Another Walmart in-store price match. I will definitely take it as my GameStop in-store pre-order is in limbo.

Walmart.com $49.94 (In Store Only) This might be good for a Best Buy price match come Tuesday!

Best Buy has Persona 5 Royal Launch Edition for $59.99 with a $10 Gift Card 

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/persona-5-royal-launch-edition-playstation-4/6393362.p?skuId=6393362

If you want to take the time to price match, you can call Best Buy Customer Service at 888-237-8289 to price match Walmart's online price as listed in the link above (Best Buy's Online Price Matching is currently unavailable).  At least you are not risking running the risk of buying in store at Walmart (I wouldn't want a free virus with the in store purchase) & you might be able to get the game for $49.94 with the $10 GC on top...

I canceled my GS in-store order because pandemic and ordered off Amazon instead.

I don't hate a $10 price drop days before release, for sure.
 
reminder that target has a buy 2 get 1 free starting tomorrow, amazon usually matches a limited amount of games. the target ad shows resident evil 3, persona 5 royal, and doom eternal as being eligible.

what is false? all 3 of the games i listed are pictured in the ad.

edit: i see what you are saying. the ad page could go either way, but if those 3 games arent included they are going to have some issues. i mean the games are on the top of the page and right below them in large bold print it says buy 2 get 1 free.

Persona 5, Resident Evil 3 and Doom Eternal are included in the deal, but the website isn't taking anymore RE3 purchases for the moment.

Sorry my mistake. Wasn't expecting new releases and preorders to actually work

Very tempting price and I am literally shaking at wanting to buy this, but my game buying habits have gotten so out of control and I am so addicted that I still never opened the Persona 5 I bought for full price on day one years ago.

Do it! You can't have the first one and not the second. That goes against the Collector Code!

 
Amazon emailed me to warn that my order might be delayed in shipping because pandemic.

It got delayed a whole 24 hours.

... that doesn't seem worth emailing me over?
 
How long do you guys think the steelbook edition will remain available?  I miss the preorder wave on target and now it show only the regular edition.  

 
I’m guessing the upc for steelbook and regular version are not the same since it seems like the steelbooks are extremely limited?

It's really hard to say due to the current demand for gaming stuff in general right now. For parts of the last week it was easier to order the CE than the launch edition.

the $49 launch edition is temporarily back in stock on amz at the time of this post.

I didn't know there was a theme in the steelbook edition. Is it the same as the theme that's advertised to be in the Phantom Thieves edition?

Dunno. Could be an Amazon exclusive instead.

But looking at the Amazon listing for the Phantom Thieves edition, that includes the steelbook. So...it COULD be the same theme, since the code was inside the steelbook.
 
I was at walmart this evening.  The launch edition copies have a sticker advertising the dynamic theme on them.

 
I can confirm that the price matching option for BB works. However, I don't think the $10 gift card is still available. It briefly shows up on the page but then disappears. Probably was a pre order only thing. 

 
I wasn't able to get anyone on the phone for BB when I ordered it on the 31st.

But I saw this today and figured I would try again.

I got through on the phone number and I got the $10 refunded.

Super pleased I got it for $49 and still got the $10 cert.

 
I just noticed that my target order doesn't say steelbook version anymore online. The receipt in my email says steelbook version. I sure hope I get the steelbook version I ordered.

My guess is that this means that the steelbook edition really is pretty limited. Websites will start replacing the steelbook pictures with the standard version except at Bestbuy where the site will still say steelbook version long after they start shipping the regular version. At least that's been my experience with things like this in the past... :)

Mine was backordered and showed the standard version as well. I was so confused on whether I was going to get the steelbook or the plastic blue case. I ended up cancelling the order and now I'm waiting for the steelbook from Amazon. The cancellation email shows "steelbook" just like the email receipt does. I'm super curious to which one you're going to get.

 
I guess we’re gonna find out soon. I’m receiving my persona 5 copy later today. Was steelbook before it got changed to regular version picture
 
Price matched wal-Mart’s $50 price tag at Best Buy for the steelbook. More than I wanted to pay for this frankly, but got real bad FOMO thinking that the steelbook is gonna disappear soon.

All the Steelbook versions, including the CE, have the theme code in them.

I got steelbook! :) Mine wasn't backordered so I think you made the right choice.

Bestbuy added a non steelbook listing as a separate listing.
