I thank Vinny and Jeff for showing me a game that I would have never given a chance before, with it being on the Playstation 2 and heaped in intimidating Japaneseness. The Endurance Run is brilliant, and it looks like my kinda game, and after reading a few reviews of it today, I've decided I'll be buying this tomorrow - the day it's released in Europe. For £17, I can't really pass on it.

Pre-ordered from play with the cd and t-shirt. Just hope it arrives tomorrow as the endurance runs have got me all excited about it.

Play pre-orders comes with the T-Shirt? I thought it was only the Soundtrack? Anyway, I have it pre-ordered (Play) but it's not been dispatched yet. Looks like I'll be left waiting. :-(

Ha persona 3 is actually more expensive as persona 4.

I'm buying a ps2 because of Persona 4 and the endurance run

I would have bought it, if I had a PS2. The game looks awesome.

Hell yes! But it probably won't be the same experience without Jeff loudly moaning about the game...

Also pre-ordered mine at Play and should hopefully be arriving tomorrow. Keep your eyes open for Funky Student!

My PS3 isn't backwards compatible.  That means I'll either have to play it downstairs, bring my PS2 to my room or play it on my brothers backwards compatible PS3.  Complete chore, but the game is £15 on www.shopto.net, so it's probably worth the effort I guess.

Came through the post today. Got it from Play.com (mainly because of the free T-shirt) I'm disappointed it never came with the shirt though.

You got it from Play?

Lucky, mine hasn't shown up... UGH.

I had no intention of buying it whatsoever, heard about Persona 3 on the old 1upYours podcasts when I used to listen and was slightly intrigued, then hear a bit more 4 recently, started seeing the name pop up when I'd come on this site, watched one of the endurance run vids, all the time it has been worming its way into my consciousness, until today I snapped and ended up placing the order on Shopto. Hopefully it will play OK on my 60gb PS3, although I'm aware of the save game glitches.

i went to game to get it and they didn't have it,

Well the Gamestation near where I live has sold out of Persona 4 copies. They had a massive 2 copies in at the start of the day. They should be getting more in tomorrow apparently, so going to call them up at 2 and hopefully I'll be picking up the game shortly after that. Fingers crossed.

Wait wait wait. You guys pre-ordered it and received it today? I pre-ordered from ShopTo and I got it 2 days early.

"You got it from Play?Lucky, mine hasn't shown up... UGH."

I got mine today, and for anyone wondering if their launch EU PS3 plays it, it seems it does. Though the bottom left hand corner doesnt display your location, bizarrely. I mean it's just text, right?
 I  hadn't heard about the save glitches, so I've literally just made another internal card to save to just in case. Backwards Compat y'all, it's risky business.

So after a 2 hour trip to the next Gamestation near me -the closest one still doesn't have any copies- I have Persona 4. Should start playing it shortly. Happy days.
