Well, ’tis the season indeed. We mentioned a couple months ago that gamers pre-ordering Yggdra Union for the PSP would be rewarded with a bonus soundtrack CD. Well, Atlus has taken this awesome promotion a step further and will be shipping every copy of some of their upcoming titles with a soundtrack CD included in the box.
While Eternal Poison, Luminous Arc 2, and Persona 4 will each be shipped with additional music discs, don’t think they don’t want you to pre-order their games. Those who pre-order will be treated to massive art books (100 pages for Eternal Poison and Persona 4)! Be sure to get out there and pre-order these games that you’re likely going to want to buy anyway, and check out the official “Deluxe Set” website for more detials. Luminous Arc 2 is going to feature some awesome music, so be sure to watch for it.
Do you think including the soundtrack with the game is a better approach than distributing it as a pre-order bonus? Are you excited about the music in any of these three titles?
Hit the jump for the official press release.
