Persona 4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena (ペルソナ4 ジ・アルティメット イン マヨナカアリーナ) [region locked]

Persona 4 The Ultimate in Mayonaka Arena (ペルソナ4 ジ・アルティメット イン マヨナカアリーナ) is a fighting game with characters from the PS4 RPG Persona 4. I would recommend this game only to people with a Japanese PS3 because it is one of the very rare region locked games on the PS3. In fact, as far as I know, it is the only region locked game on the system.

The game has been tested and plays great. The photo uploaded is of the actual game I am selling. 99% of PS3 games are region free but this one is one of the rare ones that isn't. From wiki:

"The game was the first PlayStation 3 title to be region-locked, although the game's online servers remained unlocked. The decision to region lock the PlayStation version of the game was met with criticism, with many threatening to boycott the game, as they feared it would set a precedent for other companies to region lock games in the future.[citation needed] This backlash forced Atlus USA to issue a press release, in which they stated that because both the Japanese and North America versions were virtually identical and with their release dates only weeks apart, a region lock was put in place by Atlus in order to prevent reverse importation, as the price of games in the United States is cheaper than the price in Japan."

DVD games will be wrapped in a removable plastic sleeve and then placed in a bubble wrapped mailer for shipping. Please remember, the games will ship from Japan so please allow some additional shipping time. Also during Japanese postal holidays (New Year's, Golden Week, Obon) orders will be delayed while the post office is closed.
