As we’re all aware, the PSP Go will hit store shelves in North America on October 1. Also on that date, we’ll be able to purchase Gran Turismo PSP, either digitally or on UMD. For a time, it was believed to be the first such simultaneous game release for the system, but that’s no longer the case. Atlus jumped in and stole the honor by announcing that they will be releasing the remade Shin Megami Tensei: Persona title in the same manner on September 22, a little over a week earlier.

We’ve known the Revelations: Persona remake was coming at us for quite some time. We didn’t know it would be available both digitally on the PSN and in stores in UMD format on the same day. But, think long and hard before you buy this title off the PSN – it’s the same price as the UMD ($39.99) and doesn’t come with the two-disc soundtrack that the physical copy includes. I’m going to go out on a limb and bet that the majority of gamers interested in this title will likely want the soundtrack to add to their collection. It will definitely look spiffy sitting on the shelf next to my Persona 4 soundtrack. I still rock that out every so often……what?
