Persona to be first simultaneous digital launch

When Atlus releases Persona for the PSP on September 22, it will do so with a simultaneous launch on UMD and the PlayStation Network. For now, this RPG will be the first game in the U.S. to launch simultaneously in digital and physical formats. The game is coming out before the digital-only PSPgo, set for release in October.

If you are interested in the bonus two-disc soundtrack, you’ll have to get the UMD format as the soundtrack is not available with the digital copy. Still, some PSP owners may want to get the digital copy at home instead of going to a retailer.

What do you think about Atlus’ decision to release Persona simultaneously in a digital and physical format before the PSPgo is launched?
