Persona launching on PSN and UMD simultaneously

by Ravi Lakhani - August 6th, 2009

Atlus' Shin Megami Tensei: Persona is a PlayStation Portable exclusive remake of Revelations: Persona - the first title in the developer's role playing series on the PlayStation. The game is set for release on September 22nd, just over a week before the October 1st launch of the PSP Go, and will be available on both UMD and digital download via the PlayStation Network simultaneously. The synchronised launch goes against Sony's previous statement that dual releases like this were disallowed until October 1st. And as both methods of acquiring the game will cost exactly the same price, and only the UMD version includes a bonus soundtrack CD, you'll obviously get more bang for your buck getting Persona from the store.
