    I believe in the console but it's bad business to have it sitting there with nothing to play. I'd be screwed if it wasn't for my ps plus membership. That and nesbox.

    Ive never played it, but this is like the most divisive game on PS2. you either love it or hate it. Theres no middle ground.

    Traded MvC2 for a game shark

    Wanted to go buy it at Gamestop like a year later because I missed it and couldn't get that game anywhere. ? was like the holy grail.

    I remember I told the clerks how I got rid of it and they were literally flabbergasted.
    I think one of them fainted lol
    I ain't know that game was gonna be like Atlantis and ?

    - paying $91 on The Bouncer for PS2 at release SMMFH, the only I got out of it was my screen name LOLOL

    - selling my PS1 back then SMMFH (I shoulda kept it) even tho I had a PS2 I shoulda at least kept most of the games

    - Gamecube, the only game I played on it was Smash Bros. Melee, otherwise it was a waste of money

    - Not getting an XBox 360 early on SMMFH, I really underestimated the online component. The PS3 was garbage for the first year and a half it was out, all I did was play my PS2 games and watch DVDs on it (mostly DVDs). Taught me an important lesson to wait until the consoles actually have games out rather than rushing to the store and buying it SMMFH, made the same mistake with the PS2 and paid $1000 for a PS2 getting all the accessories, every game out and DVDs. On 360 I missed out on Halo online, COD, L4D and basically the online gaming element. PS3 had it too but it was very poor (hey it was free SMMFH). That's prolly one of my biggest regrets in gaming.

    - paying $70 for KOF12 SMMFH and UFC3 (I could have waited and copped for a quarter of the price)

    - buying Amored Core 5 for $70 straight ass, the newer one Verdict Day and the previous ones were really good but that particular game was just GARBAGE. I played it for 2 hours and then returned it for I think WWE 12.

    - 3rd party controllers for N64 good ? they were trash SMMFH. I will say tho the 3rd party controllers for PS3 lasted longer than the actual PS3 ones SMMFH. I went thru a dozen PS3 controllers either cuz the triggers kept jamming or it fell down once or twice and got faulty

    - not getting a 360 Slim, the RROD was ? annoying and just a cash grab for Microsoft. They knew what they were doing. Part of the reason why 360 sold the way it did was b/c of RROD and ppl going back to by 2 or 3 Xboxes (I knew people who were on there 5th or 6th console SMMFH).

    Gotdamn you threw some money away lol

    I lent GTA III to a friend at the height of it. Came round his house one day to find the disc stuck in a dry cola spillage.
