While we haven’t reported news on games from Atlus before, the fact that Sega has acquired them does make their games part of Sega’s offering now. With that in mind, we thought it’s worth letting people know that Persona 4 Golden for the PS Vita (in my opinion one of the best JRPG’s out there), is now available at a discount on both the US and EU PlayStation Network.
On the US PlayStation Network, the sale is part of a bigger “Golden Week” sale featuring discounts on a large selection of Japanese games. The US digital version for Persona 4 Golden now costs $19.49, or $14.62 if you have a PSN Plus subscription. The sales will end on May 5th. On the EU side, there’s no Golden Week sale but despite that Persona 4 Golden is also getting a discount there. The price is slightly higher than the US Version, with the game now costing €19.99 (with an additional 10% discount for PS Plus members). The EU sales will run for two weeks, starting from April 30th. You can follow the links below to see what other games are being discounted:

There’s more news for Persona 4 Golden as well. Despite the fact that the original Persona 4 on the PS2 already got an anime a few years ago in the form of “Persona 4: The Animation”, Atlus has now announced a new anime “Persona 4: the Golden Animation”. As you may have guessed, the anime will also feature the extra story content from the PS Vita version. In particular, the trailer reveals the anime will now include Marie, a character that wasn’t in the original version of the game. The anime is scheduled to begin airing in July.
