IDIOT GAMERS

IDIOT GAMERS

If your reading this to see if I'm insulting you sorry I can see how the tittle could be misleading. No this is more an insult to me and to see if there are other gamers like me out there. As stated in my profile I have owned various consoles in my years as a gamer (4 PS2 alone), and I wanted to know if there are other gamers out there who have sold their consoles for whatever reason only to regret the descision later on (ie me selling my 360 only to find myself pulling my hair out at the release of games like Fable2 and soon to be released Gears of war 2 ahhhh). If your an idiot gamer like myself state your biggest mistake you've made and why you made it in the first place. Personally I've sold up for various reasons which include needing extra cash when my son was born, money for moving but more often boredom with the available games and no interest in upcoming releases which was probably based on a lack of research on my part (if only I'd found NZgamer sooner). Anyway leave your posts I'd be keen to read your dilemas.

And if you just wanna call me an idiot then feel free I know it already.

Yes for sure, got the RROD after 2 years of owning a 360 and got mad and sold it, when i should have repaired the trucker. Now Gears 2 is effing coming out and fable 2. Oh well will buy one when i have enough funds.....can you hear the echo!!!

I keep my consoles, it's not like I'm going to get much for them if I sell them anyway.

I once sold my ps2 to a burglar for $0. On reflection it wasn't such a smart move!

iv kept all my consoles (and original cases... yup), i don't think i could ever sell them because i would regret it later. I know this because i sold an old ps2 game, Zone of the enders (pretty much absolute sh*t), but i really missed it after that!!
.. ive never found a copy of it since.

so think about it when your considering selling your cosoles or games... is it really worth it?

I sat on my copy of "Gran Turismo 2" and now the case is cracked. It wasn't such a good day for me...
