We cover all of the great game releases here on Best Buy’s blog. We even send bloggers to E3, the biggest gaming event in the world, every June so we can bring you the latest information about gaming. However, we rarely get a chance to give away one of those coveted new releases: until now! Enter now right here on the blog for your chance to win the amazing new Persona 5 video game.
Many people have been anticipating the arrival of the newest version of Persona in Canada (read a full review of the game by Gaming Editor Paul Hunter) I’m happy to say that it is here at Best Buy. To help celebrate, Best Buy and video game publisher Atlus, are giving away 3 copies of the game: 2 Steelbook Launch Editions and one Take Your Heart Premium Edition (prizes shown above).
What is special about Persona 5
Person 5 is a role playing game set in Tokyo. You assume the character of a high school student: he and his friends, live double lives. As the rebellious Phantom Thieves of Hearts, the group of troubled youth spend part of their time using fantastic powers, to enter the hearts of corrupt people to basically destroy the evil and transform them. This series is wildly popular so you know that Persona 5 is going to be huge gaming hit in 2017.
Our gaming writer, Paul Hunter, received an advance copy of Persona 5 and quickly wrote a mini-review after trying it out for a few hours so we could learn a little about this new game (go here for his full review). His more detailed review is forthcoming next week after many hours spent discovering all that is new and exciting about this version of the game. Here are a few of his early observations:
- includes many gorgeous cutscenes :Everything looks superb, perhaps the best anime-style cutscenes in a video game yet
- it is chatty
- fights I’ve be in so far have been very much traditional Persona fare
- Legendary composer Shoji Meguro is back to score Persona 5: the soundtrack is upbeat and inspired
Read Paul’s initial impressions then come back here to let us know what you are looking forward to the most in the Persona 5.

Enhancement of the social link system. Reviews sound like it’s definitely better (as compared to P3)
I love the way the story rolls and how the graphics of game makes the user experience interactive
I love the music, so I am looking forward to the music in the new game.
Watched a short video about the hold up/negotiating system, so I am looking forward to trying/seeing how that plays out! Has a different feel from Persona 4 that I played, but seems to keep all the best parts from it.
I’m hoping that this game’s graphic quality is better than FF15!!!
I’ve only played Persona 3, but I loved the stark contrast between dungeons and real life simulator-type sections. I hope this is still a fundamental piece of the Persona series!
Would be new to the Persona games, so I cannot say what I would expect from it, although turn-based combat and lots of dialogue with a good story sound perfect.
I am hopefully looking forward to the stealth in this game
Epic soundtrack and compelling storyline
I love the “weird high school” concept of Persona!
Looking forward to to hear my personal voice and accent on the game a
Persona Artwork and Soundtrack has always been beautiful. I’ve played every single Person and I’m looking to add this one to my collection as well! Excited to see how the battle system works!
For sure the soundtrack, the combat system and the amount of content this game has to offer!
I hope there’ll be more opportunities to grow our personal relationships in the game to give us a boost in combat 🙂

Best looking steel case ever, Sony gotta release more premium steel cases!
Looking forward to see the personas continue into this game, and beating bigger badder boss!
Wow, amazing love the whole concept!
Love the day to day time management from Persona 4. I hope that continues to this game as well but on a bigger scale.
Hanging out with your sexy anime buddies!
I think i love the sound track the best, well the art for personas also awesome but then again the unique game play is also cool with how you need to decide wither to study or build up your social circles…i guess just all of it 😛 as for what i hope to see in persona 5 i guess it would be that i hope they continue with the awesome soundtrack and awesome art style 🙂
Will be my first Persona game but looking forward to good ol’ turn based combat system. The artistic style is also very appealing to me.
I hope Persona 5 continues to have unique art style, great music and story.
Thank you for your time.

One of the most anticipated JRPG since ~7 years ago. The interaction between characters that is closely knitted to the story is why I’ve been looking forward for this game.
I’m new to Persona series of games but I’ve heard and read many reviews of how great the previous series are. Would definitely be interested in getting my foot in the door through this new release.
The incredible soundtrack, every persona game has its own unique music and this one is no different.
I love the character designs and writing in the Persona series, I already love the look of several P5 characters as I’ve seen in the trailers!
Honestly, I’ve never played any of the persona games and would simply like to get to know the characters and unlock pretty much everything. You know, play the game.
If I won, I’d play it and if not, maybe I’d still play it just a lot later on. Anyway, best of luck to everyone.
I really enjoy the fighting mechanics and art style, really makes Persona stand out from other JRPGs!
Stealth, best part
I am brand new to the Persona Universe so I have no expectations from previous entries but I have heard nothing but great thing about this series which excites me to finally be able to try it on my PS4 Pro! I can’t wait!
Persona has amazing soundtrack game after game. Combat system is also quite interesting & unique
It’s gotta be the length of the games in this series. Too many games these days are way too short for the money you drop on them. You can always count of the Persona series to give you at least 100 hours of great game play and an amazing story.
Building relationships between characters is fun! I hope this comes back and is as fun in Persona 5.
Hoping the story line that Shoji Meguro created continues
I’d love to see how the combat works in this one. I’ve only ever played the third game, but couldn’t get myself into it. From what I’ve seen of this one though, it looks a lot more interesting.
I actually looking the forward to the social networking! It’s kind of like a dating sim game…. in an JRPG! 😀
Really excited about the stealth aspect of this game 🙂
Honestly loving Shoji Meguro’s take on the music for this instalment. He’s probably one of my current top favourite composers from the current and past gens.
Fingers crossed for the premium, that shujin academy bag is tops.
Love Personas art style.
My favorite feature is the long and well written story. The combat system also seems appealing.
Looking forward to having Persona 4 costumes and Personas.
Definitely the unique soundtrack, Persona 4 had an amazing soundtrack and I’m sure Persona 5 will too
Persona 4 Golden had great characters and funny dialogue between the characters. I played it on the Vita so I’m looking forward to seeing what it plays like on the PS4. I’ve avoided trailers so I would not get any spoilers. I’d love to get it for free though. Thanks for the chance.
For me i love the dungeon crawls.
