Poll: Impulse Buying

[MKScorpion]

So the other day, I was watching Reservoir Dogs for the first time (yeah, I know) on TV. After the film was done, I enjoyed it so much that I immediately went onto Amazon and ordered the 15th Anniversary DVD. Now I sit here waiting anxiously for the DVD to be delivered to my house. =)

So my question is: have you ever impulse-bought anything either in-store or online?

EDIT: Another time, I went to Target to try and find a new game to play. This was last summer, so there wasn't anything really impressive. I saw The Darkness on the shelf and I had heard some good things about it, so I bought it. Second-best $20 I ever spent.

I do quite often for video games. Recently picked up Killer7 because it looked at me funny interesting. There have been many other times as well. Usually I will have heard some things about the game, but sometimes nothing.

I've never watched Reservoir Dogs... and yeah I bought an expensive LTD Edition game that was about £40 than I could really afford... that was a good day.

Back before I was a student and had a full time job, I used to go into HMV every few days and buy stuff for the sake of it, like anime box sets just because I could

I bought the special edition of Devil Summoner 2 when the clerk behind the counter mentioned that he had it in the back for $10 less than what my buddy paid for it. My buddy was also right next to me so I had to do it.

I'd only gone there for Guilty Gear: Accent Core+....which I also bought.

Times I bought something on impulse can be counted on two hands in my whole life, I think.
Most of the time I see if I really need the thing I want to buy and where it is the cheapest.
Yeah... I'm Dutch. What gave it away?

I impulse buy things all the time - on steam. Ironic, isn't it?

 

[MKScorpion]

Also, what in the world is Reservoir Dogs?

It's a movie by Quentin Tarantino. A damn good one at that.

-snip- It's a bit of a cult movie really. One of the best Tarantino movies http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105236/

Last time I definitely did this was for Prototype... It was worth it...

It's one of my favorite vices. I always buy crap without much forethought into it. One second I'm thinking about it, next thing I know, I'm walking back to my car with a sack in my hand.

It's a dangerous trap, and bad for my budget!

I went to Target to get a game and saw a barrel of $1 foam swords. I of course bought ten of them. Best $10 ever spent by anyone ever.

So I was in the campus playing on my computer when and suddenly a guy went into my room and said, "I'm going to buy a new laptop PC, wanna buy one too? I'm sure we can get discount.", and I was like "Sure"

One day later and I am now a PC richer.

 

[Gigaguy64]

Oh yea.

Anime:Samurai 7, now one of my favorites.

Games:Only a few times. i bought Megaman Battle Network 3:Blue because it was cheep and i wanted a new game.
One of the best decisions iv ever made.

Random Stuff:I was looking at Anime, saw a wooden Katana, bought it.

My worst Impulse buy is Cadbury Swiss Gateau .... yummy!

 

[Tharwen]

Yep. I bought Dune a few days ago because I'd heard good things of it and it was right there in front of me in the shop.

Also, Steam's weekend deals are responsible for far too much of this (but I think I may still have spent less than the full cost of a newly-released game on them in total).

 

[Riobux]

Some...Or most...I'm not sure which to be fair, but I buy a great deal of Steam games on impulse.
