I liked Persona 4, but to pay this much for a four year old game! LINKTACULAR!!!
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
Game » consists of 4 releases. Released Jul 13, 2006
Persona 3 is the fourth main entry in the Persona series. Introducing the "Social Link" system and removing several Shin Megami Tensei staples including the post-apocalyptic setting, Persona 3 greatly expanded the popularity of the series, particularly in the west. It also established the balance of traditional role-playing combat and social simulation that would define the series going forward.
Look at the price for Persona 3!
That doesn't seem right at all. Huh. I know you can get P4 for about 20 Euro in GameStop but P3FES is sitting at a moderate 30 Euro price tag. For PS2 games that's a little high but it IS a Persona game.
Check Ebay for older games, there's plenty of independent stores that sell through there with good prices on older games. I got my copy of Persona 3 for about £15, it was the version with the soundtrack and artbook as to boot.
Amazon.com has been doing some crazy pricing for games lately. I posted about it in my LiveJournal, but really all you need to look at is the "Ships from and sold by Hitgaming Video Games." The games being sold directly from Amazon seem fine in price, but eventually they run out of copies (?) and start selling from this other company, whose prices are ridiculous. Before this, I relyed on Amazon as being my back-up if I couldn't find a game I wanted in my nearby stores, so this is pretty disappointing. But there are other ways of getting games, so try ebay or some of the other sellers on Amazon. I bought my copy of Persona 3 FES for $30 new at my GameCrazy just a couple of weeks ago, so check stores too?
Atlus' games do seem to go way up in price as time goes on. My guess is it's because they do such limited runs of their games.
i find that old but excellent games that don't sell especially well get sold at stupid prices! for example intelligence qube for PS1 was selling for around 40-50£ on ebay and amazon.
" It is a pretty rare game, but it is amazon. Also funny that the superior FES is half as much down the page. "FES was less right out of the gate though, so that's no surprise. And now I guess people consider the original release a collector's edition or something.
People are crazy.
Found it used for $20 at a local shop. Now if only I could find a copy of Persona 4 for that much...
Gamestop (or that store that everyone hates) was selling P3FES for $15 new (though, it wasn't in stock for about a month) while other stores had it for about $25 used.
