Atlus Co., Ltd announced recently that they have signed an exclusive deal with Blockbuster Video. In the agreement, they revealed that Kartia : The Word of Fate has been delayed slightly, but gamers can expect to be able to rent the full game on August 7th, almost two weeks before the title is distributed to retailers on August 17th.

   What's the reason behind this? Presumably, Blockbuster Video gets more business, and Atlus increases interest in the game by offering it early. Expect more info and a review of this promising strategy RPG before the rental release!
