Jesus fucking christ, why is Persona 3 FES so fucking expensive in Europe?

I feel you, yurobro. I won't tell you to pirate and emulate because I myself like to have physical copies of my games. Most Atlus games cost ridiculously much here.

Worst thing is, Europe even got shittier version of P4 with a terrible refresh rate, despite it being a PS2 game, which of course COULD run 60Hz. I don't know how P3 or FES compare, I bought the game for PSP, at least that runs the way it's supposed to.

I know some Sup Forumsermins will gang up to hound me, but I feel you, OP. I feel you.

I'm glad I modified my ps2 back in the days to remove the region lock

i bought a sealed copy for 8 bux at a store in my country a couple of weeks ago

You guys did get a few games that never made it to NA like Maken Shao and Gregory Horror Show.

I'll modifty or use swapmagic to play region free games and grab a copy of the US version.

Pirated games don't count Dmitri

I own the physical EU version and literally can't tell a difference between the emulated game. In fact, the when emulated the game has the advantage of not being locked to 50fps. That's it.

Buy the UK version, I got one last year for like £15

A better question is where the fuck are all of the physical copies of SMT IV Apocalypse? The game's not even three months old yet and it's been out of stock since last month.

Which totally makes up for not getting Strange Journey and the original EO2 and 3.

At least there was no regionlock for those, it was a hell of a wait to get SMTIV over here.

Europe hates JRPGs
Atlus hates Europe even more

What's their fucking problem?

Speaking of Atlus and Europe, what the fuck is Sega of Europe doing? Shouldn't they be publishing their games here instead of Deep Silver?

Thank god they are actually releasing Persona 5 here

NTSC here. What are some other expensive PAL versions of games? All I can think of is Fire Pro Wrestling Returns

I was so excited when Sega took over Atlus since Sega EU are fairly competent as publishers. But then they had to go and fuck it up by not doing things the obvious way and shitting the games out to some literally who publisher. Oh well, at least we're finally free from fucking Ghostlight.

>PAL
disgusting

Why do US box arts always suck?

Yeah I know, we had to put up with that shit for decades. I'm so glad digital TVs created an international standard and got rid of that crap.

Nonsensical focus groups and target demographic research etc. Basically they do everything to be as un-artistic as possible.

Can someone post that comparison of american and japanese kirby game covers, where the american ones make kirby look like a killer.

...

You could get new sealed EU copies for £20 around the time Persona 4 Golden came out but they shot up in price shortly after

Deep Silver are the European publishers. And if SMT IV Apocalipse is any indication this will happen again.

remember when they ported devil survivor overclocked to europe? They used the NA translation but needed several months and somehow imtroduced horrible glitched

...

Ghostlight - the name you can trust.

Unironically it's not fucking fair.

All versions: Fucking free because who on earth doesn't have freemcboot by now

many ps2 models dont allow freemcboot.

Good thing I have it preordered.

I think Persona 5 is more important to them desu, they'll have more copies due to demand.

£40 second hand in the UK if you are willing to brave CEX.

Also try sorting cex prices as highest first if you want to see some shit.
