It looks like Persona 3 Portable is getting the full Limited Run treatment. Limited Run Games revealed today a handful of special physical editions for Persona 3 Portable. This includes the Persona 3 Portable S.E.E.S. Collector’s Edition. In between the standard and S.E.E.S. Editions is a Grimoire Edition as well. All three editions are available on all three platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Pre-orders for all versions will begin on September 29 at 10 a.m. ET via the Limited Run Games store.
Three Editions with different contents
The Standard Edition is priced at $34.99 and includes a region-free version of Persona 3 Portable.
The Grimoire Edition will set you back $69.99 but includes some cool physical goodies. Alongside the physical editions of the game for your chosen platform, you’ll also receive a Persona 3 Portable Slipcover that goes with a special edition Grimoire Book Box and a SteelBook case that has some very beautiful artwork on it.
Finally, there is the Collector’s S.E.E.S. Edition with a price point of $199.99. This edition, clearly intended for collectors and diehard Persona 3 fans includes everything from the Grimoire Edition as well as a red and black S.E.E.S. Armband, a cool school patch for Gekkoukan Private High School, 11 Character Trading Cards, the Persona 3 Portable official soundtrack, an All Out Attack 3D Shadow Box, and an individually numbered Certificate of Authenticity. But, that’s not everything. The big item in this collector’s edition is a 1:1 Evoker Replica Shadowbox that even lights up.
We do need to talk about the elephant in the room. With pre-orders going through November 12, these Editions certainly won’t ship out before the new Persona 3 Reload releases. While not quite as cool, it even has its own collector’s Aigis Edition. Even though we know Persona 3 Reload won’t feature content from FES or Portable, it does still seem a bit odd for this to be releasing when it is.
But, I have to admit, this is definitely one of the cooler collector’s editions I’ve seen in a while, and it’s nice to see the big item be based around such a staple item from the game. I can’t deny I’m tempted to spring for the Grimoire Edition at least.
