Back at Sac State, I have access to a huge library that includes archives of newspapers via microfilm. Everything is copied...including the ads. Given the fact that I cosplay from Persona 3, I decided to dig back into these archives to see what it was like in 2007 and 2008 when the game first came out.

| The Fry's ad from August 17th, 2007, the Friday of the week that the original Persona 3 was released. |

| The Fry's ad from April 25th, 2008, the Friday of the week that Persona 3 FES was released. |
Notice the pricing: in 2007 "vanilla" P3 retailed for $44.99, while in 2008 FES retailed for $24.99. I wish I had a scan of the P3 Portable, which in 2010 retailed for $39.99, in a Fry's ad but their archives only go to a certain date.
If I can find the Sacramento Bee's review of Persona 3, I'll post it here. If not, I'll post their Persona 4 review from January 2009 because they actually did one, plus the Fry's ad from the week of the release.
