Today: 50% Off Atlus Games in the “HOJAEFJAAM” PSN Sale

Friends of the Blog of PlayStation,

‘Tis a week — nay, why not call it an entire month — of celebration! Those of you who hath recently vanquished thy terrible foe known as “school” are now celebrating as much sloth and inactivity as your parental figures are willing to permit. Those of you who work for a living are looking forward to pleasant possibilities of the vacational variety, hoping some pool/beachside lounging is in your immediate future. The United States and Canada both celebrate their Independence Days.

Really, it’s a cool month (non-literally, as many are feeling right now, sadly), and as we mentioned earlier, there’s no shortage of cause for celebration. Which is why Atlus is so excited to announce the “Half Off Just About Everything For Just About A Month” (HOJAEFJAAM) PlayStation Network Sale, a 50-percent–off sale for just about every Atlus game in the PlayStation Store library!

Through July 31st, the “HOJAEFJAAM” (pronounced like it’s spelled) PSN promotion is cutting prices in half on pretty much every title Atlus has to offer via PlayStation Network, a collection that includes

Catherine
Only $19.99 (originally $39.99)

Catherine

The sleeper hit of 2011, Catherine challenges gamers’ minds and reflexes with its brazen mix of drama, horror, fast-paced action puzzles, and its daring exploration of the psychology of commitment and love. A terrific example of Atlus’ internal development studio firing on all cylinders, the game’s perfectly executed visual design and aural presentation, combined with the spectacular animated sequences of Studio 4°C, allow for true lasting impact on the player.

Trine 2
Only $7.49 (originally $14.99)

Trine 2 is one of the most beautiful, vibrant, lush, entrancing games ever made. It’s also a fantastic three-player (local and online) cooperative physics-based action platformer. Playing as one of three highly specialized characters, the Knight, the Wizard, or the Rogue — or all three, provided you’ve got two friends to play with — you will trek through a series of jaw-dropping set pieces filled with hazards to traverse and monsters to best, each area oozing with as much color as the talented developers at Frozenbyte could squeeze out of the light spectrum.

…Not to mention these other acclaimed hits, cult classics, and whatnot:

Class of Heroes
Crimson Gem Saga
Hexyz Force
Kenka Bancho: Badass Rumble
Knights in the Nightmare
Riviera: The Promised Land
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2: Innocent Sin
Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable
Yggdra Union
Droplitz
Rock of Ages
The Cursed Crusade

Surely you all have a PS Vita at this point? What? WHAT?! Don’t you know Persona 4 Golden is coming soon?! You know, the first Vita game to sell over 100,000 copies in Japan? WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR!?

  • Definitely going to grab Catherine at that price!!

  • Hope this sale goes great for Atlus so they can bring the rest of the Shin Megami Tensei PS2 classics over to PSN!!!!!!!!!!

  • Thank you so much Atlus! Time to pick up my first Persona game: Persona 3 for the Vita!

    • Jesszman,

      I think you’ll really enjoy it. Moreover, it’s the perfect lead up to Persona 4 Golden for Vita this fall!

  • Catherine and Persona 3 Portable for me, then!

    We love you Atlus!!!

  • Wow! It’s like you guys were reading my mind! I’ve been wanting Kenka Bancho and the Persona games on my Vita for a while and nearly bought them two days ago. Then I thought I would just wait for the next sale and here it is! :) Thanks Atlus!

    • It’s how we do our best market research. Don’t mind the little thing sticking out of the back of your head, just a wi-fi dongle implant. Wi-Fi-Di, for short. Oh wait, we’ve said too much. INITIATE MEMORY PURGE.

  • What an amazing sale! and for an entire month too?? I believe i can finally complete my ATLUS collection thanks a lot guys!

    p.s. will we ever recieve more atlus themed avatars like from catherine or the persona series pretty please?

    • Sorrows_Passion,

      We certainly give plenty of consideration to ATLUS-themed avatars ideas and yes, we hope we’ll hopefully have more in the future!

  • Hi, Aram. Great news. You reward procrastinators by cutting prices in half. I will add to my Vita backlog now so thank you. Happy 4th to you & the rest of our American PS nation.

  • despite already having a hard copy of Persona 3 Portable $10 is a damn good deal

  • Nice job Atlus! I definitely want to say thanks, genuinely, for listening to the requests from your fans / customers and bringing out this deal. My wallet will take a beating, but hey, that is what it is for right? :)

    • gravislord,

      Really, when you think about it, the poor things only take abuse. We sit on them all day, they get the aforementioned trauma from sales… And yet there they are, every time we reach for them in need, ready to give us monies. Provided we have monies. And that someone hasn’t stolen it.

      Anyways, I digress. In conclusion, wallets are cool, thanks for opening yours for us, and hopefully we’ll have more promotions and sales you’re interested in in the future!

  • Wow this is such a great deal! Catherine and Crimson Gem Saga for me, maybe also Knights in the Nightmare. Some great games at great prices on this list.

  • Time to pay tribute to some of the great PSP classics~ Hopefully this will inspire more localizations of other PSP greats!

  • Persona 2 to complete my Persona collection… Catherine so I don’t have to switch discs so often while playing other PS3 games. Yep, good, everything’s good.

    I preordered Persona 4 Golden 2 months ago, it my #1 priority, I even sold my 3DS a couple weeks ago to get a PS Vita. I am ready for it!!!

  • I’ll pick up Kenka Bancho since I have just about everything else, but I also want to inquire about the status of the “Vita-zation” of Gungnir – I’m made to understand that it’s in progress, right? Hopefully it’ll be supported soon.

