The Musings of Aram Jabbari | Manager of Public Relations and Sales at ATLUS USA
What better way to celebrate the expanded and enhanced version of one of our best games of all time–not to mention Japan’s best-selling PS Vita game of all time more than twice over–than a premium edition packed with rare extras? The release of Persona 4 Golden in Japan marked the single largest spike in hardware sales since the start of the year and it continues to be among the country’s most popular games. Acknowledging comparable levels of excitement in North America–indicated by projections that P4G will be the most pre-ordered single-platform game in ATLUS history–we are thrilled to offer the region-exclusive Solid Gold Premium Edition. It is loaded with as many prized collectibles as possible, all of which are the exact same items made available in Japan, down to the use of the original title, Persona 4: The Golden. We hope it will be a treat for series faithful and an irresistible temptation for current and prospective PS Vita system owners. Fans are advised to resist the urge to test the Premium Edition’s authenticity by biting on it.
