P3p Appraisal

Persona 3 Portable (P3P) UMD for PSP

The item is a Universal Media Disc (UMD) for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) console. Specifically, it is the video game 'Persona 3 Portable,' abbreviated as 'P3P' on the disc art. The UMD is housed in its characteristic translucent plastic shell, which is white around its perimeter, forming a protective, clam-shell like case for the optical disc within. The disc itself features colorful artwork depicting two anime-style characters, one female with reddish-brown hair and a red bow tie, and one male with dark hair and a serious expression, both presumably protagonists from the game. The title 'Shin Megami Tensei' appears in small text above 'P3P Persona 3 Portable.' A large circular white label in the center of the disc clearly displays 'UMD' in blue lettering, with 'UNIVERSAL MEDIA DISC' beneath it. The PlayStation logo (a stylized 'PS') is also visible on the disc art, alongside the ESRB 'M' (Mature) rating, indicating content suitable for ages 17+. Below the central UMD label, fine print likely details manufacturing origin ('Manufactured in U.S.A.') and legal information. The branding 'PSP' is subtly embossed or printed on the lower left of the white plastic shell, and a small controller icon is present on the lower right, typical of UMD releases for the system. The overall condition appears good, with the disc seemingly well-protected within its shell, though some minor surface scuffs or dust might be present on the outer plastic layer, possibly indicated by faint lines near the top left. The item belongs to the gaming media of the late 2000s/early 2010s, reflecting the era of the PSP's popularity. The craftsmanship is standard for mass-produced gaming media, with clear printing and a robust, albeit proprietary, physical format.
