£80 for the Sonic Generations special edition. A game that regularly goes for a tenner now. The tat has never left the box, save for the gold ring being displayed on my shelf.

Still, if eBay is anything to go by, I could still get a fair few Bob for it.

Any Amiibo I own. I have Megaman and Wolf Link still in their boxes. I must check the prices on these things. I don't use them.

I spent £300 on a brand new in the box Halo 3 Master Chef helmet edition.

And no regrets.

Looks okay in that pic. I take it it's not so hot in the flesh?

(Borderlands 2 is a great game though).


It's quite nice quality, but it's just a hollow plastic tub when it comes down to it, it doesn't do anything.

I got the FFXIII hardback strategy guide for free. My girlfriends colleague apparently confiscated it from their son at university (along with piggyback guides for FFX, FF12 and San Andreas, why :lol:) and never remembered to give it back. I also net a copy of Diablo II for some reason.

I don't even own the game, someone let me know if they want it.

I have the compulsory Master Chief helmet from the Halo 3 release.

Also have PS2 Akuma controller made for the 25th anniversary of Street Fighter that's never been used. I also have the chainsaw controller for Resident Evil 4; also never used but more because IT'S IMPOSSIBLE. I guess these at least do have a use.

Back when lik-sang was around I ordered a tonne of shite for the GameCube that wasn't needed. Little feet that you shove in the bottom openings, an extra fan for the side, some other bits I can't remember. Wasn't expensive but definitely pointless. I'm kinda sad that I threw it all out years ago.

The only really rediculous thing I ever bought was the Claptrap edition of the Borderlands handsome collection with the RC app controlled Claptrap. It was kinda clever how it worked and cool but he's now sat in the wardrobe. He was on display for a bit until my cat started chewing his antenna :fp:

eBay.

I was young and foolish. :lol:

But the helmet is still gracing on my shelves after many years.

I certainly can't say the GameCube needs any thermal help.. Mine's 17 years old and is still perfectly fine :lol:

I imported a physical copy of Rez Infinite on PS4 despite already owning it digitally when it came out.

I think I own Rez on every platform its been released on (assuming you count PC as a single platform).
