Yes. The first time I bought a Control for my Gamecube before the console, because a friend of mine was going to bring it to me from USA and she was going to arrive 2 months later, but the control was available at a good price in my country.
And Legend of Zelda for the Wii, because my girlfriend want it for christmas but the Wii was out of stock everywhere. So I bought the game I had to wait to buy the console.
