Biggest Waste of money you've ever spent?

A Panda showercap. It has ears on it... yet I have baths not showers... It's awesome, but that's £6 i'll never see again.

PS3. $700 (AUD), I've played 3 games on it, and only one of those for more than an hour. Granted, the one game I have really enjoyed was Uncharted, and I plan to get Uncharted 2, but still.

Then my friend you need Infamous, and the new batman game.

My wastes of money:
WII (its vile and all the games for it are gimmics)
Xbox360 (Red lights of death AFTER my warranty expired)
Warhammer space hulk (£60 and I don't have anyone to play it with)
Yu-gi-oh (spent millions buying the cards, and it was pointless)

On the other hand, the things I thought where great vaule where:
Ps3 (plays dvd's better than my TV and most of the games for it I picked up cheap on amazon)
My Transformers collection (yes I am that sad, but hey there well made)
My space marines (fully painted for £185, and they look amazing)

Gameboy Advanced.

Not because it was bad, but because there aren't (or weren't) ANY shops in my town I could buy games for it. The results? I had to dl roms I wanted and had to play on a PC. Otherwise I was stuck with a wonderful collection: Mario, Spyro or Pokemon. I had Golden Sun for few seconds until I found out that I can't save it. I had to return it to the shop to repair it, since there was not a single copy left (they had only 1 to begin with).

Other than that, Neverwinter Nights 2. Destroyed my memories about NwN 1 and I couldn't even play it online because there were only empty, dull servers.

Alone in the Dark for the Xbox 360. Wish I hadn't bothered.

Empire: Total War. I wanted so much to like it, pre-ordered the ce and once I got it played it maybe twice and went back to playing Rome instead

$200 in movie props I never used, ever!!!

The PS3 slim I bought...
I thought it would be a good idea since it is a blurayplayer
and mediastation and a console in one package.

But it is loud and slow :-(

you must have super hearing cause i can't hear mine at all and it's only slow on the internet from what i've seen

now the 360 on the other hand that has the loudest fan i've ever heard

My Wii...

 

[LeonLethality]

WoW I got it but never actually used it its still just sitting there... eerie

 

[Landblom]

For me its probally 60 dollars on the game WET and all those months of paying to play World of Warcraft and rarely going on due to having a job and school.

Edit: Adding on there the 30+ songs I bought for Rock Band 2. I moved on from music games.

My Wii, though it wasn't my decision, my mum got it for us for christmas, I told her to not get the Wii and buy something for herself, but oh well.

 

[Katherine Kerensky]

Probably for me, in this shell's time... just Prototype. ($£)40, or something like that.
This computer cost a fair bit... a lot more... but it isn't a waste.

The wii. I haven't as much as touched the thing in 5 fucking months. Even then when i used to play it I would play brawl for like, an hour, then remember why i never play the wii anymore.
