Your worst Buying Mistakes

When Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire first came out I bought Pokemon Ruby from a little shop. At first I didn't realised it was a pirate cartidge expecially since they sold it at the price of an original game. I should suspect it from the little washed-out colors of the package. Years later when I decided to resume playing it the save was lost. I played it again from the beginning but days laters the new save have been lost as well. When that happened and talked about it on a forum I realised it was a pirate cartidge. Unfortunately this shop has been closed. If it was still opened I would sue them at the greek agency of Nintendo. After this event I felt like a huge, idiot, fucking noob. :banghead: And I wasn't even a little kid (I was in college back then).

Fortunately I haven't made any other stupit mistake like that.

It is the eeePC to some extent, but I just find Linux to be a pain overall.

How so? Linux is pretty sweet. The only time I find it gives me problems is when hardware isn't supported. But these days it works it almost just about anything out of box.

I swore that if they ever reissue it or I come across one in person I'd buy it on the spot.

I know a place that has it for 400, in box. It's the same place I get most of my NES games and GI Joes.

...well, got my Joes, till the lady had me sell them off.

Most games I buy for my iPhone. I rarely ride the train now, so never play them. I even bought Tron Legacy for $0.99 the other day just to see what it was like. I'll probably never play it again.

Then this game must be selling failure in UK. So next time you visit Greece for vacations bring this game with you (no, I'm not promoting vacations in Greece). Image

Black light+LED flashlight. Problem solved.

Seriously, not a real problem since we have the artificial light thing down just fine. Let me know when you buy a game that requires you to go faster than the speed of light.
