oh yeah i'll add the iPad 3 too... not because it's bad or because i don't use it (i love it) but because the iPad4 is going to be so much better that it isn't even funny (i don't think that the iPad2/3 design is the best around so probably the next will be better, also better CPU with way better power consumption)
 
Guild Wars 2.
The game is really good but I played like 5 hours. Don't find the motivation to play.

So much this, along with every other MMO I haveever played aside from DAOC and TOR. So much time wasted and not worth all the grind time investment.
 
I bought the recent Doctor Who art print and instantly regretted spending that much. I emailed them and can't get a refund though.

Why do you regret it? I was so close to pulling the trigger myself.
 
For the first time in my life I wanted to spoil myself clothing wise, and got myself a nice expensive set of Levi's original jeans, first 2 washes and there is a hole and 2 of the little thingies that hold the belt are ripped out.

Back to cheap Old Navy jeans it seems, never had these problems with them.
 
Tekken Tag Tournament 2. I bought it 3 weeks ago and have played ~45 minutes of it, messing around in Fight Lab mode. Will probably try to sell it this weekend.
 
Bought an Ipod Classic(160 GB) last week and returned it to Amazon yesterday. Too dated, there's just no going back.
 
A $200 room divider that looked stupid when I put it in place. Now I have a 6 foot tall 3 panel room divider stuffed in the closet because it's useless and it would practically cost more than it's worth to ship it back.

Also, Diablo 3

Also, I kind of regret the Vita. I really like the games I have for it but it wasn't worth the price.
 
Guild Wars 2 is up there for sure.

I regret mostly everything I don't get a ton of use out of.

There are times I want to delete my Steam account out of shame.
 
A chicken wrap at Burger King. wtf was I thinking? Also ten pint cans of beer. Didn't regret that until the next day though.
 
3DS.

I guess it's not really recent, considering I got it at launch. I just don't play games as much as I used to.. and if I wanted to, I don't really find it that comfortable to hold for long periods of time.

This took me a lot of many and many years to realize, unfortunately. I tend to read more about the game and read GAF impressions more than I would ever play the damn thing.

Yah I am regretting mine at the moment. Repeat after me "smash bros is coming" :(

Also,

this piece of crap.

ÂŁ15 plus postage, and ÂŁ8 for replacement filters. Saw a superior home filter model later that week in the store for TWO POUNDS :'(

Also the one I got is designed horribly - it has a hole for the filter that leaks water

Yeah, the industry itself is quite fascinating. I love reading about new hardware, sales figures, and the financial side of things.

I still play the shit out of Smash Bros on the Wii though.. so when it comes to the 3DS:

indeed
 
$99 HP tablet.

Just haven't really used it for anything other than reading.

Perhaps you could put Android 4.0 on it. I think that is the newest version that can be loaded onto it.

I Kinda regret purchasing my TT-R 250 dirt bike. It is super fun to ridel, street legal, and in awesome condition, but I should have held out for something with a bigger engine.


I'm going to sell it and my old cruiser next spring and get something like a 650cc dual-sport.
 
Life time sub to Star Trek Online during its beta period (not that it's a terrible game but I could have spent that money somewhere else)
Collector's version of Demigod
Collector's version of Elemental

edit: I made my post here, go the gaming section and see that you made this same thread but for games. lol
 
Apple TV

Don't know why I even bought it

I don't have any other apple products aside from my old iphone 3gs which is in a drawer somewhere

and I have a PS3 and a 360 for Netflix on the tv
 
Interesting to see all the mentions of the iPad 3...I keep thinking of selling mine, but then I remember how I Kickstarted two separate projects that will run off it.
 
a while back i bought a blu ray surround sound system and totally regret it. i've only seen like 2 movies.
 
3DS. Should've waited for the 3DS XL. Will trade (don't like the current XL colors though).

G27. I'm just not that hardcore or dedicated.

Elliptical bike. Shit.

Will sell all this shit.

edit: I could say the iPad 3 too. But I like the iPad. I just don't want to have this one and don't need it right now (finished school meanwhile) and in fact I handed it over to my dad for some cash. Will get another iPad down the line eventually. Who knows, maybe the new mini.
 
Recent purchase regrets:

1x Bottle of Cutty Sark Scotch
1x Adventuretime Finn the Human onesie
1x Secret World MMO
2x T-shirts from online sites
 
What are you doing with the pad now?
I do a little browsing, some twitter, a little gaming. As I said I do like it, but many people have said how they can't live without it since getting one and I was expecting to be the same. I should have saved the cash and got an Air (actually still thinking of picking one up for my wife for Christmas).

Actually suggested to my wife that I sell it recently but she didn't want to. Which is odd, because she doesn't use it and she's a miser. :p
