Poll: Your most guilt-ridden gaming purchase?

[thenumberthirteen]

Star trek Online: Deluxe Edition. Dear god. I LOVE Star Trek, but not really MMOs because of the subscription charge. I had high hopes, and it's just so... unimaginative. I've cancelled my subscription and am back to playing Bridge Commander a 2002 game that has better graphics, better gameplay, and more exciting battles than STO does 8 years later.

Guilt-ridden gaming purchase? Well, I sometimes feel guilty for spending $45 for Myst V when it launched, instead of waiting for the inevitable price drop a week or so later.

But I'm a fanboy, dammit, I had to have it THEN.

When I got ME2 Collectors Edition for the 360, only to realise that my comp actually could run it BETTER despite being below minimum system requirements -.-

I regret the time spent with civilization II-IV. It's not that I don't like to game, but I must have spent a work-year on these games.

Why would I feel guilty for buying something?

ODST. maybe Bioshock as well, simply because i never play them. ever. also (though i didn't buy it myself) my gamer chair...which broke a week after unwrapping.

All of my gaming decisions are educated as fuck because my income is so limited. So... not much to regret over here.

I've bought some games I was ashamed to own, play, and even returning them was a shameful journey. I will not name them here though, just too shameful.

MY PC. Loads of money spent and I don't use it enough to stress it much at all. Wasted power.

Mine was probably my PS3 as I forgot what bills I had/hadn't paid and so I ended up messing up my finances for about 3 months. Worth it though in the end.

My gaming PC for 13000kr.
My netbook for 6000kr.
My PS3.
My wii.

 

[MrPandarium]

Chose a 360 over a Ps3 because of the pricetag.....if only I had been patient

All the DLC I've bought. Probably something like up to £100 worth of DLC. Close second is how I'm considering pre-ordering two soft sack-boys (one for me, and one for my nephew that is due soon) for £10 each and a Bioshock 2 doll for £25.

I also have an Ezio model next to me, although I consider it too cool to be ashamed of.

My partial purchase of the Wii.
Why did I ever think I'd use that thing, I have no idea.

WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHYYYYYYYYYY

Gah it's so horrible! Why did I even buy it at full price!

Control Peripheral - meaning Guitar Hero 2 on PS2 and 3 on Wii. Really debating on selling them because I never play them anymore, yet I did the same with my PS1 and all the games and really regret that now...

 

[MiracleOfSound]

A PSP.

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

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

Final Fantasy is, alas, not to my taste.

I got Crisis Core for it and hated it. I just found it so repetitive and dull.

I also tried the one with the blonde guy, Tidus. Hated it too, and him.

I can see why people love them but it just does nothing for me.

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?!

Yeah, I know how that is... I still haven't touched most the games I bought from that...
