Lost Planet is my most regretted 360 purchase, followed by Guitar Hero 3. I can't seem to sell Lost Planet anywhere for a decent price. =/ For XBLA games, it'd have to be Bomberman Live! The online function did not work particularly well.

College Hoops 2k8 was an absolute joke. I could have mistaked it (minus good graphics) for a 2002 game. The gameplay was terrible and all the players look the same. The jerseys aren't even right.

I pay 20 bucks for Spider-man friend or foe, I traded it in for 22 bucks and I still regret the purchase because I actually finished it. Although if your the type that plays games for gamer score this is an easy 1000 points or at least an easy 925.

I don't really regret any of my purchases... maybe FarCry. I already had Instincts on Xbox, but if I remember right, it was on sale for the same price as Evolution and I wanted to get that so I thought why not just get the 360 version.

Neverend - it was purchased as an impulse buy to be a review exercise for really cheap games. However, after five minutes of playing neverend i lost all will to live.

a psp, accessories for it, and 7 games for it -$500
i just kept on buying games thinking that "okay, this is gonna be the one good psp game!" and being sorely diappointed every time.

bioshock - $60
wasnt a bad game, but after playing it once, i never wanna see it again. i should have rented it, i beat it in 3 days anyways.

geometry wars - 400 ms points/$5
i liked the demo but once i bought the full game, i played it once and havent played it since.

coldplay import single - $6
i feel so stupid for this one. i alread had x/y but i went ahead and bought the single cd for one of the songs since it had some b sides.

the wall - $30
imo one of the best albums, but at $30 i feel a little ripped off.

the laptop im using now - $1000
specs: 3.0ghz p4, 480 mb ram, 32 mb integrated intel grpahics 80 gb hard drive.  bought in 2005.

about 1/4 of the books i have - $50
i havent read em yet and dont plan on reading them.

Guitar Hero Aerosmith. I looked at the achievements and instantly went out and bought it. Wow, was that a bad decision. I had 970 gamerscore in about 4 days and a little sick to my stomach that I paid $2 a song for Aerosmith. I don't really listen to a lot of music and assumed that Aerosmith was good for some reason and I hated every minute of playing that game but I had to play it or else I would have wasted my $60.

I will never again buy a game based on achievements and achievements alone.

I have a few regrets on my 360. I won't even get started on my XBLA purchases.

Overlord was fun for a week. I never finished it.
C&C3 is still fun for me, but I'm terrible. Only got halfway through.
Lost Odyssey, because I hate random battles. The story's great, but I only got to disk two.
Guitar Hero 3 was great until Rock Band came out. Never touched it again.
I would say CoD4, just because I feel bad about never enjoying the multiplayer as much as everyone else.

And that's just the 360 stuff.

Oh, and Assassin's Creed. It was so forgettable, I forgot about it. Didn't finish. Too repetitive

  • Bioshock - Was a great game, but was not worth the money, only played through it once and found to need to play through it again. Although, I'm definitely gald I played it, i'm not glad I bought it.

Probably Lost Odyssey, I'm sure it's an okay game but i just can't get in to JRPGs.  I thought I would make an effort, but i just can't.  Worst purchase for me, could easily be a great buy for someone else.
