And post what item you purchased, as well as why you felt guilty.

I bought Sly Cooper 1-3 on amazon.com two frickin days before Sony's press conference. I could have killed something after that announcement.

It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for the fact that I don't live in America, so I have to pay extra for shippin' and handlin.

Buying Super Mario World for the VC. The only controllers you can play the game with is a GC controller and the classic controller. I don't have a classic controller, so I tried playing it with a GC controller. The game is completely unplayable using a GC controller. The run button is the Y button and you have to use the B button to jump. This means you have the hold down the run button with your index finger and jump with your thumb, it is awkward and impossible to play. Good luck trying to do a spin jump using the X button, god the controls were so ****ed up.

I have yet to feel buyer's remorse. I research all my purchases thoroughly.

A telescope, A giant Lava-Lamp, A new mattress, my ipod touch, and the 2-XL (a toy robot I remembered from my childhood that nostalgia got the better of me over).

When I purchased The Early Edition RSS reader on my iPad. Pulse is much better. Should have gone with it in the first place.

I was thinking about getting my sister an iPod Touch for her graduation. What is it that you don't like?

It's not that I don't like it, its just I never seem to use it. I'll listen to music faithfully for a week then it will sit there and collect dust for a month or two. If your sister loves music, or movies or whatever than I'd assume it would make her a wonderful graduation gift.

When I bought an Immortal song that was incorrectly labeled on iTunes. Now I always check the short clip to make sure songs are correctly labeled. Do not buy 'grim and frostbitten kingdoms' on iTunes. It's a trap! :x

Do not really recall one. Usually very slective on things I buy. Though I do remember a book called Next that I hated a few years back. Not much remorse like at all though as it was only around 8 or 9 dollars . What about you TC?

A while back I was at a gamestop and I was looking at two N64 games, Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M. and Goldeneye. Guess what I bought. I also bought Sealab 2021 Season 2 on DVD and it wasn't nearly as funny as I thought it would be.

I only paid 20 dollars for my 32X. I may have regretted it if I had paid full price, but 20 dollars is well worth it. Knuckles' Chaotix, Blackthorne, Kolibri, Tempo, Mortal Kombat II, NBA Jam, Shadow Squadron, Star Wars Arcade, Virtua Fighter, and Virtua Racing are worth the amount I paid for the system.

It is much more major than your guys purchases... I bought a 1990 300zx...I admit it is awesome, looks good, fast etc., butwhen it comes down to it I want something else. It always seems to have problems and it is just extra stress thrown on me, and Im only 17 so I don't really have much money to throw into it, should have bought a Ford Focus :?

EDIT: I also bought a 160GB PS3 last year for $500 like a few days before the slim was announced, which was $200 cheaper. It was a pretty insane bundle I got though, it came with Uncharted, Killzone 2, Little Big Planet and Season 1 of Sarah Connor Chronicles so I guess maybe it was't so bad.

A bottle of Canadian Club Classic. Normally I go for the Reserve, which is a couple bucks more a bottle and reasonably smooth for a cheap Canadian whiskey. But it was all out when I went to the liquor store. The Classic is garbage, and tastes like drain cleaner.

Most of the Playstation Network games I've bought. Mainly because I rarely play them. (Except Fat Princess!)

And Borderlands. More like Boringlands...

My HP laptop. I blew all of my graduation money on that thing for college, and the very first day of college it had already screwed itself over. Even after I sent it in to get fixed it got more and more problems until it finally stopped working altogether.

It's the only computer I've ever owned that could make my Nintendo Wi-Fi USB Connector work. So yup, once it went out I lost Wi-Fi. My new computer is great, but since it runs on Windows 7, it won't work. Stupid Nintendo.
