"The purchase you most regret"

We all do it sometimes. When you buy things you really shouldn't have, and you regret it, normally selling it on eBay for 50-75% of it's original price.


So, what purchase do you regret the most?

I regret buying my US GC. I sold it on eBay a month ago for about 50% of it's original price. Painful.

You used to love your XBox.

Buying the entire 24 series 1 box set to impress a girl. I spent 4 months going after her and when I finally built up the courage to ask her out I went towards her and banged into this other girl (Amy)... we started dancing and I've been going out with her for 6 months now.

As for this other girl, well she became one of my best friends and i constantly put her down because she is such a whiny little brat. Wasted £50.

And Mary if you're reading this... sorry you're not really a whiny little brat.

Talking of 24 I better go watch it.

Night all.

I bought a cheap 'gold plated' one from Dixons, allows up to five connections into the one socket on the TV - my picture and sound quality is just as high!

Infact, I've got that scart block connected to a SoundStation 3, then to my TV!

No loss in picture quality at all.

I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Those scart lead switcher/adapter things really lower the picture quality. It is most noticeable if you are watching DVDs. You can buy models with built in signal boosters but they are very expensive.

Why do you need a seperate telly for your X-Box, can't you just switch scart leads around?

I have my X-Box/PS2/GC/DC/MegaDrive and DVD Player, all in the same room. I use the same telly for them all, I just switch cables around a lot.But I did see a scart lead adaptor in ASDA for just £15 which I'll pick up soon.

S.C.A.R.S for the N64. What a pile of doggy doings! Thank goodness for GAMES 10 day returns policy. It must of been the biggest pile of **** ive EVER, EVER played! Utter C*ap.

My worst regret is buying a PS2 and then continuing to try games for it which I ended up disliking. Had to trade my P2 in with 9 games and a memory card just to get an Xbox. I wish I had waited and just got the Xbox.
