  My top Money wasters of all time!

  Warlord2000's Money wasters!!!

  Ever bought something and wondered just what the point was of actually owning it? What the heck was I thinking that costs soooooo much and it’s mediocre at best??

  Well here they are!!

  1) PSP on launch day, pre ordered with Marvel Nemesis. Tsk tsk, I think I own like 2 PSP games, it’s too big for Music too small for Movies and the screen reflections could melt a hole in the Death star. Plus I can never find an appropriate situation to play the damned thing; I'm never in the bus long enough.

  2)Sega Genesis. So at about age 8 or maybe 9 I had been playing my NES since I was like 3 and I really loved it but one day this kid at school started blabbering how cool sonic was, so me being an utter moron spent three months of my life working my butt off cleaning my grandparents house and yard to get the money to buy a SEGA!!! Just for the express purpose of playing sonic. I bought maybe 3 games Sonic, Mortal Combat and some really crap Shak game. My parents let me do it as a "lesson in life".

  3) Superman 64, Being a total nerd since Birth I thought buying this game in 3D!!! Might let me be just like Superman from my beloved comics!! But alas I was sorely mistaken and not only that I wasted the primary gift slot on my Xmas wish list that year

  4) Play station 2, you may be wondering just how one of the worlds most popular and loved consoles is a waste of money, well when you already owned a Game cube and an Xbox it is, the only reason I got a PS2 was to get the GTA games, and hearing that GTA VC was imminent and there was an un named GTA in the works (GTA SA), I saved my allowance and my lunch money everyday during grade 9 or 10 I think, and got me a PS2, then a year or so later GTA comes out on the Xbox.

  5)N-Gage, I walked into EB games one day saw the Shiny display of this upcoming handheld/phone /typewriter thing and was hooked by flashy marketing!! So having just made a fortune selling my sculptures at a local faire I bought it, played it once and then got the damn thing confiscated when I tried to play with it in math class, I got it back at the end of the year and I and 99.99% of the Earth's population were over it.

  Honorable mentions:

  Nes Power glove thingy

  Four Game cube wireless controllers can you say Dead Duracell bunny?

  Xbox Logitech wireless controller 4 months before I bought my 360.

  So there you have it friends the amazing gaming related junk that I wasted my or my parent’s money on!!
