GameStop for P3. Amazon for FES.
Amazon? I've managed to see FES at Wal-Mart. That game is really widely available; I can't imagine why people are having trouble finding it. Best Buy, GameStop, all of these places have it for 30 bucks.

With Amazon, it qualifies for free shipping, and you don't have to pay tax. Also, if you've been on the Atlus e-mail newsletter for a while, they sent out a $5 Amazon coupon a few months ago.

I am aware that it is available at Amazon, but you shouldn't have to resort to that when you can literally go to nearly any shop that sells video games and find it.

Who said that I resorted to that? Atlus has a deal with Amazon where they get a larger cut. That's why I got it through Amazon.

I never bought P3, since it was sold used for like 50 bucks. :shock: A week later, P3 FES was released and was sold for new, just 30 bucks. Jeez..

Does amazon give ATLUS monies for anything I buy through their site, if I follow the ATLUS link to amazon?
If so, I will use it as a general launch pad into all the stuff I buy from amazon.

I bought FES from Fry's since they had a deal and it was only $25. I usually buy my other games from Amazon though unless I really want it right away. Can't beat free shipping and no tax, and I also get points for my Amazon card.

You are very lucky to be in the United States ... In my city you could only get the game from one official dealer and 3 or 4 dealers in the black market :(
One week after the release of P3 the game costed $750 pesos ... (75 usd) ... and the cheapest P3 you could find was $ 600 pesos but it was pretty common to buy it at $850 pesos :(
Even if Monterrey is the second largest city in Mexico we are waiting for decent game distibution in our country.
Sometimes is easier for me to drive 2 hours to Mc Allen or Laredo in Texas to buy games :D

I was afraid it'd sell out and/or be uber rare, so I preordered it at Gamestop.
Then that Gamestop ended up having like five copies on the shelf for the next several months. Not that I'm complaining, $30 for a Super Awesome game like FES is good no matter how you slice it.

I purchased it only a couple of weeks ago off of Amazon after receiving a couple of valuable coupons from another purchase. I really lucked out as I got Persona 3 FES for ~ $18 and pre-ordered Persona 4 for only $14.99 after redeeming the more valuable of the two!
I've been itching to try the Persona series for a good while, and given the price after redeeming the coupons, I couldn't pass it up the chance to finally do so. I fired Persona 3 up for the first time tonight (after finals finally ended) and played for about 2 hours. I can tell I'm in for good times! My only problem now will be the urge to pop in Persona 4 when it arrives, but I'm going to try and do my best to enjoy P3 first.

I got my copy of Persona 3 FES at my local GameStop on the last day of my Summer break.
I got P4 at that same store.
If you're looking for the game, I'd suggest like, eBay or something if it's not in stores.

I bought both copies at GameStop.
On my recent trip to GameCrazy (look in general discussion), I came across a new copy of P3, not Fes. It was priced at 29.99. I was tempted to purchase it and keep it as a collector's item and eventually resell it on eBay, but decided against it.

I picked mine up on launchday at Gamestop (the original CE edition that is) I still haven't gotten a chance to pick up FES, and I just got the chance to start the version I have. Shows how much time I have to game nowadays :frown:

I was working at a GameStop during P3's initial release so I reserved a copy for myself.
For P4, however, I got it off Amazon.

Got Persona 3 around when it first came out at Gamestop. I knew nothing of SMT or Persona 3 nor even heard about it. I then just read an article about it in a magazine and became instantly interested. It was a good thing it happened when the game came out too.
P3:FES I picked that up at Gamestop and I still see new copies in stock. P4 I pre-ordered at Gamestop also, mostly for the artbook.
daemons8
01-15-2009, 03:55 PM
FUTURE SHOP!!! Last copy was just sitting there (FES). At Christmas time, did you check amazon.com? they were selling P3 FES for $30-$40? with the soundtrack and artbook.

This basically, they said fes wasn't in the computer when i went to reserve it, so i got it off amazon and didn't look back.
Marnic
01-24-2009, 03:34 PM
not sure where you live, but the internet is always the best solution.
Just check some video game store on the net and they'll be sure to have it.
Walked into Gamestop back in June and inquired about it. They had the disc in the back room, but the empty case was on display. Hell, I still saw a copy of FES NEW a week ago at my local Gamestop.

Amazon doesn't deliver to my country anymore. :( So I ended up ordering my copy of P3FES through cduniverse.
I was luckier with P4, though, since one of my friends came to visit from the USA and bought a copy for me.

Preordered SMT: DDS, SMT: DDS2, SMT: P3, SMT: P3: FES, and SMT: P4 from Gamestop. I had the "couldn't find it in the system" issue as well because they were looking for Persona instead of Shin...

It was great getting my copy. As I live in Europe, we got it a whole year later than you Americans :( So, I was excited when I heard a release date for it here. The release day, a friend and I searched a thousand stores to secure our copies, but no one had ever heard of it. And said they couldn't find it in their future release lists either...
So I found it on a British site, play.com, and was thrilled that I finally found a copy. I waited one week for it to arrive... It was a great saturday. I remember how I found it laying on the table in the hallway after I woke up.
Some weeks later, me and some friends were browsing this game store, then we suddenly found ONE copy of Persona 3 hidden between some PS2 games. Even though we had asked there earlier if they would ever get it. I laughed.

24.99!!! lucky mine was like 30 or 50 cant remeber hehe anyways to the persona who made this thread it is VERY hard to find either copies i got mine aty EB games and there was only one in...try ebay thats the only place i think you could actually find it without a hastle...

P3 @ Amazon.com
P3F @ GameStop
P3F is the last game I ever pre-ordered from GameStop. I see no point in using them when I typically save several dollars buying at Amazon, plus Atlus gets a bigger cut. I live in a small town, so no other retailers generally carry Atlus stuff.

Man, try finding a disc only copy in good condition. Seems every freaking copy is sealed no matter where I go. I don't want to shell out an extra $10 for stuff I don't need. >> My old PS2 destroyed my FES disc. ;__; I don't really care as much, but my gf loves the game so, it kinda sucks. ><; I guess I'll go get the copy at Gamestop thats been sitting there for 6 months. lol
