i have a xbox 360 with a 250 gig hard drive. i can download over 500 games to the hard drive. which means i can play directly from the hard drive without swaping DVDs. that means i don't have to get up. and don't have to worry about damaging game DVDs. also don't have to be concern about damaging the DVD player. two DVD players stoped working because the tray got jammed.

right now i am downloading FO3. i allredy have the boxed version. yeah, it is a waste of money. but if i am playing skyrim and decide to play something less intense, i don't have to recall where i put those disks.

I'm too damn poor to waste money, but in the spirit of the thread I bought KotOR for $4.00 on SW day even though I already played it years ago.

I buy videogames, to most people.. that in and of itself is a waste of money.

everytime I pass the local game store (be it driving somewhere or out on a jog) i go in and buy something..

Every, Single, Time!

i really shouldn't, as I am currently between jobs, and my backlog already consists of... *does math* .. a little over 80 games i think...

Same. My idea of "wasting money" is to buy an older PSP game off of Ebay for 2-8 bucks once every 3 months or so(if I'm lucky, it's actually been since November since I bought my last one).

I recently bought a glass display case for my Halo stuff. Probably wasn't the wisest purchase, but it looks good.

That happened to my Xbox, close the tray without a disc in and the thing gets jammed. How I always fixed it was to take off the front cover off the Xbox and grip the drive with a pair of pliers then hit the open button and pull.

I don't waste my money on any one thing, I used to go to flea markets and such so I'd buy old games, records, and random stuff that catches my eye. Now I barely spend more than $20 a month.

Paying rent.

I can see the wasting money part, but you are having fun doing it?

Using up electricity while I labor to make a relatively useless program with my extremely rudimentary knowledge of Python (it's a self-grading math quiz).

Well, tonight I wasted a bunch of money on alcohol and ultamaty it scewed me over. I made a fool out of myself and throughup all over my sister house I just wish I could have fun being sober.

Sleeping under a roof is pretty fun in relative terms.

I sort of want to waste money on Wolfenstein but am already wasting money on Watch Dogs

Yes, this last January at a stripper club. Spent $300 on lap dances. First time I spent that much - it was a special day since I took my nephew who came to visit me from Texas.
