Its better than nothing.

 

[Viola of the Abyss]

I don't think Best Buy has digital codes anymore though, Amazon does however

The PSN cards that they have are not the same?

 

[kurahador]

Sigh...How much are we missing out by not getting the psp version?

 

[graywolf323]

those are physical cards they have to mail you

slightly improved graphics, added scenario involving Tatsuya and remixed music I believe

 

[Acosta]

YES!!!! THANK YOU ATLUS!!!!

Which they won't because they do not ship internationally... :/

At this point I'm thinking if I should just buy and play the Japanese PSP version.
I should be autonomous enough with the language to play through it and there's plenty of resources available if I get stuck with the story.

Buying this seems to be troublesome.
Importing a PS1 US disc is going to be expensive and troublesome...

Only good side is that I'm too busy to play it now, so I have lots of time to decide...

see my edit about how Amazon sells digital codes and it works for international customers

 

[Omikaru]

Just came across this thread. Should be useful for any EU users.

That's good to see. I was wondering how I was going to dodge Play-Asia's inflated prices. $20 for me; I'll pick up P3 FES too.

 

[Dantis]

Just tried it on Amazon. Not actually gone through wih the order, but it looks like it all works.

$20 for Persona 2. What a rip. >_______>

I agree.
Is there anything else worth buying for $10 that's exclusive to US PSN?

 

[Dantis]

I'm probably going to get Breath of Fire 4. I have it on disc, but you know, convenience.

 

[Cheska]

Looks like that free $10 credit came just in time

 

[Jucksalbe]

There are some other PSOne Classics. I think Chrono Cross is $9.99.

 

[TheSeks]

There’s good news and bad news about that. The bad news is that unusual circumstances have prevented us from localizing Eternal Punishment PSP the way we’d have liked to, but the good news is that you can still find out how the story of Tatsuya Suou, Maya Amano, and the Joker curse ends!

That isn't a reason, Nich.

I'm still angry EP PSP isn't being localized. I thought we were getting an actual explination, Nich! *turns into the Hulk and hulk smashes Atlus Japan* >:|

 

[ramoisdead]

Only game I can think of at the moment is Vanguard Bandits, a PS One classic. It's $9.99 and I don't see any sign of it on the EU Playstation Store.

 

[TheSeks]

Why exactly couldn't they just release this for EU PSN as well? What is stopping them?
I don't have a US account and am not planning on making one any time soon, so I'm apparently screwed.

Atlus has no EU branch, and I dunno who (if anyone) released it in EU. They have to get that publisher to okay it to release it on PSN.

Licenses issues and all that stuff.

Nich said to Dantis that he'd bring it up at a meeting, or something.

It'll take some time, however. The game has never come out on this side of the pond, so it'll need to be rated by PEGI and then sent to SCEE for certification, or whatever it is they do to get import PSone games onto the store. This all relies on them actually going ahead with it, mind. Atlus USA have published games here before, and P2: EP is a perfect candidate since this version is DD only, but maybe they don't think the cost of cert and rating would be worth bringing it over.

It was never released in Europe.

I tweeted Nich a half hour ago to see if he ever asked about it. No reply as of yet.

 

[5amshift]

The actual copy of the game better decrease in value, I still need it for my collection..

It probably will somewhat, it's still pretty hard to come by though.

 

[cjkeats]

Didn't it get reprinted out of nowhere a few years back for a limited run?

 

[cafemomo]

How large is the game?

Hopefully less than 500MB I hope. I'm running out of space on my memory card.

I paid $50 for it when it came out. I consider that a bargain.

 

[Eusis]

Yeah, which is why the "now you don't have to pay hundreds" is a bit of an exaggeration, even now you can get a used copy on Amazon... for significantly more than a new current gen AAA game. Though even at that time I think the reprint was pricey, so you had a relatively small window to get the game at an affordable price for new.

On that note, I wonder if they included that bonus CD as disc 2? That'd have been nice, just to see the mock IS anime trailer and the interview.

Got it as a late Christmas gift (owing to delays, would've been just a Christmas gift otherwise), though I did find a used copy for $40 to get as a gift a few years back.

72 bucks is still too much for a game that came out in 2000.

So is this one "so easy it turns what could possibly be a good game into one of the most boring, painful experiences I've had with an rpg in a long time" the same way Innocent Sin is? Or is this one an actual video game?

 

[ramoisdead]

Yes it did. It was $40 for the reprint through Amazon. It was done to promote the upcoming release of Persona 4 for the PS2. After a couple of hours, I believe it was sold out. I was grateful I made the checkout during my break at work that day.

 

[Varna]

P2:EP is probably the most difficult game in the series (not saying too much, but still!).

This is good. Better then nothing at the very least. This game won't have honorifics which is a huge plus (if Soul Hackers has them... I don't know what I will do).

 

[Zippedpinhead]

It was also reprinted a few years before hand, about the same time rhapsody: a musical adventure got reprinted. I picked up my copy at GameStop, $40 well spent. $10 for it digitally and on the go is a pretty good deal

It's damn hard.

That's what I wanted to hear
