Atlus U.S.A. has announced that digital pre-orders for Persona 5 have gone live in the US and Europe. What immediately stands out though is the difference in price for both regions: $59.99 for the US compared to €69,99 (around $74.6) for the EU. While the US digital edition’s price is equal to the base US Steelbook edition, the EU digital edition is around €10 more expensive than the base EU physical “Steelbook” edition. I’m hoping this price is a mistake, as I don’t see a good reason for such a hefty price tag for the EU specifically. Especially since the UK price seems more in line with the US one, and is still $11 cheaper than the price in euro. I made a quick image showing the differences in price below. EU to the left, then US and then UK.
The digital pre-orders include the in-game “Izanagi & Izanagi Picaro Set” Persona DLC. allowing them to use Persona 4‘s Izanagi in Persona 5. The set also includes a unique Picaro version that dresses up Izanagi to match the style of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts. You can see preview screenshots of the theme and Izanagi DLC below, together with the link to the pre-order pages on the stores can be found below.
