Have you ever bought a game multiple times?

I only did that with Phantasy Star Zero.
The first purchase was an import cos the UK release was months after the US release (seriously what the hell? There was different between the two versions at all and the UK didn't have multiple languages either). When the UK version did arrive I bought it again to show my support for the game and also to played it again with different classes since you can have only three characters slots per cartridge and there were like fourteen character classes to choose from.

GTA IV and the GTA III/VC/SA pack on Steam, after I already had them on 360/PS2. The much-improved processor speed made a HUGE difference in gameplay. On the 360 version of GTA IV, when driving at dangerous speeds, I would occasionally crash into obstacles that were invisible because they hadn't been rendered yet. That never happens on the PC version.
Two times Rez
Two times Psychonauts
Two times Super Meat Boy
Two times Portal
Two times Dark Chronicle
Three times Final Fantasy X (and before you ask, no, it's NOT my favorite FF game)
And a whole bunch of old PSOne games I already owned, but couldn't resist buying another copy of on PSN.

I have two Minecraft accounts, and a few of the games on my Steam list I bought even though I had them in disc format. I just like Steam...
I own three copies of Oblivion. I bought the game for the PC before I owned a 360, but my PC at the time wasn't quite there and the game ran super-slow. When I got a 360 I re-purchased the game, and finally got to enjoy it. Then a year or so later, I picked up a copy of the GotY to play Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine. That doesn't even count the $20 or so I spent on the other DLC.
Then finally I got a proper gaming PC, and having long ago lost my installation key (not to mention not owning the GotY for the PC), I wasn't about to buy the game again. A case of justified piracy if there ever was one.

Bought XCOM Apocalypse on steam when I still had the disc, $5 is worth not having to figure out DOSBOX.
Re-bought Soul Calibur 4 after playing the travesty that is Soul Calibur 5.
Re-bought Ring of Red, SSX 3, and Kingdom Hearts to restore the PS2 collection I sold long ago.
I'm waiting very impatiently for GOG to release Carmageddon so I can buy it again.
Rome Total War, Shogun 2, and Empire; bought them on release and got the Sega Publisher bundle from Steam.
I've bought Tom Clancy's Endwar twice, forcing me to admit that I'm a bit of a thickie.

I bought Oblivion 3 times, retail PC (the disk broke), 360 version and Steam.
Company of Heroes twice, one retail (damned disk broke too) and another on Steam, including expansions.
Fear twice, one retail (shitty spanish version) and another on Steam.
Far Cry twice, retail (shitty spanish version) and Steam.
Call of Duty 4 twice, one retail and another on Steam.
Doom 3 twice, retail and the id Super Pack through Steam.
BioShock twice, PC retail and 360 version.
Super Meat Boy twice, one at a discount through Steam and another in a Humble Indie Bundle.
Amnesia, same as with SMB.
Penumbra Overture like 3 times, 2 Humble Indie Bundles and another through Frictional themselves, with included Black Plague and Requiem. I bought them through Steam too, just for the lulz.
I bought Guild Wars twice (thrice if you count a gift I gave to a friend through a Steam sale), I bought the vanilla GOTY edition and the Trilogy edition, not counting the Eye of The North expansion, all of them retail.
Also, I've bought World of Goo like 4 or 5 times, including Bundles. I've honestly lost the count.
And that's all I can remember for now.

I've purchased several games multiple times...
Fallout - 3x
Fallout 2 - 2x
Fallout Tactics - 3x
Fallout 3 including all of the DLC - 2x
Diablo 2 - 2x
EVE - 2x (mainly so I could have a combat character and an industrial guy training 100% of the
time)
Super Mario Bros. 3(NES mothafucka) - 2x (buddy borrowed it, and got robbed...)
That's about it, though I have purchased a ton of games, if I had to buy them all again, I'd be out quite a bit of money...

Must have bought Half-Life several times. And Half-Life 2, though that would be as part of a bundle.
Bought both KOTOR games twice, because backwards compatibility on the Xbox is so poor.
Farcry twice as I lost my first copy.
And all of the Doom and Quake games to take advantage of various bundle offers.

Borderlands: bought both the game, and then the GOTYE with all the DLC on disk when it came out.
Fallout 3 & New Vegas: same
Dragon Age: Origins: same
Red Dead Redemption: same
Resident Evil 5: bought the game on Xbox 360, but the Gold Edition on PS3 since the DLC is on disc.
Does anyone see a trend?
I also have ICO and Shadows of Collosus on PS2, and got the PS3 HD collection, same with Silent Hill 2 and 3, and Metal Gear Solid 2, and 3.
I also own Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance on both PS2 and Xbox.
