Poll: Your most guilt-ridden gaming purchase?

[Jacob.pederson]

Two things - MW2: Hardened Edition. I don't regret getting that, because I enjoyed MW2 and CoD Classic, but a few days after purchasing it, I saw it receive a £20 price cut from the website I bought it from.

Secondly, Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot. It's awful. I remember saying to myself as I downloaded it 'it's not like I need another reason to play Borderlands.' I was given a reason not to.

I gave Mad Moxxi's the pass. But the other two DLC's come highly recommenced.

My gaming rig, close to £1500. Then again I've a 32" LCD HDTV....and 5.1 Digital Dolby Surround Sound....

My Gaming Set-up, none of it is needed but all of it is loved like a child.

Yea...I recently got a new PC and it handles everything. On max. And still runs smooth.
And it's my little precious.

Buying a theme for my xbox dashboard. Silly silly silly.

Yea, I don't even like to add up the cost of my sli GTX280s. Not to mention the wattage they pull. BUT, Playing LFD in stereoscopic 3d . . . priceless.

Oh man, my set-ups got a 750 Watt PSU, then the 2 monitors, PS3 is on about 1/5 the time the PC is too, sound kit and the rest, the electricity I pull in would cause 3rd world countries to suffer black-outs!

Yeah, I've been enjoying the other DLCs. More the Zombie one. I never liked the Borderlands vehicle combat that much, but its still excellent.

Sucks about the PS3, though. I picked mine up when the Slims came out. With the recent ApocalyPS3, it was probably wise.

Probably buying my games consoles and computers. It is getting rather ott now...

I spent a while justifying the necessity of a 360 to complement my PS3... but I'm not sorry.

 

[Jacob.pederson]

Prolly my HDMI cable THAT I CAN'T EVEN USE or the fact that I just bled my dad out for 250 dollars... FOR A FUCKING AMAZING TV... Compared to my old one.

I got this 12 foot HDMI cable that works great unless you set 1080p resolution. Then it pukes. Since I got it for connecting the ps3 to the 1080p Screen, kinda delegates it to tangly paperweight duty.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

A PSP.

I have only enjoyed one game on it. (Chains of Olympus)

 

[Meggiepants]

I REGRET NOTHING!

Couldn't have said it better myself! I love my gaming setup. I have no guilt or shame about it. It brings me such joy! I sometimes even talk to it. What a good little gaming setup you are! Yes you are! Go away cat, it's the game's turn for attention. I'll throw that sock for you later!

Ahem... erm, I think I have a problem.

 

[theownerer]

ODST. Thought id give the halo series a chance I played through it then played multiplayer and now im lucky my tv still works.

Oh that's just piss. lol Tell me it's not a rocketfish. I just can't use mine cuz my 360 is ancient and I don't have an HD cable box.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

I once chose to buy Spyro 1 over MGS1: VR Missions.

I hate myself for it.

Calumon: I don't buy, I just play!

[sup]No... Calumon is not a Pirate[/sup]

Ditto: Cept in reverse. The PS3 shelf is a little slim now but fattening rapidly, Currently having a blast with the GOW retreads. The Last Guardian is what really swung me into purchase mode though.

It's actually a no-noname from newegg.com I figured a cable is a cable oops.

 

[Cowabungaa]

My purchasing binge at Steam's Christmas sale. I bought way too many games during that week, way too many. Seriously Steam, why must you tempt me like that?!

Well I hear Monster Cables are like heavenly but pricey. The guy at best buy seemed pretty convince that Rocketfish is good.

 

[SextusMaximus]

Why is there no 'none' option?

I haven't bought anything like that for video games.

That Christmas sale was absolute gamer Heaven. I went nuts. Like Dark Forces II nuts.

one game is all you need, that is...final fantasy dissidia

i can't tell you how many hours i poured into that game within a 3 week span, easily 100 hours, my psp battery was on fire at one point


OT: ill see a cheap game..and its soo tempting to buy, and i get it, and i play it a few times, then it hits the shelf or i sell it again...that time was utterly wasted
