Ah, Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga. Produced back in the pre-Persona craze days, when Atlus USA could only afford to do one print run of any given series (a rep they still hold today, though to a much lesser degree), Atlus' PS2-bound Hindu-reference paradise was the one to hold onto, especially the second installment, Digital Devil Saga 2. Prior to a reprint, copies of that game were going for more than $100 on eBay and Amazon. Now that age is over, for Europeans at least.
Ghostlight - the UK-based publisher of most games that Atlus, XSEED and Aksys usually handle in the New World - will be releasing both Digital Devil Saga games on the PlayStation Store "in the near future". Whenever that near future happens, anyone with a European PSN/SEN account and access to appropriate monies will be able to download some digitally-delivered devilry. Note, this is merely a rerelease, and not some HD remake.
There's no word as to whether this will happen for North America, though. If it does happen, maybe they should consider rereleasing Devil Summoner next. $90 for a PS2 game?! Pffft!

More like pre-Persona 3 and 4, since the first one was released in 1996 on the PlayStation. Get your facts straight.
And what do you mean back in the pre persona days?
radiant historia was just 100 bucks last week
I think that's what he means. DDS was before the whole Persona craze. After 3 & 4 came out the rest of the SMT series has basically been overshadowed.
DDS isn't really expensive though, but this is great news. Can't wait to see them on PSN, if they come to PSN in the US that is.
though i already bought the PS2 games in black label and new condition :)
it's still available here in Amazon US for 24$ :P

already at the end, guess i'll finish it now just to see the ending(doing the secret boss fights for now)
though i would like to have Shin Megami Tensei 3 Nocurne Maniax Edition(the one that comes with the Limited Edition of Devil Summoner 2) with a new 7th ending, and raidou replacing dante.

it's the only SMT i haven't gotten yet(plus it was not released in the US/EU)
also reprint Devil Summoner 1 please!!!!!!
i would like Atlus to release collection of all their ps2 SMT titles or at least put them on PSN/XBLA - it's cheap to port them over and there are loads of people who would buy them.
While I finally got physical copies for DDS I&II at least it's good that there's now a digital version of it somewhere. Maybe Atlus will put Persona 2 EP out instead of just wasting time and resources doing a port (not that I care I already own it). Oh yeah, and I never owned a Dreamcast, and digital version of Maken X would be nice.
Also, as much as I liked these two games, I could never play the again because the first game ended with an insane encounter rate and DDS2 picked right up where that left off.
There's also that problem where PS2 Classics look like blurry ass at 720p. DDS should not be made ugly.
We have Maniax edition already, you're talking about Maniax Chronicle, and there is no special 7th ending with that one. Raidou has Pierce though, which makes him superior to Dante.
Yes, I know this is an old thread but I had to comment about that.
