    I've had a wee look around on the internet and most of the copies seem to be in the range of  £40. I was wondering if this is normal, since this is a year old game,  or is there somewhere where I can purchase it discounted? 
     
    Thanks in advance

    I can get it for 20$ at http://webhallen.com, I don't know if they ship to other countries though. It sounds expensive with £40 to me, but I guess considering it's a rare game and a very good one at that, coming across copies of it will be a bit more expensive than another game of the same age.

    You can get it around the £35 mark if you look on Amazon.co.uk.

    The last time I saw it (a month ago?) was in HMV for about £20 but I havent seen it the last few times ive been in. The only place that is likely to have it still, for me, is a store called Gforce but thats only in glasgow and I dont think is a "franchise".

    I bought it for £10 (I think. It was very cheap anyway) when it was on sale on amazon about a year ago. But the game is probably out of print now, and I'm guessing it's reasonably hard to come by, so the prices are being inflated.

    If you happen to live near either Wrexham or Woking you could get it from a cex store for £18. But those are the only locations they have it in stock (see here). And if not it may be worth regularly checking the website to see if it comes into stock nearer you.

    I picked it up from Game.co.uk quite cheap, like just over £12 odds a wee while back. No idea if they're still doing it for that price though. ShopToNet is also pretty good, I remember getting Persona 3 FES from them for around £15. Play.com and Amazon prices are...scary, I think I remember seeing persona 3 once for like £45. Bugger THAT!

    I bought it new from Gamestation when it first released. I understand the frustration for fellow Brits trying to get a hand on it now though - me and a friend have been trying to get a second copy for him for months now. I think he's given up and moved back to P3FES now.

    Bought it the week it was released from a GAME. The shop i went to (wandsworth, london) only had 5 copies. I'd imagine it only had a very very limited run over here...

    I can't believe I'm helping someone find this worthless shit, but I frequently see copies in GameStation.
