i'm in the middle of The Golden right now, and love it. 

I just finished it about 2 months back and will probably start a new playthrough sometime this year. I want to wait till after FFX before I jump back in as I don't want to be stuck between both. The ending I got took me 50 hours I think but from what I see there's at least another possible 10 hours to play for the good ending. Great game

I have not, but since I'm not a huge RPG fan, but do enjoy anime and hear that Persona 4 has great presentation, this intrigues me.

Yeah the reviews look great. I've love to see an episode before I buy but it's not on crunchyroll or anything I could find

Ive been fighting temptation to not buy it, Ill prolly break soon...

Yeah i'm thinking the same. I think mentally if it drops to $30, i'm happier to buy for whatever reason

I have seen the anime, sadly I did not play the games yet. I really liked the anime though. The music was awesome and it seems to be very closely related to the game. I think there were a few changes at the end and not sure if the released DVD has the new ending they released as well. I think there are two different endings for the anime.

Different endings to the anime is awesome as it's likely it matches the different endings you can get in the game. Very cool. I'm glad to hear you liked it even without playing the game, it's a good sign

I've been interested in getting this, but I'm resisting the urge and hoping that the price'll go down a little.

I'm in the same boat currently. I've had both collections on my Amazon wishlist for a week or so now and the price varies up and down by a dollar or so but nothing major. My magic number is $30. It's a matter of dollars but damn it its the principle of the thing  Collection 2 is slightly cheaper so figuring that in, i'll probably end up getting both if I get any at all.

I haven't finished the game so I refuse to watch it

Good idea I think. How far in are you?

Not far, i had a few dream sequences

I think the game starts somewhat slow but really picks up the pace about 10 hrs in. Such a long game but so good and worth the time investment. Hope you stick with it!

I have collection 1 & 2 on blu ray but I haven't watched them yet so I can't help you out there.  I'm pretty sure you need both unless you only want to watch half of the story.

I agree. February looks like a slow month for me entertainment wise so I think i'm going to buy them then. Also, as its a good month from the holidays shopping splurge, I feel better about it

Hmm, I should probably play the game first. Well, I'll need to buy it then. Well, I should probably play my copy of P3 Portable for my PSP 

I might get around to trying P3 Portable at some stage seeing as the PSP download works on the Vita.I've heard good things about it also. I was actually tempted to get Persona 2 on PSN yesterday but decided against with my preorder of FFX coming out in a few months. Too many games as always.... 

I still want to play this game first before I try to watch it. But then again I watch Valkyre Chronicles which promoted me to finally buy the game and delete teh demo I had of it.

In this case, the game at least is much cheaper!
