Post something that you really regret buying, and the cost of it. [img]http://www.yogee.com.au/cache_images/96861_ODST_Sniper_A_resized_0_0__90_1_.jpg[/img] $15 :smithicide:
[img]http://www.kingkahuna.com.au/pictures/4122/4/1193494-2.jpg[/img] This was somewhere in the range of A$500 when I bought it. It is only ever used when I have parties and/or movie nights at my house because it's so impractical and huge that I have to keep it out in my bungalow thing. That said, it's a very good beanbag. I've had it around 18 months and carried it around the house a bunch of times, there are no tears or even signs of wearing. I'd recommend it if you would actually intend on using it. A similar situation is my bike, I spent $850 on it and use it every day nearly, but it's just a shitty entry level dirt bike and I live in the inner city. I really should have thought about the fact that I'd never go out riding on it and that I really needed a road bike. I'm hopefully getting a road bike in a couple of weeks now. Edit: Update since this post. The beanbag (image is broken) is still useless as fuck. I can't get it into the house. I am selling the bike, I have a new roadbike that I am in love with and ride all the time.

Halo: Fall of Reach. It's a fun game, but I only enjoyed it while my friends played it. They have this bad habit of buying the latest/biggest game, playing that, then moving on and never touching it again. I purchased it for $46.97

[img]http://cache.kotaku.com/assets/resources/2006/07/dod-source-artist-render.jpg[/img] I hate it.
The most recent is Black Ops.
Halo: Reach Not because it's a bad game, I like Halo, but because I don't even have an Xbox of my own and I had essentially bought it to play system link with some friends the other night. $50.
Kane and Lynch 2. $5 beat it within 2 and a half hours.
Phantasy Star Universe (on day of release...what a monumental disappointment that was)

In a way, Black Ops.. I mean, it was great at first.. but after 15 hours of playing time, I'm so bored of it. [editline]29th November 2010[/editline] Gotta wait until people make maps/mods before I start playing again.
Borderlands. Bye Bye $60
[img]http://playgamesuk.com/WebRoot/StoreDaily/Shops/eshop173143/MediaGallery/Operation_Flashpoint_Dragon_Rising_Xbox_360.jpg[/img] Worst ripoff of the Battlefield games ever. It absolutely sucked. And it cost me $60.

[img]http://www.paulhobson.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/splinter-cell-conviction_cover.jpg[/img] Why oh why did I get this.
ID complete pack, it was about $70 and recently 80% of the games stopped working on my computer.

Black Xbox 360 controller, I bought it because I smashed my other one because of MW2 and the first game I played with it I cracked it open. God Damn It MW2
Portal 40$ It's a good game, but it's short and not in my taste

[img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14986999/WII_DETAIL.jpg[/img] I haven't touched it in a year.

Got tired of playing shitty new mario games and sonic with my brother. Thank goodness it broke because some dumbfuck jammed two discs and a stack of cards in it.
