Atlus has sent word that they have a new ship date for Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3. That new ship date is August 14th. The reason the title is coming out at that date instead of the previous July 24th is due to a problem with the artbook that is being included with this collector’s edition only title. The issue was brought to their attention just days before the title was due to ship. The game will include a soundtrack, art book and special case. Considering how fun the title is (reviewing Persona 3 has made me put down the final review code for Blue Dragon…think about that for a moment…) we can certainly commend Atlus on the decision to hold off on shipping the title while the new art books are manufactured. Look for a review of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 here soon.
