Biggest Waste of money you've ever spent?

self explanatory

$680 for a glorified DVD player.

 

[Blanks]

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

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.

 

[Aesir23]

Spore.

As well as Jaws Unleashed, $60 for a game with a short storyline and absolutely no replay value.

 

[Vasdema]

GTA IV

...and my Brother Multi-Function Centre. The thing cleans itself more often than a cat. Once it burnt through an ink cartridge that I'd only printed 50 pages on.

I once bought a printer for $70, which was a good deal. Except it ran self-tests until it ran out of ink. Replacement cartridges cost nearly as much as buying a new printer. The printer has sat unused in a boxsince then. These days it's just easier to email documents, and anything I need hardcopy of gets printed at work. If I need prints of photos I can take a USB drive to a photo place, it's more common than taking in a roll of actual film now that everyone uses digital cameras.

 

[LongAndShort]

Ghost Recon 2. Though I'd enjoy it, but it just turned into annoying, repetitive crap.

 

[The Youth Counselor]

The strip club.

Luckily someone else brought me spore so it was a waste of their money but the biggest waste of money i've spent is my laptop that is so useless and dull.

 

[SaunaKalja]

I bought a science book that came with a software for about 50?. I registered the software online in my name, but it turned out I never really needed the book nor the software. FARK!

 

[Neosage]

A deck of pokemon cards when I was 11, it cost me a whole £10.00....

 

[blipblop]

my wedding

Why is it that I have a funny feeling that this is going to be a /spore thread?. I kinda liked the game. Maybe it's because I missed all the hype about it and brought it because I randomly spotted it on a store shelf that I didn't get my hopes shattered.

OT: I never brought it but I received my PS3 as a gift a week before the Slim was released. It sure was someone's waste of money but not mine. Then again, I haven't turned my PS3 on since I finished Uncharted. Bollocks!

spore

I bought the galactic $80 box set, i was so sure this game would be everything it was hyped up to be, Ive played it once went from cell to space in about 5 hours and havent touched it since

 

[Ben Legend]

PS3 for about £90. First hand too. And so far i've probably spent about 2 hours on it. But, as soon as FF XIII Versus and Kingdom Hearts 3 are out, its win win win.

But for me its normally clothes, I spend money on them, wear them once or twice, then decide I don't like them anymore.

A teenage boy with cash is an easy target.
