Too far?

Currently only out in Japan, Konami just released their newest game "Love Plus" for the Nintendo DS that is classified as a dating simulation game, letting the user "court" several different virtual girls and in the end (hopefully) one of which will start to fall for you.

Then in real time, the gamer has to take his fake girlfriend out on dates and even start "planning" the couple's future together. Depending on how good you are at the game, she might ask for a kiss (which requires touching her on the lips with the stylus) or even ask you to whisper compliments and praise to her via the DS microphone).

Love Plus apparently has generated a lot of talk in Japan, both good and bad, as some wives are getting angry that their husbands are 'cheating' on them by spending too much time with their virtual significant others. Of course it's just a pixelated 2-D girl on a screen, but apparently that's enough to cause tension to mount among spouses. What the heck does this mean for society's future? Crazy talk, that.
