Shin Megami Tensei Persona 3 Portable Appraisal

Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable (P3P) UMD for PSP

This item is a Universal Media Disc (UMD) designed for the PlayStation Portable (PSP) handheld console, featuring the video game 'Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3 Portable' (P3P). The disc itself is circular, standard for UMDs, and appears to be housed within its original white, protective UMD casing, which has a distinct rounded-rectangular shape with exposed edges for inserting into the PSP. The prominent label on the disc showcases vibrant anime-style artwork, depicting two main characters from the game: a female protagonist on the left holding a card with the 'ATLUS' logo, and a male character on the right. The game title 'SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI P3P PERSONA 3 PORTABLE' is clearly visible at the top of the label. A large white circular sticker is affixed to the center of the disc, boldly displaying 'UMD' in blue lettering and 'UNIVERSAL MEDIA DISC' beneath it. Other noticeable markings include the 'ATLUS' logo on the left, a 'MATURE M' ESRB rating on the right side of the disc, and a small PlayStation 'PSP' logo near the bottom center. Below the characters, small print indicates 'Manufactured in U.S.A. ULUS 10512. UPW 028370', providing manufacturing and product identification details. The overall condition appears good, with no immediately visible signs of heavy scratches, cracks, or significant wear on the disc or its casing, although the central 'UMD' sticker slightly obscures some of the game's artwork. The UMD format indicates an estimated age from the mid-2000s to early 2010s, corresponding to the PSP's active lifecycle. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced video game media, prioritizing functionality and brand recognition. The presence of both the female and male protagonists on the cover art is a distinguishing feature of the Portable version of Persona 3.
