I already have a beefy PC and re purchased a ps3 just last year. So yeah I'm getting it for the ps3, I'd rather not spend 200£ or more to get a ps4 for just this game.
Plus it'll be cheap to buy compared to new games coming out.

You never sent it for repair ? You shouldmy ps3 had a problem it took 3 days and I received a brand new one. (In Canada)
Is there a way to recover HD data from a dead Ps3? I still have my old one, in vain hope that I might get my Tales of Xillia and other saves back.
at this point I'll probably just trade it towards a Pro, idk I'm bitter about jumping through hoops when the only thing i did wrong was buying a PS4You never sent it for repair ? You should

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
I have a PS4 Pro and unless the game gets some kind of 4K or 60 FPS upgrade on the Pro, I'll still probably get the PS3 version.
It, like Atlus' other games, won't be coming to PC. Also, P5 is quite different from P3 and P4 before it (though those two were also distinct from each other).
Yes, though the OP does mention it was designed for the PS3. There's no enhancements done to the graphics which means not all the textures will scale up well. The biggest advantage of the PS4 version is definitely the better loading I think, not that the PS3 loading sounds horrible but I heard you'll still be going between screens pretty often.

Why not go for the PS4 version if you already have one?
I hear you, unless it changed it now in the recent years it was absolutely pain free to send it for repair, you should you can always resell your console after to put the money towards a pro.
I was waiting for an agent like 5 minutes and the call took maybe 10 minutes. They send you a coffin box, you put the console in, you ship it (it's paid by them) and you just wait.

A poll would be interesting.
-Getting the PS3 version, no PS4.
-Getting the PS3 version, despite having a PS4.

I'm holding out that they will eventually. It's probably a dumb dream but...please Atlus...

I am considering getting it for PS3 just to have pretty much the last PS3 RPGs released on the system. Separately I am getting PS4 SE version so PS3 one would be just to have on my shelf since I have vast majority of PS3 RPGs releases (minus Compile Hearts games and some of the iffy NISA ones).

Ps4. I hate the ps3 UI and controller.
I don't know about you but I tend to play more than one game on my devices.

I'm living in Japan right now and didn't bring my PS4 with me so I'm seriously considering buying a PS3/PS4 just so I can play the game when it comes out -- but I'm still not sure which version I'll get. If I want to be as cheap as possible, I'll go for PS3.

Well. The PS4 enhancements are fairly minimal. PS3 version will be cheaper and might be a better 'collectors' version in the long run.
Not me, only time I'd ever choose to play on the PS3 over the PS4 is if there was no PS4 option. The download and install times a lone are enough for me, but I also don't currently have a headset that works on the PS3 either and I'd be using a DS4 regardless, so PS4 is a easy choice for me.

PS4 for me. If I didn't own a PS4 already I would buy one for Persona 5. Just to avoid having to use a PS3 again.

A year ago or so my answer would've been "Me", but now, not so much. That being said, from what I've heard there's really not much difference between the two versions. But I don't even have my PS3 connected anymore, so...
I'm getting it on PS3. I wish we also got Berseria's PS3 version in english. I'm just not interested in the PS4. I have plenty to play with Nintendo systems already, and I'll buy a Switch for Mario and Fire Emblem next year, probably.
PS3 was my first and only non-Nintendo system, I bought it to play the Tales games. I bought a few other stuff on it (JRPGs, MGS, Mass effect, TLoU, forgetting a few things) and while it was good fun, I don't feel like I'm missing that much by passing on the PS4 this gen.
Now that more japanese games release on steam, I'll just have to buckle up and build a budget gaming PC at some point to play stuff I've missed out on.

Thanks for the heads up! I changed my order to the steelbook!
Quick Prime related question. My Prime ends on March 28 and I don't plan on renewing it. Will the 20% discount and release day shipping stay intact for my Persona 5 preorder? The fine print says I need to have Prime at the time of order AND time of shipping to reap the benefits but I've read conflicting reports.

Agreed. Please mods, plz ^-^!
As far as I remember the steelbook version is exactly the same price as the normal retail version on Amazon no matter in which country you pre-order it. So if you want the game day 1 then there is no reason not to get the Steelbook version unless you can still snag a Collector's Edition (money-value proposition is insane considering all the stuff you get for just $20 more) somehow or prefer the retail version cover over having the IMO better looking looking steelbook.

You know you could have just said "don't have" and spared some feelings.
Me.
Here's the reasons:
- I don't have a PS4.
Nominating the gag option as "No Lady Gaga OST, no buy"

"I wanted a dog instead of a cat, no buy".
Probaby me, if I'll be able to get it later this year. No PS4 here, I mostly play on PC and still have a bunch of PS3 games to start.
I'd like a demo, though. The style looks cool, but I've pretty much stopped watching anime in the last 2-3 years. Don't know if this will click for me right now.

$20 less is honestly a pretty decent reason for some, I would think.

I own P3 FES and P4, but have yet to play either. So if I continue this habit of buffoonery with the series I'll get it on PS3.
Not me. I have a PS4 and I just can't get myself to play any games on the PS3 at this point mainly cause the PS4 just runs a lot smoother, is quicker, and does things like I don't have to quit the game to use Netflix. I mean it's all small things but it adds up to me not liking having to use the PS3 after being spoiled by the PS4.

That's lame!
