Importing Persona 4 to GB

Watching Giant Bombs feature on Persona 4 has sparked my interest in it, and I'm looking into purchasing the game. But due to having a Ps3 from America and living in Britain  has presented the issue of having to import this from the US as the ps2 player is region encoded. So i could use some recommendations on appropriate online stores if anyone has them..

Thanks

Ehhh i might be wrong here but if i remember correctly Persona 4 does not work on a PS3.

Even for backwards compatable ones?  I thought that was supposed to be hardware based backwards compatibility so anything should work regardless."

Persona 4 works fine on my software BC 80GB PS3. There is a bug where the area label is missing in the lower left corner of the screen, but the game plays great otherwise.

Also, as with any PS2 game on the PS3, make sure you've got backups of your save files. You wouldn't want to lose your progress due to accidental save data corruption.

thanks for all the info, the problem with Play - Asia is I cant see a US region encoded persona just japan encoded

It does work on the BC 80GB PS3s...I know because my friend has one and the game and it worked for him.
