As you all should know Persona 3's "release date" is officially tomorrow, August 14th. It's likely your local retailer won't see it for another day or so afterward, so just give them a call if you've pre-ordered locally. Unlike Devil Summoner and Digital Devil Saga, it appears even retailers like Best Buy will be carrying this game. . . at least on their web sites. If you've not pre-ordered already, I would suggest you do so tonight.
If you're still not sure, I suggest you check out http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps2/persona3?q=persona%203">Metacritic. The overall score from all submitted professional reviews puts the game at 88 out of 100 currently, which is quite good.
As for our review, I've unfortunately not finished the game yet. I am, however, a good 45 or so hours into it and thus feel safe posting my overall thoughts on it so far. I have no intention of attaching a score, but it might be a good read if you want some more input on the game. To keep it short: I really like it.
You can check that out http://www.digitaldevildb.com/games/persona3/d3_impressions.php">here, if you so desire. Expect the Persona 3 section to expand more in the coming weeks as I (and others) progress through the game. The character and Persona sections will be revamped (hopefully to provide indepth info to those who want it, without spoiling every one else), just to give an example.
Thanks!

Great job as usual Tony. It'll be fun beefing up the P3 section once everyone's finished. XD
I don't leave until tomorrow night. Let's hope my store gets the game in right before they closed just like in the old days. Oh I miss those days.

Labyrinth of sympathy in which I'm lost and can't leave
And too much truth overshadows the lime lies
Cos' what lies beneath the clouds is an
Altered perception and I'll pay for sanity
But sanity don't come cheap

Yeah, haha, a similar thing happened to me when I was calling Gamestops to find copies of DDS 1 and 2. One of the people that answered the phone had a reaction that was funny.:P
"Hey, do you guys have Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga?"
"Woah, woah, woah, hold on there buddy. What did you say?"
Another one:
"Hey, do you guys have Shin Megami Tensei: Digital Devil Saga?"
"Hold on" *Takes 10 minutes*
"Yeah, we have Shin... Devil Summoner"
"No, Digital Devil Saga"
"Oh, we don't have that"

Something similar happend to me. When I enter the game shop I always ask for Megaten games, for example, the last time like 2 months ago, the person goes near me and ask me if I was looking for a game in special, and I say to him, "Do you have Persona 3" and then he say, "Oh, let me check!" he run to the room with a lot of games, and then walks to me and say me, "Sorry, I already sell that game, yesterday".
What an awfull but funny answer, since Persona 3 hasn´t come out till that date. Oh well...

That sucks.
I'm glad I bought the strategy guide earlier at another GS, the one I got my game at had no more...

I don't understand why people buy strat guides instead of just going to gamefaqs. Can someone tell me the difference? Or do people just not like reading all that text?

Well, you know, Strategy guides often include character art and such, and it's also nice to look at, let alone considering it collection.

I bought it mostly for the pretty pictures, but now I'm glad I bought it for the FAQs. >_>

Yeah, I picked up a copy the other night...
I had connections to probably get it for free but it would've taken awhile and I wanted to start playing it as soon as I could. :O It's soooooo much fun.
