"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.

I liked it. I got it for about 5 quid though. Bomberman meets some PC bomb game where you have to cover the most squares with your bombs colour.

Frantic Flea on the SNES.

A few years ago, where my parents controlled all my purchases, I had the rare chance to get a £30 game... and it was between this and some Phantom game which previously got 70% in a mag. Suffice to say I chose the wrong one.

Mine was probably 'The Last Report' on the PSone.
99.99% of the time I know about the game I'm about to purchase, but I saw it on the shop shelf and thought it looked intersting/novel, so I bought it.

It's a kind of point and click adventure where I think you play a newspaper reporter if I remember correctly. The downside to the game was that it was utter crap. The puzzles made little sense, you died often without knowing how or why you perished, and there were lots of niggly little flaws that made playing a more horrid experience than wiping your bum with barbed wire instead of toilet paper.

In the shop it looked good, but the reality was that it was crap.
I have since learnt my lesson and don't buy games on blind faith.

I regret buying my XBox.

Could have saved 160£ a year ago.

I remember getting Turok: Rage Wars as an SR free gift, playing it for about 10 mins when I got home, then realising it was crap.

I was going to buy Turok Evolution, but I chose it for a GAD instead. Only played the first and second level, and then ended up not playing on it again.

I actually liked Evolution, thought it was ok, and was getting quite far.

But then I played Metroid Prime.

Tropico for PC, bought it last year for £20, played it for a couple of hours then forgot it, to add insult to injury seeing it priced at £4.99 in HMV yeserday so i'll never be able to get rid of it!

Xbox

Becasue it is just sitting here under my PC sourcing all its power (err...collecting dust)

Only becasue I dont have a Tv to use it on mind. TV in my room is linked up to a PS2 and the big screen downsairs is linked to a DVD player/Amiga 600/GameCube/Video/Cable box

I will get a new TV for the spare room and hook the xbox up to that...sometime this year.
