Persona 3 Fes Re-Issue with Soundtrack & Artbook $19.99 on Amazon!

[Slim Gatsby]

I'm sure this is covered in the Amazon BF/CM deals thread, but since there's a reissue of a game involved at an insanely low price, I think its worthy of its own.

Amazon.com now has Persona 3 Fes with artbook and soundtrack for $19.95. As many of you know, P3 was originally $49.99 and included an artbook and sountrack, and was re-released as P3: Fes as a standalone enhanced edition sans extras for $29.99.

Release date on this re-re-issue is Nov. 28th, 2008 and has an MSRP of $49.99, but for the BF/CM weekend it started at $30 and has now dropped to about $20. I have no idea if this is extremely limited or not, or if its a new book/soundtrack for Fes or a reissue of the original P3 one, but P3 has made me into an Atlus whore so I already ordered one just to find out.

On a related note, there's also a huge Persona 4 artbook up for pre-order at $29.99:

and everyone thought that a sealed copy of P3 would worth something.

It's like playing the stock market. Look at FF7 and its' sealed copies.

Except no one brought a copy at launch thinking it was going to be rare while a lot of people were buying P3 because it might be rare in the future.

[Ryuukishi]

Ordered this, even though I already have FES plus a still-sealed copy of the original Persona 3 release with the extras. Now I figure I need to decide which one to keep sealed, the original set or the FES set. (That's presuming that this new bundle actually comes in a sealed larger box like the original, and the extras aren't just loose. Does anyone know?)

[GuardianE]

There was some speculation that this bundle might not even come with the extras and that it's a misprint. I don't know if we have confirmation one way or another, but I figure that someone on the forums should get their shipment today.

[jacknicklson]

I doubt it would be a misprint, they even have a picture of everything

Hold up, whats up with this:

1 copy left?!?

[jcwkings]

so is this worth getting just to make profit later?

[solarisv]

Just got my package today through prime and the artbook, game and cd is sealed together in a coverbox. Think ar tonelico.

Atlus really knows how to screw it's fans... I'm not talking about FES itself but those who paid $30 for FES, not to mention those who paid $50 for Persona 3.

I think I'm going to cancel my Persona 4 preorder. It'll just drop in price anyway and they'll probably give out the artbook and extras to anyone...

[solarisv]

only 3 left in stock

You can take some solace in knowing that the Atlus has officially said that there will be no extra version of Persona 4, but as for the price drop, that's bound to happen.

You're looking at the wrong listing. That's Persona 3, not Persona 3 FES. I can still order 999 of this bundle.

Well the listing that came with the cd and artbook. I tried to check out with 500 and it limited me to 3. Not that I was actually trying to buy 500, but just to see how many they had left.

edit: NM, I'm probly wrong. Its just limiting me because of the purchase quantity limit and most likely not how many they have left.

Use this link or the link in the OP, please.

Plenty of copies left. Comes with artbook and CD.

So is this a new box or FES inserted into the old P3 Box set?

Thanks for the info! Is the game case itself also sealed, or only the outer box? Also, do you know if there is any difference between the stand-alone FES game case and the game case that comes in this bundle?

[Rozz]

Now everyone can stop being mad at EA for constant re-releases. ;)

I've also got a sealed copy of FES that I bought on release day, but never got around to playing. I ended up biting on this when it was $30, because it was the only other thing I wanted and I needed something with the MGS Collection to get free shipping. Maybe I'll be able to give my standalone version to someone as a present.

The box itself is sealed

Amazon Visa gets you 3% back on Amazon purchases.

Its the old box with FES inserted. When I got the box I thought they shipped me the wrong game until I looked at the side.

[jacknicklson]

I really need to get on that once this wedding is paid for

[GuardianE]

I'll bet they just cannibalized old copies of Persona 3 that weren't selling and put FES into them.

No wonder they only have one (or three) copy of the original left.

Actually the original set has been completely sold out for a long time, since before FES even came out. I'm wondering where those 3 copies came from, maybe they found them hidden in some corner of the warehouse.
