I remember when I bought my Metal Gear Bundled PS3 off eBay. I also bought a couple of games and Devil May Cry 4 actually arrived before the PS3. Maybe that counts.



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:

I bought The Legend of Zelda before I actually purchased my NES, but only by a few hours; the store was all out of the NES/SMB bundle that I wanted and I had to trek to another to find it, lol.

However, yes, I bought my copy of Ghouls n' Ghosts for the Genesis before I actually owned the console due to the fact that I already knew I was receiving one as a gift in a few days and I couldn't wait to crack open the box and check out the booklet. Hey, I was 14...



Last black Friday I bought Kingdom Hearts 3DS; still don't have a 3DS.



Bought a used copy of Disgaea 3 years ago without having a PS3. Almost bought the Vita port again without having a Vita...

Well, I usually buy my systems on day 1, so nope :)

And against all odds, your avatar is a 3DS game...



got i think a NFS game, Mario and Pokemon Emerald (GBA) (not all at the same time but close) months before i got mi first DS, a DS lite like 3 months after it came out.



I bought Twilight Princess for Wii late November 2006 and bought the Wii january 2007. Last year I got my PS3 for an insane price due to a pricing mistake and the shop needed some time to get more PS3's (about 1500 where ordered in a matter of hours lol). By the time my PS3 arrived (took about a month) I already had Demons Souls, Dark Souls, Uncharted 3 and Final Fantasy 13 (mistake) at home.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.
