Some Amazon Customers Are Getting Persona 5 For Free
Persona 5 has been out in Japan for some time, so the wait for us North American folk has been excruciating. Today, some of those waiting for the game received some good news. It’s the kind of news that has the rest of us wishing we had know about this earlier.
A couple of weeks ago, Amazon cancelled a number of pre-orders for Persona 5’s “Take Your Heart” limited edition. This was apparently because the edition contained “dangerous items.” This sent the community in a tizzy and even the game’s publisher, Atlus USA, was understandably angry that the orders were cancelled. Well, it appears that the orders may not have been cancelled after all, and Amazon is looking to make up for this with free copies of Persona 5.
Twitter user “Wario64” shared an email earlier today from the company, which stated:
“We’re contacting you about your order for Persona 5 – PlayStation 4 ‘Take Your Heart’ Premium Edition. We recently learned that we incorrectly canceled your order and sent you an inaccurate message about the goods being considered dangerous. Persona 5 – PlayStation 4 ‘Take Your Heart’ Premium Edition is not a dangerous good. To help make up for the inconvenience, we have sent you a copy of Persona 5 – PlayStation 4 ‘Take Your Heart’ Premium Edition, free of charge.”
Remember when Amazon was cancelling Persona 5 Take Your Heart Editions a week or two ago? They’re giving it for free for inconvenience https://t.co/PxOn0hNgqU

No word yet on how many consumers are affected and who will be getting free copies. Good to see Amazon doing this to make good on the snafu.
