or Virgin or whatever it is), it's just nowhere to be seen. Is there a shortage or delay or something? It's getting a lot of media attention (EuroGamers gave it a whopping 9/10) but it's like it doesn't exist in retailers. Title: Re: Persona 3 UK lack of availability Post by: Ashura Dakana on March 27, 2008, 08:13:39 AM This is the big problem. its the first megaten game that was given a good place on websites (gamestation and game had it showing on the front page of their website. although avatar tuner 2 was also front page, it was near the bottom, while p3 was at the very top). It was also on the top games coming soon, something which no other megaten UK release has had. with all that, its just so stupid that its not out in shops. it cant be delivery, because i actually got my P3 copy on the thursday, a day before its official release.
Title: Re: Persona 3 UK lack of availability Post by: Lycanthroat on March 31, 2008, 07:14:19 PM It's prolly got something to do with the death of the PS2, the next-gens are taking over blah blah. There's now a tiny section for PS2 games in most shops I've been into with all the ugly PS3 and 360 games taking up most of the shelf space. It's such a shame.
I've seen Odin Sphere everywhere though *shrug* Title: Re: Persona 3 UK lack of availability Post by: traci on March 31, 2008, 07:28:23 PM I'm wondering if it has a higher demand than mainstream stores could've anticipated.
Also their is no death of the ps2 T_T Title: Re: Persona 3 UK lack of availability Post by: Lycanthroat on April 02, 2008, 07:34:26 PM You misunderstood my meaning.
Quote the death of the PS2, the next-gens are taking over blah blah I wasn't being serious : P I see what you mean about people saying the PS2 is dead though. It's outselling the PS3 (although I think that will come to an end soon) at the moment and has bucket loads of games I'd have over the massively disappointing catalogue of PS3 games. It's got, what, three RPGs and Devil May Cry? Plus, DMC is on a much cheaper console anyway. I've yet to play Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria, Odin Sphere and Rogue Galaxy. |
