For me it's my portable DVD player...it was on sale for $50 so I bought it. I have only used it twice.

    I bought Metal Slug for my GBA:SP because it was reduced to like $20.

    That game is so ridiculously hard on GBA that I gave up and haven't touched it since.

    Yeah... that's all I got.

    Man, so many stupid impulse buys to list.

    Uh, I bought this recently. It's really nice, but I will never use most of it's features past the first time.

    My grossly over-priced 3rd party iPod car adapter is the best $100 I've spent... so I guess it wouldn't belong in this thread.

    A $60 MP3 player from Radio Shack. I returned it though. It could hold about 2 or 3 songs at a time and you had to buy the memory upgrades. What was I thinking!?

    oh man, forgot about my van I bought

    $1200 cash money

    drove it for about a month

    motherfucking ford econoline 350

    goddamn thing had a 460 under the hood

    that is a ridiculously huge goddamn engine

    the thing literally got 4 miles to the gallon

    I called it the Short Bus, because it was always packed with my retarded friends

    I ended up parking it for a year or two and then selling it for $400 to this guy that claimed to hunt Bigfoot.

    Yeah, it was awesome for the 2 hours battery life you got out of 6 double A's. Also there were not that many good games besides that one.

    Do you remember what he looked like?

    Because I had a friend who claimed to have plans to hunt Bigfoot and shoot down UFOs with a .50 cal rifle.

    I always figured he was joking, and sometimes I played along.

    I wonder if he actually decided to go through with it. I hope so. Livin' the dream.

    City of Villains would be my friend's worst purchase.
    He bought the Collectors Edition, so he payed $10 more. He only played the game once, then lost all the little figures that came with the CE, then accidentaly snapped the disk in half so he couldn't sell it to his friend.
    What a waste of $70.

    i blew $300 on absolutely nothing at all

    spotted my ex the cash to cover a sudden tax payment that surprised her after cashing in some stocks or something, i don't remember
    it ended up being about 2 weeks before she dumped my ass

    that set back my plans of buying a Wii by months
