Limited Run Games is releasing physical copies of Persona 3 Portable for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. The preorder period goes from Sept. 29 to Nov. 12.
Each platform will have standard, Grimoire, and SEES Editions available for Persona 3 Portable. The standard version just includes a physical copy of the game and costs $35. The Grimoire Edition costs twice as much at $70 and contains a few extra items in addition to the physical copy of the game, such as a steelbook, a Grimoire Book Box, and a slipcover.
The SEES Edition is the most expensive and costs a whopping $200. It includes everything from the Grimoire Edition and even more goodies. It comes with a 1:1 Evoker Replica shadow box that lights up and another 3D shadow box that portrays Persona 3’s All Out Attack cut-in.
Time never waits. It delivers all equally to the same end...
