We have received no request to alter our usual options for Persona 4. If requested to removed JP language we will say...

So in short, currently no request here to alter our usual release mode (JP + EN) due to different region codes on BD to Japan.

For Persona 4 we mean, if that changes we will let people know :).

Aside from these major announcements, it was also confirmed that Persona 4: The Animation will be released in DVD and Blu-Ray "combo" packs

FWIW, listing for Persona 4 The Animation Box 1 (DVD) is up @ Anime-On-Line and HMV. Release date listed is December 24th 2012. I didn't see Blu-ray notation listed as of this post.

EDIT: Amazon UK listing

They said it would be a combo pack... so there really should be just 1 listing for it.

Yeah it was poor wording on my part. I meant to say that the listings lack the Blu-ray notation on either site.

Box 2 - late in March 2013 (pre-order should up at end of October)
Box 3 - around June 2013

£29.99 is the correct MSRP.

Interesting, maybe releasing it in 3 sets was a compromise they had to make... Either way I may very well pick this up.

It's a shame it's 3 months between each part and not 2. I'll bite though.
