Atlus Cuts PSN Prices in Half


Grab Atlus games at 50% off until August.

Most gamers know Atlus best for bringing a whole slew of quirky, niche JRPGs stateside. From the demonic Persona series to the puzzling Catherine [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/editorials/reviews/9036-Catherine-Review], Atlus has delighted some with a taste for the weird, alienated others who prefer games on the easy side, and earned a lot of credit among the core gamer crowd for trying new things, even though they don't always work. If you missed some of Atlus's bigger titles the first time around, no need to worry: Atlus and PSN have you covered all through July. The "Half Off Just About Everything for Just About a Month" sale brings some of Atlus's biggest titles, including the PSP Persona games and Catherine down to just 50% of their former cost all month.

Only a few PS3 titles made the cut: Catherine, Trine 2, and Rock of Ages are the biggest draws, but Droplitz and The Cursed Crusade may pick up a few stragglers who missed them on the first pass. The PSP selection is much stronger, although it is almost entirely focused on RPGs. The first three Persona games range from $10 to $20, and the entire Dept. Heaven trilogy can be had for $5 to $7.50 per game.

You can peruse Persona 4 Golden [http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/07/03/today-50-off-atlus-games-in-the-hojaefjaam-psn-sale/] hits.

Sad thing is...I own pretty much all those games.

I don't buy digital if I can get a physical.

Hmm... might grab the three persona games. Never played any of them and heard nothing but good things about 3 and 4 at least. Though I never play my PSP anyways...

I was actually looking at the Persona 2 and 3 pack on the PSN store at $29.99 but only had $28.01 on my account (sadface) and thought I wouldn't be able to get them both but now with these deals, hells yas.

The first and second Persona games are almost completely different from 3 and 4. The first one especially hasn't held up very well so be careful before buying it, but definately get 3 and 4 if you can.

Hah! I knew if I was patient enough Atlus would have another of these sales. They usually have a 50% off sale around every year or so. Can finally get my hands on Persona 2.

Want to own it, and I've played it a bit before. But while it's good, it wasn't $30 good... $15 I can handle.

I've always wanted to play the persona games, but it seems there is no PS3 version... and that all the games exist solely on systems I don't own.

Might pick up the Persona titles.

For Haruhi's sake though Atlus, please release an English version of the Endless Frontier sequel. I love the gameplay but I love the dialogue and story too ;-;

In the 'PS2 Classics' section of PSN they have Persona 3:FES.

Did they cut the price of Persona 3:FES that's on the PS3 store? Because if so any of you who haven't played it and like RPGs should BUY IT NOW

Edit: Which ones of these are on the PS3 PSN, don't have a PSP/Vita, so these would only apply to that

Alas the problem is the fact that PSN games are already 3 times the price of the local store, so a 50% discount is pointless. I'm still better off wandering into town.

It's not like they're trying ram it down your throat.
I think you misunderstand me. I want Catherine, but I'm conflicted whether to buy it during the sale or $5 more expensive over eBay for a physical copy.

Fixed it for ya. Never feel bad that you can find better and more permanent a thing than what they're pushing out right now.

I don't think you understand...
I own almost EVERY Atlus game, released NTSC-U plus some PAL/NTSC-J imports, even re-releases.

Your grievance is based upon paying full price? Come on... That's no big deal.
