Interesting how he used P4. I might actually get the game after I get a PS3 or 360.

It makes me think of other games where you have characters that are... odd to say the least. IIRC, Square tried this with one of their games and it didn't end well.

Reason is most of the time its not that the character is gay, its that he's "the gay guy". Persona4 is a rare example where their sexuality is an aspect instead of a defining feature. Listing homosexuals in games isn't too hard, listing homosexuals that aren't just steriotypes of homosexuals is ALOT harder.

... I just remembered... The PS3 stopped playing PS2 games didn't it?

Yes. Luckily, you can get a used PS2 for like thirty bucks.

And it'll work just fine unless it's actually physically damaged. The lifespan of those things is amazing.
