What is something that You regret buying and it haunts you to this day?

[Stan4d]

2 sealed copies of Super Mario RPG remake for some reason

Why would you buy 2?

This piece of shit.

The installer burned to the CD had the wrong settings in the config file, essentially breaking the installer.I had to copy the files to my PC, edit the config file with the right settings, and burn the game back to a DVD-R and then it would install fine. So I had to keep the new installation disc I made in with it.

After all that bullshit, I just gave up on the game.
Oh, and it's bundled with the infamous "Games for Windows" crap, so enjoy fighting with that too.

$20 down the shitter, along with my dignity.

This looks bootlegged. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few bootlegs in my time.

This reminds me, I bought Blur for PC, but I bought an international version because it was cheaper. Likely a bootleg, but who's to say. I had a time getting it to work the way I wanted. However, the game did run at 60fps on PC, so it may have been the best version.

I remember Blur was a daily deal on Steam for $2.50 USD. I passed on it not knowing that it would be delisted soon after. That one still stings a little.

"Be sure to disable any form of antivirus so no files get corrupted"

One sign that they definitely slipped malware into that disc.

It's not my picture, it's a google image, but I definitely bought it new, boxed, in retail.

And I regret not buying Blur on Steam, I WANT to buy a legit copy, but nobody will sell it to me. Piracy is the only way I can play it on PC, and it sucks.

given to me for hacking a psp of a friend, never tried it.
but the thing i regret buying the most is my 1993 Honda civic del sol si. It is my dream car and i wasn't a money pit, surprisingly. i wanted to work on it myself, but i was force to pay to get it fix. car runs awesome, i drive it occasionally. to me however, it lost a little bit of magic. did not help that i got unemployed after fixing it.

Yeah, it allegedly sold under a million units, so it was another nail in Bizarre Creations' coffin. it was a genuinely fun game, and the prototype footage of Blur 2 just added salt to the wound. Bizarre Creations deserved more credit for their work.

I regret buying everything now.

I regret buying you.

But I've been haunted lately by this towel that came alive and had face in it....

Mythical Ancient Ghost I suppose like Luke would say...a case for X-Files

Remember kids... If a product is free to hook you in, then congrats... You're the product.

Now that you mention it, maybe kind of. But who knows. I had a pretty bad fever when it happened....

Glad I learned this lesson early on.

Me too, learned it back when smartphones were gaining traction in 2008.
