Persona 3

This game looks very interesting. Is anyone going to get this, or has already played it?

I see you get an art book if you order from game, but is there a better package out there?

Re: Persona 3

I have this - playing it on the PS3.

I'm about 5 hours in so far, and it's very cool so far. A long intro section, interspersed with plenty of (often confusing) anime, but you slowly get introduced to what's going on, and the game proper kicks off.

I'd only read the (p)review on Eurogamer, and that seems pretty accurate to the experience. If it carries on in the same way for the rest of the game, I'd say it's definitely worth the asking price - assuming it's a style you like.

Michael.

Assuming u are using pal-60gb PS3. Are they any faults with the emulation of persona 3?
Any improvements graphically with smoothing/upscaling etc.
(usually problems with cut scenes)

Im undecided if I want to buy this game. I heard FES has just been annouced for US release...so maybe i'll hold off till a FES is out here.

Re: Persona 3

Original 60GB (now 250GB) PS3. Upscaling is on, and it looks pretty good, though I'm running on a Panny PW6, so only SD native downscaled from 720p.

No problems so far - the odd 'jitter' in cutscenes occasionally, but nothing that's made me think it's broken. *shrug*

Re: Persona 3

The US version that was released a while back is now almost impossible to find as they didn't make that many. They are actually rereleasing a new enhanced version with extra content over there in April. It's a pity the UK one doesn't have this extra content.

Re: Persona 3

Ok, what the heck does that little girl at the shrine want!? "Something round and hot and soft" is that a burger or a hot dog? I am yet to find anywhere that sells either.
