(Hey, that way I at least got to see PvP finally implemented! Too bad most people had those ridiculously imbalanced crafted "hey-I'm-untouchable-and-do-1200%-extra-damage" equipment, the solution of which Funcom decided was to make EVERY crafted item powerless. And I hear the penalties for killing low-levels still aren't in place. Worst MMORPG ever, I should think...)

The stupid part is that you didn't take advantage of the extended warranties and threw out what's probably the leader in consoles right now (at least in terms of power + title availability).Sylocat said:
Failure rate of 360s is about 33% at worst, which is fairly awful, but it leaves 2/3 people unable to sympathyze.
Setting: MMO
Characters: Me (standing around spamhealing EVERYONE) and everybody else.
Tons of people: Let me Plevel you. Even just a little. You've been so helpful to me, and have saved me a fortune in potions.
Me: Naw, that's OK. I don't want to steal your EXP.
GAME NEWS: Any enemy ten levels higher or lower than you will give you 1 EXP.

I actually bought and played through "D" for the PS1. (Granted it was used.)
Even worse-I played through the damn thing twice, thinking there just HAD to be somethnig I missed. It turns out there was. I missed the fact that playing "D" is on par with stabbing your scrotum with dull knives for two hours.

I have no idea how much that replica costs, but that still sucks. However it doesn't seem like you did anything stupid. You might've put it somewhere safer, but it sounds like an unfortunate accident. Although that is the best story so far. You ever get another lancer?PSYCHOxDRAGON said:
I took advantage of the extended warranties the first two times I got the RRoD (even though both of them were in the first year after I got the thing, so they were covered under the regular warranties anyway). After the third time, I just said "fuck it."geldonyetich said:
All I know is, no other system I've ever owned has broken down while under my care, and I treated the damn thing even more delicately than the others (having heard the horror stories ahead of time).
I was 2 missions away from completing Devil May Cry 4 100%, and shut the console off while autosaving when my wife started yelling at me to turn the damn game off and go hang out with my friends who were over... One of my favorite series, and I haven't touched the game since (rented w/ Gamefly).
another was when I first got my 360 I bought Dead Rising full price, and when my friend picked up the console and moved it mid-game, it ate the disk. I bought the game again the next day for full price, paying 120$ to play a game I can't even stand to look at anymore.

I bought the History Channel's Civil War game thinking it would be fun and educational.
Imagine Call of Duty except reloading takes 30 seconds, your squad vanishes when the mission starts, and the entire game consists of beating people with a rifle butt.
Come to think of it, I guess that wasn't too far off from the actual war...

This is why I don't lend ANY of my games to ANYONE.VoleurdeThym said:
My dumbest gaming thing ever? Babbages (remember Babbages?) had a deal going on before the release of the N64... give them your SNES and 10 games... you get $250 store credit. Wanting an N64 and thinking I'd never play my SNES again, I did it.
Boy, was that ever the stupidest thing EVER.
I've since re-purchased most of my old SNES games and a SNES... still, it's not the same.
Lmao. U guys always make me laugh.

I'm not sure but my answer would have to be "I fell asleep"
I had just gotten FFVIII and FFIX, was on disc 2 and 3, me and my buddy were playing video games at my place, I passed out, someone called my house, he got pissed that I was asleep and deleted all the saves on my memory card. When I asked him "WTF" He said it was because "We could have missed a cool party!".
Needless to say I don't hang out with that guy anymore.
I still haven't finished either of those games =/

I did actually, but coz i'm from the uk we just get the gold coloured (hence the painting) vibrating one. i'm told that the american version has a working chainsaw with ruber tips or sumthing. i want one of those
Like three years ago I rented The Incredibles. Overall I enjoyed the game seeing as the combat wasn't half bad. After my week had ended it was returned, but I wanted to keep playing it. My mom ended up getting me it for Christmas... I walked into my room and came out 10 minutes later saying I beat the game.
I felt like an idiot especially since I had seen the movie and should have known I was on the last level...

I have on more than one occasion rented a game, beat it, and later gone out and bought the same game...
