Xbox 360....
It blew up the first time I used it
The replacement, I got for free but it came down with a case of red ring o' death and I had to return it.
But they wouldn't give me a refund. So they siphoned 500 bucks out of me.
Great job, Microsoft. (pets PS3 Slim)

51 ? for The Sims 3 Collector's Edition. It was my first The Sims game... Playing it only got me frustrated and depressed about my life.

Did it literally explode? Methinks you'd possibly get a good legal case out of it if it did.

On-topic, I have to give the same answer I always give for these threads. 25 to Life... *glares at 14 year old me*

Preodered TOO HUMAN - 65 dollars gone

My Xbox 360, including wireless adapter and live, total cost was $490

In my opinion it was a huge waste, cause that money could have been used to buy a PS3 slim which would save me $160 because PS3 has built in wireless and a free PSN

Guild Wars games...I played every one for exactly 30 minutes
I'm going to have to ask what didn't you like. They're so cheap now anyways.

Mine was Empire Earth III, EEII was epic, EEIII was pathetic. I want my $40 back.

Well I liked it more than...MU and it was creative but just another stiff and boring MMORPG with lots and lots of grind...liked it at the beginning but when I reached lvl 20 and tried some pvp I was amazed when I beated almost everybody I saw (I was playing a dervish the most)

My old 1998 Mazda 626.
I'll never own a Mazda again. Ever. That thing wasn't worth what I paid for it, never mind the ridiculous amount of repairs that it needed after about two months of driving it. I wanted my 1991 Plymouth Acclaim back. The one with no muffler, broken power windows, no radio, no air conditioning, push button start (Since the starter was busted), roofing tar keeping the gas line from leaking, and coat hanger hook to open the hood. That thing was a piece of crap, but I could drive it through a hail of bullets and it would keep running.
The Mazda I couldn't drive through a light breeze without a $500 repair.
I hate Mazda.

I used to be into a sport called mountain boarding (which is like snowboarding but with wheels and on dirt), i blew out £200 quid on a brand new board a year ago and immediately afterwards the nearest mountain board centre to me closed down because they forgot to get planning permission to build another dirt ramp, which is basically a mound of dirt in their own field. Now it just sits in the corner of my room gathering dust.

And that is why i despise my local council.

And the annoying thing is that the council should be encouraging places like the mountain board centre and skate parks because they give the youth something to do, they reduce crime, so what do the council do? they close it down the minute they get wind that they might be putting dirt on top of other dirt without permission

Bought some paint that was apparently mislabeled, I almost melted a part of a model kit due to a reaction.

Buying Beyblade on the PS1. It was only $2, but every penny was wasted.

I'm usually pretty good with money, so that's really all I can think of.
