Atlus decides to spoil fans this season

Atlus Eternal Poison, Luminous Arc 2 and Persona 4 deluxe sets
Atlus has just announced that all three RPGs released by the company this holiday season will come with soundtrack CDs and have artbook preorder bonuses. Atlus had previously that soundtracks would accompany Eternal Poison, Luminous Arc 2 and Persona 4, and now has decided to offer 60-100 page art books as well. GameStop/EB Games, Amazon.com and Game Crazy are the four retailers specifically mentioned for the deal, but other stores should offer the artbook preorder as well.

Eternal Poison a strategic RPG for the PS2, comes out first on November 11, 2008. It comes with a 100 page artbook full of art from the game. Next, Luminous Arc 2, a strategic RPG for the DS, comes out on November 18, 2008. Its artbook is a bit smaller, at only 60 pages, but includes art from both Luminous Arc 1 and 2. Finally, Persona 4, a PS2 RPG, comes out on December 9, 2008, with a 100 page artbook to accompany it.

It really is a wonderful promotion, and I’m sure it will drive Atlus fans to the nearest game store to preorder. I know I’d love a Persona 4 or Luminous Arc artbook. The soundtrack alone was a nice tidbit, I wonder why more companies don’t include one with the game.
