Despite the fact that Square-Enix has been my favorite publisher for a very long time, I am seriously starting to believe that Atlus is about to usurp them, if only for the incredible regard they show fo rtheir fans. Case in point: members of the Atlus Faithful email list (which I am a proud part of) just got an email announcing the reissue of Persona 2: Eternal Punishment for the PS1, along with a bonus CD, for $39.99.
All I can say is ... kickass! Head to Amazon and grab yours now if you've been waiting for a chance to own this early entry in the Persona series (Canadian customers can go to Amazon.ca for the same deal). The game ships November 19th, so if you're quick you can blast through it before Persona 4 comes out in December. All Shin Megami Tensei, all the time!

A compilation of SNES SMT, Persona 1 and 2 (ALL UNCUT) on PSP would be a great way to celebrate the series and give fans the full series.
DS is getting a sweet SMT game in 09, but the PSP badly needs a dose of SMT.
They seem to have a deal going with Amazon. They released the Persona 4 Social Link swag pack on Amazon, too.
I'm thinking it's because Atlus' strength is in its niche market, and Amazon/online retailers are the best way to take advantage of their limited production runs. Everyone who orders P4 via Amazon is guaranteed to get it, but a random copy sitting on a shelf in an out-of-the-way GameStop may never be sold.
I really want to get into this series of JRPG's, but it's kind of hard when I can't get my hands on any of the games! oh well, at least I have P4 pre-ordered already.
Easy to say, not so easy to monetize. Much as we love them, Atlus is a niche publisher. They can't afford to have the kinds of product overruns that most other publishers work with.
That's why they're making all these deals with Amazon. Amazon makes sure that the maximum amount of the supply can get to the demand, rather than sending X amount of copies to each store and hoping they get picked up.
MANY
GAMES!
Anyone who still prefers S-E over Atlus has no eye for quality.
*takes off games-are-art asshole hat*
I'm so glad I got my copy of this wayyy back when they reprinted it the first time. None of this hassle, all of the quality.
And yeah, Atlus has a deal going with Amazon. Atlus made Amazon their official online store after the one they had been running on their website turned out to be not profitable enough. That's why Amazon gets so many deals these days, like the special Izuna 2 posters and the P4 expansion pack that unangbangkay mentioned
I am sure they could get this up and running and sold on PSN for PS3/PSP support. I would snap it up in an instant.
I'm always a day late and a dollar short on the persona series =(.
Oh well, back to eBay.
I rise from my same of losing my copy in the move
but alas I am born again because of this deal
This game was awesome, great graphics for the ps1 and really dark...kinds freaked me out a little ha ha. Did the original come with a bonus disc? I thought I remember there being one in mine...correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember watching some extra AMVs, unless they were on one of the game discs.
Hope you are listening Atlus, because I really favour you guys over SE, who've lost their heads these days. I'd happily support more good Atlus product.
