In case you needed another reason to be hyped up for the North American release of Persona 4 Golden, Atlus have some preorder bonuses in store for fans. They're including a free P4G-themed Vita skin with preorders of the game. It's designed by Dezaegg (who also made some P4G iPhone cases), and is identical to the one that was included with the deluxe edition of the game in Japan, even down to wording that says "Persona 4 The Golden" instead of the corrected English title.

The game will also come with a set of eight background wallpapers to match the skin, themed after each of the game's characters. Check out more details in the gallery. So far the skin is only available from Atlus' usual partners: Gamestop, EB Games Canada, and Amazon.

When it was first revealed for the Japanese release, I thought it looked really cool, what with the yellow and rainbows and the same pattern the kids have on their school uniform collars. A few folks said it looked "too chipper" for a murder mystery, but what's wrong with that? More games should be chipper. More rainbow, less rust and gunmetal.

ffffffffff is it okay to remove copy and paste?

Xeo

OH HELL YEAH!
Preordered this last month actually. Need me that Kanji wallpaper.

jebara

The Iphone case link is not working.

Anyway this looks great, its coming November right?

Dale North

no one got my Persona 4 Animation soundtrack joke? well, it wasn't that good anyway

Teffy

I'm sorry, I don't understand your question Dale. I got the P4A quote, but are you asking if the skin is removable? Yes, but not sure if you can re-place it later, Atlus said it "leaves no residue when removed", though.

@jebara

The link should be fixed now. Click away!

Nubbeth

This is great news, but I'm a little confused, I just checked Amazon and it says the release date is the 20th of November.
I always thought it was late October, did they delay the game?

MikeShadows

Try harder next time Dale.

Zonic505

@Nubbeth: Yes, they did, though I don't recall them ever stating Oct.

Sure hope Newegg has it, considering I ordered it w/ a $10 off pre-orders code.

Cool... too bad I have no interest whatsoever in persona games.

Gundy

I just got a little hard after reading this.

ModSquad

This is awesome. I thought that my Vita looked a little dark for its own good.

MrShine

Very cool, the only issue being I'm getting this on PSN since there is absolutely no reason for this to ever leave my Vita.

/sigh, oh well.

Hystzen

It be nice if UK had a release date......oh wait i forgot we still dont even have Persona4:Arena real release date. I just want to throw my money at Atlus but they never want it

"No Sticky Residue"

ZeniGeva

Eh, the picture is good enough to get the point across.

@Dale: I got up too late to laugh at the joke before you posted sadness of it failing. I thought it was brilliant.

Also, I've had this Pre-Ordered since June. YAY bonus.

psychojake

Well... I was gonna just get it on Digital Copy but this made me change my mind.

DV2FOX

No date for P4AR (and NOT P4Animation) nor P4G for Europe...i bet that they'll translate P4AR into spanish but NOT P4G just to TROLL on us the european users

Big fail from Atlus

TwinDad

So much want, for the iPhone case.

JPNags

I love Atlus for always making something special for a retail release of many of their titles. I wonder if those wallpapers will come with digital copies of the game too? Dale can you find out?!

janoDX

WANT A VITA NOW WITH THIS GAME...

the silent comentator

Why does this glorious edition have to be a Vita exclusive? I'd snatch it up any other way, but I'm not buying a handheld just to play one game.

BoomingEchoes

If the skin goes on easy, this is cool.. But I've tried full body skins like this for the vita and they're a nightmare to get on right.

ChronicusPr1me

I hate tun-based rpgs and this will not get persuade me to buy Persona 4 on the vita. But i do like the color scheme.

Fenrir151

Still no word on a UK release :( that case looks pretty snazzy.

Gwendolyn

I don't even have a vita and preordered. Now I need to be patient until a price drop happens.
