I literally spent $200 to get the collectors edition with the art booklet, mask, etc AND ONLY GOT THE $60 GAME. It even came in a tiny box that couldn't even fit everything which was a dead giveaway. Beyond angry now, was supposed to be a present for my loved one!!!Edit #1 Replacement wasn’t even an option until I contacted Amazon customer service. They were not even able to offer expedited shipping. The current shipping option is listed as 2 day shipping yet the expected delivery date is listed as July 17th? I just checked that if i decide to set up a separate new order (at a now higher price point) the expected delivery was between July 8-12th? I needed this for July 7th and on top of disappointment of the first delivery I am left bitter and frustrated to wait longer with no compensation on my end.I was so excited when I opened the box! The artbook is amazing and so well detailed. The CD is great (I've listened to it maybe like 15 times on repeat). The steelbook is really pretty and durable. Honestly, the mask makes this purchase so worth it. I was afraid the mask would be flimsy plastic or cardboard but it's more like a ceramic. It came with a stand and straps if you ever want to wear it (and you will).All in all if you loved Persona 5 Royal, you will this edition.Everything was in perfect conditionMy son loves the extra items that come with this edition, especially the art book. The mask looks nice and he often listens to the soundtrack even when he doesn't play the game. The extra game content is also worth getting this special edition.It had everything I wanted in it, the mask was thankfully uncracked, and it came early, overall a great purchase! :)Everything but the mask was intact. Sadly got the product and the mask was cracked in halfman all I got was the game itself. I’m hurtThe mask that came with this bundle was broken in half.I completed P5 already, but thought as we're all stuck at home it might be fun to re-visit it with the additional content. Cannot comment on the game itself yet with the new content, except for saying that the original was very good. If you have already completed P5, I guess you have to weigh up if this is worth the time sink (potentially 80-100 hours or more) for some debatably minor extras / changes. So far I have read mixed feelings from people who have completed both.Fair price at £80, unlike some that rip you off (Resident Evil 3 Remake Collector’s Edition, Final Fantasy VII Remake 1st Class Edition are recent examples of this). As for the physical edition with the goodies: It's one of the better ones:1. Hardcover art book with lovely illustrations (of course the proper standalone P5 art book is better, but doesn't have art related to this Royal edition)2. Mini soundtrack CD, 10 tracks3. Mask which I will most likely sell as do not need, but it seems high quality and can be worn with the included strap or displayed with the included stand. Handy for cosplayers.4. Then of course the box with the beautiful artwork.Criticisms: No Japanese text option (only voice - come on...), and is it really worth the time if you've completed P5? Also some negatives from P5 carry over, for example the depiction of gay people, and treatment of some of the female characters.Great game, I'm about 5 hours in, but the product didn't arrive in great condition. The corner of the collector's box had been damaged and now sticks out on the shelf.Great game but I prefer the original collector’s edition for Persona 5. The artbook is nice and a hardback too. The mask however, is best for display purposes only, as it feels like it is made out of resin so more likely to break. You can use the supplied ribbons to attach it to your head, but they have to be tied at each end then tied at the back of your head. The mask is quite thick and will slip off your face. Soundtrack is just in a cardboard slipcase and the steelbook is well designed and complements the steelbook for the original P5 one. A good CE, but don’t pay more than £80...The game itself is a solid JRPG and this updated Royal version adds enough to the original release to make it replayable.This Phantom Thieves edition though truly is amazing. It includes The steelbook version of the game, Soundtrack CD, Hardback Art Book, a code for a dynamic theme for your ps4 home screen and a replica Joker mask which comes with a stand but is wearable and comes with some elastic to keep it on.All the items in this collector's edition feel good quality and the only thing that could have been better is the soundtrack being in a jewel case instead of the standard cardboard sleeve.I have to admit I didn’t play persona 5 as I was too busy playing persona 3 on my PS Vita, well I’m glad I waited because this edition of the game is awesome!Really worth the money, but I’ve noticed it’s now being sold for £130, when it was only £79 a few days ago.
