Girls gone wild video. They keep sending me advertisements for more videos in the series. This has been going on for 5 years. Not good if your married, and they just keep showing up in the mail box
I don't think I'm considered an adult yet, but I've made some bad purchases:
-My "fat" PS2. Saved up for a year, bought it, played it for maybe a week. It wasn't that bad of a purchase I suppose, since now I use it for Guitar Hero, but I didn't touch it for a good three and a half years.
-White iBook G3. This thing cost me $400, and it worked for two months. Now it has so many problems, I probably couldn't give it away if I tried. That was a LOT of money wasted...
- It wasn't my money, but I feel bad for making my parents spend their cash on little playsets I didn't really use.
Slim PSP
2x Ipod video 30gb
1 ipod classic
the iphone, it is nice but not practical
2 years of service for iphone
Slim ps2
Kicker L7 Sub and Kicker ZX750.1 Amp
Xbox 360, but GTA IV is addicting and fun
Dell vostro 1500
4 gb ram for vostro
cheap ipod cases off of ebay which scratched them up.
Why did you regret your Kicker Sub and amp? Kicker is the best!
Unless you had it stolen, i had my deck stolen last summer. It feels really bad, like wasted money and is my only regret.
Oh and that i didnt get a macbook pro instead of a macbook. obvisouly.
I'm not an adult yet, so I'll go through my list so far:
1. Wii. The novelty wore off and I started missing what i traded it for, which was a PowerBook G4 12 inch. (I bought a new 15 inch, should be here friday )
2. Titanium PowerBook. Parted it out, going to soon sell on eBay. Logic board melted, had a bunch of issues, in poor condition, didn't use it a lot. It was very slow. Had an IBM travelstar. You know, i still loved it.
umm... think of anything else? I can't. I use most everything I purchase. When I was a kid, that yu-gi-oh crap just seemed useless to me
As a general rule, I think that it's good to make an effort to buy less stuff, and avoid all the marketing pressure for new and unnecessary stuff.
I think that people who buy tonnes of DVDs are mad. Buying the stuff that you really love is ok, as I have done with a few sitcoms and other comedy, but I think that postal renting is generally much better unless you watch each film about 4 times. All in all, you should rarely watch films that many times because there are always loads of old flicks you've never seen and should watch and would get more from. These people will probably be updating stuff with Blue Ray now, and then with whatever replaces Blue-Ray.
My most frivolous purchases were a portable Minidisc player and a player for my Hi-fi stack. They were never really that good, and should have just stuck with CD until MP3 etc had developed more. It was about as sensible as it would have been to buy an HD-DVD player.
