VHS
When I was 'but a child' I had a bad addiction to films and TV shows. Specifically, to my shame.........Star Trek TNG & DS9. I bought every video at a stupid £17 per tape for 2 fucking episodes! A few years ago my mum wanted the attic cleaning, I found them and donated the tapes to a charity shop I counted them up and worked out that in total they cost me approx £2380 (2 series times 7 seasons and roughly 10 tapes per season, most of them had their prices attached averaging at about £17 each). The shop sold them for £1 each........

I also bought a Dreamcast and an N64, I loved them, but alas they were a waste of money. Except for the PSP, it was and still is the most useless thing on the market, I don't know why I bought one.

Don't get me started on my mum buying stuff from The Franklin Mint........

Did you send off for the CD player shaped like the Defiant?
That was the only reason to buy those bloody tapes back in the day...

how did I not know about that!?
No, is the quick answer, maybe it was a USA only offer thing

They came with little stickers in the boxes that you had to collect and then send off for it
the Defiant CD player was the "top" prize (I think you had to buy 2 seasons' worth of DS9 and Voyager for it) but with fewer stickers you could probably send off for a DS9 tea-towel or something

My mate got one, and I've always been completely jealous of it

Apparently there are still a few knocking around: www.trekunited.com/community/index.php?showtopic=9279

Ha! Those were the days...
I had friends at school who would spend all their paper-round money on TNG videos. I thought this was a waste of money as they WERE expensive, only contained 2 episodes AND THEY WERE SHOWN ON TV ANYWAY.

Useless?
I love my PSP. My commute allows me one full race on GT in each direction. Which is ace.

My PSP
Lies in its case with a screen so cracked that the LCD has leaked out from behind it, and the only thing stopping it from leaking is the protector I put over it.

The cause of such destruction?

Tekken rage + 1 size 13 shoe = Broken PSP

Damn :(
