A Luminous Gold Box from Amazon

by JC Fletcher on Jan 12th 2009 5:00PM

One of Amazon's all-video-game Gold Box Deals today, scheduled for 6PM PST, features the teaser text "Get bonus goodies with this radiant crescent." We puzzled out the completely transparent clue all by ourselves, guessing that it was Luminous Arc 2 with its included soundtrack CD. Then, just as we were congratulating ourselves for our moderate riddle-solving skills, Atlus totally spoiled the ending with an email to their "Atlus Faithful" mailing list, confirming the identity of the offer. It must have felt nice for them to reveal something early after all the ESRB spoilers.

Now all we don't know is the price drop the game will temporarily receive -- but at least it's getting one. The $36.99 that Amazon currently charges for the SRPG is painful.

Hey, man... You've got a slight error in that link to amazon.

Painful? At least with this one game Atlus tax you get some swag that makes the package a little more substantial. Unlike some other developer that taxes.

Pfft, US$39.99 on a day one release is worth it; heck, initially, I just bought Luminous Arc 2 solely for the Luminous Symphony CD. The artbook is a sweet surprise.

wow that didn't last long.... I'll pick it up next time amazon marks it down if it still comes w/ that bonus swag.

Otherwise, I'm at my capacity when it comes to SRPGs on handhelds.
