Have you ever bought a game even before buying the game console itself?

I had a PS2 game collection before ever buying the console. I got the first one because my roommate (who doesn't play games) pointed out a daily doorcrasher sale at Futureshop for $50 off The Getaway: Black Monday which had just released. After that I kept buying games when I saw good deals, but I didn't buy a PS2 until the next price drop.
