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.

No, I did it without cheats.

Third level, that's the deranged cows or the aliens?

I can't remember how much I paid for Turok 2, but it was a lot more than £7. I've yet to see any FPS on a console that's at all playable, hopefully Metroid will lay that ghost to rest \o/

F1WGP for the N64 was the most astonishingly unfinished heap of %&$# I ever had the displeasure of buying, closely followed by Urban Strike on the SNES, which may as well have been a direct Atari 2600 port for how smoothly it ran. The former clinches it though due to the recommendations it got in 'quality' publications such as Edge (8/10) - what poppycock.

My brother got F1WGP- very, very poor. But then again I've never really been a fan of racing games, let alone F1.

I remember Urban Strike. It was terrible. I barely progressed past level two. I was young, but still, it was poor. Stupid Russian Submarine. Bah.

I would also say South Park for the N64 - £50 I paid for it and it was terrible! One of the worst games Ive ever played

I like F1WGP. But Monaco Grand Prix was better.
Oh yeah, I forgot Resident Evil on the GC.
What a huge pile of wanktoss

PS1. I got it because I wanted to play a wrestling games main game with more thna one player. I was dissapointed with everything. Style over content everytime.

Driver 1+2 (s**t)
Smackdown 1+2 (see driver)
Matt Hoffman (see driver)

Only good one was thefirst bit of Die Hard Trilogy and Risk.

It's a bad console when the only full game on it you like is RISK!

When you're young it's cool. You don't know it's fake. I wish nobody had told me it was fake. It was so cool......
