Persona 3 Movie Coming to Western Audiences Next Month

According to distributor Aniplex, western audiences in the United Kingdom and the United States can get their hands on the Persona 3 animated movie Spring of Birth on May 20th.

However, the price tag may prove to be too heavy even for the franchise's ardent fans. The Standard Edition is priced at roughly $59.99 and that includes the 90 minute theatrical cut, audio commentary, and promotional ads. Interestingly, the aforementioned price is actually discounted from its regular price tag of $74.98.

If you're willing to go all out, there is also a Collector's Edition available for $79.98 and it's usually priced at $99.98. It comes with an English-translated 48-page art book, soundtrack CD, unique box art, and other artwork. 

Persona 3 is a PlayStation 2 game, but it is available on the PlayStation 3 as a PS2 classic. We reported that there are also other games in the series available and slated for release on the PS3.

Spring of Birth was released in Japan last year and it is only the first part of Persona 3 film saga.
