As usual, Atlus has arranged a special bonus for North American pre-orders. Pick up Persona 4 Arena from one of 11 participating retailers to score a free soundtrack CD. The RPG spin-off fighter hits PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in early August; a European release has not been dated but is expected soon.

Arc System Works have launched a teaser site, which according to Andriasang’s sources, will be revealed on July 11. Some in the comments section on the site suggest it would be a new Guilty Gear, or the western release of Accent Core R. One user on suggests it has something to do with a haunted house but no one seems to figured out what it all means just yet. Just know it won’t be much longer, July 11 is next week after all.

Arc Systems Works has announced DLC for Persona 4: The Arena in Japan post-release next month. Don’t expect a massive helping, though: the DLC will contain different colour costume variations for characters, different glasses for entering the Persona world and extra menu voiceovers consisting of Mitsuru, Yosuke, Aigis, and Teddie.

Thanks, Siliconera.
