I own only Nintendo systems, so there's nothing to regret

My Wii. I ended up getting 4 wiimotes, 4 nunchucks, SSBB, SMG, MK and MP8 but I've hardly played it since last year. Seemed like a good idea at the time. MK is still fun though when people come over. I also regret getting Warhawk and SF2HD.

I regret buying my PS3 because of how much it interferes with schoolwork.

And that explains why you regret buying the Wii Radiant and Dirty, you both have no games for it.

Why complain about a console when you won't even open up your wallet and get some games?

I regret playing $399.99 for my 20 GB 360. Especially since Microsoft has been price cut happy for the past 2 years. I also regret buying several 360 games but I'm not in the mood to make a list.



Pixel Art can be fun.

Used PS2 with Kingdom Hearts and a 128 data card for $80. :P

ok to be fair ANYTHING I buy for myself I suffer buyers remorse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buyer's_remorse

Though I don't remorse over buying my Wii/PS1. I do on my DS. TV, PDA, computer components... most things over $50. Though I can spend $500 on my wife and not blink an eye. So I suspect I didn't buy the Wii/PS1 for myself as I bought it for my family.



Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.

The only game I can honestly say I regret getting is Kane and Lynch. The game itself was ok, but those controls made it unplayable for me. Oh, and Rag Doll Kung Fu:Fists of Plastic was a rip off!(I got it when sprint was doing a promotional give away. It was free)

Consoles:
Buying an 80GB PS3 less than 3 months before the arrival of the PS3 Slim. I was so annoyed by that. I should of waited and I would have been able to buy a few more PS3 exclusive games that are worth playing.
I do not acknowledge I even own a PS3. It gathers dust. Oh the shame.

Games:
Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)- terrible game worst game I have ever played. You could not even control your character due to the stupid camera. The gameplay and the whole game was terrible. Sonic in 3D no, no, no. Sonic in 2D is the way to go.
