I think I've bought GalCiv 2 multiple times. It's ok though, the game is amazing, so i'm fine with that.
Have you ever bought a game multiple times?

Alan Wake, Command and Conquer 3, Mass Effect, and Trine on Steam because I bought them on console before I had a decent gaming PC, and wanted to experience the superior PC version
All the Oddworld games on Steam, because I'd been wanted to play them again, and it was easier than finding my original discs and hoping they still worked. In the case of the two that were on original Xbox, I remember reading that one or both of them weren't compatible with the Xbox 360.
Command and Conquer Red Alert 3 on Steam because I originally bought retail and wanted to get a version without Securom for my second decent gaming PC.
Final Fantasy 7 8 and 9 because my original discs stopped working due to scratches. I bought replacement discs for all three, but the replacement FF8 stopped working eventually too, so I bought it a third time from the PSN.
Also The Darkness because it 'disappeared' while I was living in shared accommodation at uni.

I have a bad habit of buying games, getting bored with them, selling them, and a couple of short months later getting nostalgic and buying them again, starting the cycle over.
To give you an idea of how ridiculous this gets, I've bought and sold and rebought Crysis 2 FOUR times.

Only one I can think of is Shadow of the Colossus.
I had it for the PS2 and loved the holy fuck out of it. It is in my top 5 favorite games. Way back in 2006 or 2007 I lent it to a friend and when he gave it back the game would always freeze at the second colossus, the one on the beach.
I tried everything, but that was it for the game, it was dead. So with the release of the ICO HD collection, I couldn't turn it down. I wanted my Shadow and I had never played ICO before, so it was a great purchase. Although I haven't played either of them yet...I have to get on that soon. After I beat Dead Space which might take a month...uhg.
*Games that I AM thinking of getting though that I have owned in the past is the Warcraft 3 battlechest. I loved those games but played the shit out of them until I finally started getting this error mid-way through the campaign of the first game. Then I lost my frozen throne disc, so I might think about grabbing up that game again.
Wish it was on steam...damn blizzard.

I have about three legit copies of King's Bounty: The Legend and 1 bootlegged copy (does that balance out my karma?). One from gog.com, then I got KB with KB:AP, and then all three again anyways for Cross-worlds (that means 2 KB: AP). I bought KB on gog.com because of the boobies advertisement, then I bootlegged a copy of AP, loved it, then bought the Gold Edition (why not? It was only a dollar or so more). I needed Crossworlds, so I bought the diamond edition for the same logic as Gold.
Two copies (gog.com versions and OG CD versions) of Arcanum, Fallout, Baldurs Gate 1/2, Planescape, and Neverwinter Nights. 2 hard copies of Fallout 2.
I also have 2 Iron Grip Warlords.

I bought Diablo 2 at least three times, maybe four. I've accidentally destroyed one of the disks more than once. I also recently purchased a digital copy, so I won't have to go through that again. I have two copies of Borderlands, one on PC and one on XBOX 360. Bought Red Dead Redemption on PS3 and 360. Same with SF4. I've had a couple copies of Castlevania: SOTN. Lost the original, bought it on 360. Three copies of Vagrant Story, two hard, one digital. FF IX twice...
Christ, I really need to get better organized.

KoTOR and Battlefront; also Civ IV.
Had them on DVD; lost/sold the dvds and later bought them on steam. Do not regret.
For consoles, Phantasy Star Zero (because 3 characters was not enough for me). Also, the original Pokemon games.
Captcha: Extraordinary Starts Here.

Ever since I got myself a gaming-PC in May last year, I have expanded my steam-game collection quite heavily, and I can definitely say that I've bought plenty of games that I already had on the Xbox 360 at the time of buying them, such as:
*Lost Planet (My disk got scratched on the Xbox, leaving me unable to play the first few levels of the campaign)
*GTA IV
*Saint's Row 2
*Left 4 Dead
*The Orange Box (understandable)
*All of the Call of Dutys from the first Modern Warfare to Black Ops
*Borderlands
*Fallout 3
*Fallout New Vegas
*Dead space
*Battlefield: Bad Company 2
*Alien vs Predator
*Mass Effect 3 (Why have 2 of this, you ask? Well, let's say that I'm not willing to pay for a Gold-membership on Xbox Live just to play a single game's multiplayer.
*and not one that I have on PC or anything, but the first and Second Sonic Games I have on XBLA and on a Sega Genesis Collection on the PS3.
*and also XBLA's Banjo Kazooie + Tooie and the N64 Versions.
I know that there are way more games that I've bought more than once, but these are just the ones that I have on that old Xbox of mine.

I bought Star Wars: Jedi knight jedi academy 2 times, first time when it got out and secondly on Steam, because the disk of my old copy cracked :/.
Funny enough, I also bought Portal and Team Fortress 2 twice. When the orange box came out, the only game I was interrested in was Portal and after seeing a seperate copy of Portal at a local store, I immediately bought it. About a year later I bought TF2 as I got interessted in it and finally perhaps a year from then, I bought The Orange Box because I got interessted in Half-life due to the obsesive watching of Freeman's mind.
There might've been at least one other game I bought twice, but I can't say for certain :/

I've bought all of the Pokemon remakes. Also, I've bought Company of Heroes multiple times (steam and non-steam versions).
