Oh fck me that's my favourite special edition Slim. Did it cost mroe than a regular used slim?

edit: nvm saw your answer. So jealous.

Ah, yeah I mentioned that it cost about 3,000 yen (~$30) more than a standard 160gb slim (black or white), but it included the game which offset the price difference somewhat. It was on sale which was nice. It was also about 4,000 yen (~$40) less than a used super slim (250gb) which doesn't come with a game. That worked out for me since I like the slim design over the newer super slim design.

I'm a few hours into Xillia now and I'm enjoying the game so far.

So official info abut Persona 5's setting has been detailed by Dengenki.....

http://www.siliconera.com/2013/11/26/persona-5-will-overcoming-trials-free/

"Dengeki reports that Persona 5 will be an RPG that sends a strong message of catharsis, after overcoming trials to free yourself from your shackles. The game will take place in the series’ usual juvenile school setting, but will take on a different mood this time around."

Greatness Awaits

Seems like at least part of my speculation is right. I expected those chains to be a metaphor for something tying the characters down and this seems to suggest that. Now to see if the other part of my speculation is correct. Is the setting going to be an exaggeration of the Japanese school system or is it going to be normal. Also, I'm expecting the protagonist to be a deliquent. Just get that vibe from from all these themes.
