Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Delayed Briefly For Art
As you read this, bleary-eyed or not, supplies of Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 ought to be being shipped to or unpacked at retail stores across this mighty land. Ought to be, but aren't. The latest iteration of the venerable Japanese RPG franchise that blends SciFi and horror as deftly as any slipstream or "weird fiction" novel was slated to drop this week for the Playstation 2, but is suffering a last-minute delay in order to have the art book reprinted with higher quality binding.
Said developer and publisher Atlus:
"Presented with the choice of compromising on the quality of the art book, or shipping the game without said extra, we decided to have the art book redone with a higher quality binding, which will cause a very short delay in the ship date of the title."
While I still haven't finished Nocturne, although I did thoroughly enjoy it, I'm greedily slavering over Persona 3 anyway. But nothing satisfies me more than the appearance of transparency from a corporate entity (except actually grabbing the game) and patience in the name of art is hardly a character flaw. So we endure.

Whoever screwed up the manufacturing and then didn't tell Atlus about it until the last minute has effectively grabbed my heart and ripped it from my chest. We've already waited so long...