  • i recommend to those that for whatever reason, havent played Hexyz Force to do it now!
    because the game is just awesome and for that price, i think that there’s no excuse to not buy it now :)

  • I just picked up a Vita the other day (in preparation for Persona 4 Golden of course!) So it’s a perfect chance for me to pick up Yggdra Union and Knights in the Nightmare, and maybe all the other games I can play on Vita too ;)

  • My birthday is tomorrow……….BEST PRESENT EVER!!!!! Catherine and Persona 2 ftw…

    I already have P3P =p

  • No Persona 3: FES (PS2 classics version) included? I’ve never played a Persona game, and sadly I don’t own a PSP/Vita. :(

  • LOL and I *just* picked up Persona 3 on Friday for the full $19.99.

  • Is the original Trine on sale too?

  • Totally worth to let that PSN plus 60 minutes demo on my hard drive! No need to wait to download it again! lol

  • AutomaticOcelot

    @ATLUS: Oh you. ;)

  • Atlus is such a crunchy company. I would butter their muffin any day.

    • BRANIAC4200,

      The only parts of your post we didn’t find objectionable were the periods. Everything else was highly disconcerting.

  • Damn… the department heaven games, persona, and kenka bancho. This might be good chance to stock up for when I get a Vita in the fall.

    Speaking of Kenka Bancho… buy it you jerks, it’s a wonderful game that nobody bought.

  • All these good games… How sorry I feel for my wallet. But at least I’ll be getting some games I’ve been wanting.

  • Persona 2 & Catherine prices seems tempting. Atlus, I hope you can also add 3d Dot Game Heroes to psn in the future. :)

  • With Catherine, P1, and P2IS on disc, Trine 2 and Rock of Ages through Plus, Droplitz on PC, and P3FES to restart* (Sony, y u no compatibility with PS2 memory cards?), I think all I’ll bite on for this round will be Riviera (still haven’t delved into SRPGs proper, but since this is the first in the Dept. Heaven line, then…). Heck I remember seeing print ad/s for the GBA version (in the same OPM/OPSM with the FFX-2 demo disc?).

    *I prolly should; despite sinking hours into Tartarus side-questing, I’ve forgotten nuances of the story so far (up to the kid’s upgrade, IIRC).

  • I think I’ve waited long enough to get Catherine. Very kind of you to offer the digital version cheaper than retail.

  • Thank you Atlus for your kindness! Although I found a disc copy of Catherine for 24 bucks the other day (Which I thought was a total steal for a new copy at Microplay lol) it seems you have 1-up’ed the market again!

    Will be getting Persona 1 and Persona 2! Thank you!

    Still got my copy of The Golden preordered. P4TG cannot release fast enough.

  • I’m gad someone listens to fans and wants our digital dollars. Thanks for being awesome. Guess ill pick up some demons.

  • Catherine or Katherine? I’m definitely buying this game today! Thank you so so much for this Aram!!

  • *starts cough-laughing when reading backward to great first post+reply*

    But yeah, if I had a Vita (or if it was even in the wings), I’d like-um dem digi-Personas. For the time being, though, LET’S WHIRR THAT DRIVE!

  • Any chance of P2 Eternal Punishment PSP being localized?

  • Just last night I was about to buy Persona. Glad I hesitated.

  • If you value your sanity, play Catherine in Easy mode, or you might even want to check out “very easy” mode on teh innernets.

  • Amazing sale on Atlus games really upset they pulled Hammerin’ Hero from the PSN I’d love to grab that game again and replay it on my Vita!

    • Deekman,

      We understand your frustration. Regretably, the fate of that title was tied to the unfortunate fate of its developer, IREM.

  • I second the question about Persona 2: Eternal Punishment? What is the story, are we getting it?

  • Are these discounts valid for the Brazilian store?

  • The only game on this list that I want and don’t have is Catherine, so you guys need to make/release more games for the next big sale.

  • Been waiting ages for this to happen. Can’t say no to Catherine at that price!

    Hopefully more PS2 Classics from Atlus are in the pipeline. I’d love to get digital versions of Nocture, DDS1&2. I’d say P4 too, but with P4G coming, that seems the most unlikely.

    Also, I can’t be the only PS3 owner that wants to play PSP digital titles on their PS3.

    Thanks Atlus/Aram!!

  • Nice. I’ll be grabbing Persona 2. Please bring the PSP Eternal Punishment “remake” to EU/US. I’m very much eyeing Catherine but I still have a very bitter taste in my mouth in regards to it NOT including both language tracks. The salt to the wound effect is even heightened by the very good probability of Atlus doing this in the first place due to pressure (from a certain company) to ensure equality on a multi platform title, due to not having the needed capacity on their DVD9 media. Remember who got you to where you are today Atlus, Playstation. So having said that, please consider porting Catherine to Vita with both language packs.

    Cheers.

  • Awesome. Just purchased Kenka Bancho, P3P, Crimson Gem, and Catherine. Very happy, great sale!

  • Thank you Atlus!
    I’m in love with your games since I bought Rule of Rose and I’m most definetly going to buy at least Catherine tomorrow. :)

  • Oh hell yeah! I have most of them already, but now is the perfect time to finish off that collection so I’ll finally be grabbing P1/2 and Knights in the Nightmare! Love you guys!

  • Wow, this sucks. I just bought Persona 1 – 3 and Yggdra Union the other day :(

  • just traded in 2 of those xbox game thingys to get a $20.00 PSN card…. time to go shopping.

  • It’s like there is a party in the PSN Store and I’m invited.

  • it’s like there is a party in the PSN Store and PSVITA is NOT invited*

  • Persona 1, Persona 2: IS, Persona 3 Portable on Vita memory card: check!

    I have open two bubble spaces open for Persona 2: ES (if you decide to localize it), and Persona 4 Golden.

    …I just realized PS Vita is THE Persona-Playing-Machine! Now to find out how to marry this inanimate object.

  • Thank you! My vita loves you now :D
