You bought *what* to play a game?

[LiquidX01]

I bought an XBox just to play Steel Batallion.

well that was an expensive combined purchase for one game.....almost as much as the person who bought the PC for one game

Took the words out of my mouth.

Mine would have to be spending $150 mainly to have a wireless headset for XBox Live, but it also gets used for my cell phone which is its main purpose. The XBL was just enough to justify the cost for me.

Buying a computer monitor just becouse I got a dreamcast with a vga addapter and no av hook ups. Oh yeah it was a third dreamcast at the time.

Spent $100 on a Redoctane Ignition pad for DDR.

Spent $100 on an official Konami Beatmania IIDX controller.

Spent $225 on my Pop'n Music controller.

I bought a new TV because my old one cut off the top half-inch of so of the picture. Otherwise, it worked just fine. Certainly made using FFX's Sphere Grid interesting.

Spent $100 on an official Konami Beatmania IIDX controller.

I got mine for free when I bought Beatmania over in England for five pounds.

I just had to play SWG last year around this time so I spent $400 on a Geforce4 TI 4600 card. Of course that game sucked but it was money well spent.

Currently I'm close to replacing my old Falcon Northwest Mach V PC with a brand new (expensive) P4 Mach V.

I bought a GameCube in Feb. just so I can play Eternal Darkness. The hype and intresting system with a great story, made me buy it. I haven't found other games that ticked my fancy yet. There have been a Few like Mega Man Collection and F-Zero GX. There are a few that are coming out i want Alien Hominide and Metroid Prime 2.

Yes, but I wanted the game BAD. And its friggin awesome

Next major purchase is probably a Cobalt Flux doubles pack to play DDR.

I bought a Genesis 3-button controller so I could play Golden Axe 2. I found out the hard way that the game won't play correctly with a 6-button controller.

Can't think of anything else besides that.

I purchased an atomiswave Demolish fist kit for $460 shipped from coinopexpress a while ago when it was on sale, so I could play future 2d fighting games on the system.

Now all the 2d fighters come out at $1000 and are only packaged with a motherboard.
