Atlus has announced today that Shin Megami Tensei: Persona for the PSP system is now available in stores across North America. The game is a remake of the first chapter in the highly-acclaimed Persona franchise, released in North America twelve years ago as Revelations: Persona for the Playstation. The UMD version of the game will be sold in a Collector's Edition boxed set and will house a 2-disc soundtrack of the game's entire musical score. This is no pre-order special, and the CDs are included with all copies of the game, but only for those at launch.

A digital version of the game will also be available via the Playstation Network and is scheduled for a October 1 release. Both versions of the game will be priced at $39.99, but only physical launch copies will have the soundtrack. So hardcore fans may want to consider grabbing the UMD version(plus, you won't have to wait another week for the game).

In affiliation with Amazon.com, TripleChat is happy to bring you the new releases each week for the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2, and PlayStation Portable.

Along with new game releases they will also highlight the top five bluray releases each week that they feel will best suite movie and TV show fans alike. This is region specific to North America.

This week TripleChat notices there is a slight drought this week in quality titles, perhaps from the release of a particular game...rhymes with J-Lo. Nonetheless the selection is decent depending on what you want to buy. Namco is releasing (they hope) the new Katamari game this week, after pushing it up a week last week and now setting it back to its original release date. Rock Band has a new track pack and Persona comes to the PSP!

On the bluray side of things, it's a good week to be a Trekkie as the second season and "The Next Generation" make their blu debut at some excellent pricepoints. Other releases include a couple of Simon Pegg hits, as well as the latest (and final) season of Terminator.

"On September 22, 2009 Atlus will be releasing the original, acclaimed SMT: Persona title for the Sony PSP, with ridiculous amounts of updates, upgrades, and fan service thrown into the mix.

Today, Atlus sent news of several major content updates to the Persona website, including videos showing off the characters, story, and battle system. You can also treat your ears to samples from the Double-CD soundtrack that will be bundled with every retail copy."

One of the very first PSX games I devoured just happened to be Persona, and from then on I was a changed person. As the years passed the sequels impressed me more and more, especially through Persona 3 and Persona 4, having adopted the Shin Megami Tensei prefix.
