Most expensive game and biggest loss!

Just a quick check on the most you've ever paid for a single game and biggest loss (hardware too, if it's particularly interesting)... Maybe a little back story too...

Mine has to be the :

US version of Street Fighter 2 : Hyper Fighting on the SNES

It cost me £100.00 plus £30.00 for a special converter to be able to play it on my UK Snes! I used to paint Warhammer figures and sell them in my Dads shop to help fund my gaming! Took me many, many weeks to save up!

Me and my friend played it so much that evening, we both ended up with hand spasms from too many fireball inputs! Good times! ;)

Biggest loss has to be selling Castllevania SOTN special Edition on PS1 for £5.00 trade in! I'll always kick myself for that! :) especially because I traded it in for killer instinct gold on the n64! :)

I'm the kind of person who builds a huge collection of games over time and so the only time I ever sell them is when I let the whole lot go as a bundle.

Saying that, I did sell Shadow of the Colossus to some independent gaming store for like £5 once along with a bunch of tat PS2 games. I have no idea what possessed me - I don't think I realised what I was doing! That has to be my biggest 'personal' loss.

Biggest financial loss is the amount of PS3 games I have sitting on my shelf that I still haven't found the time to play yet!

Aion Digital Collector's Edition on steam.

£60 for not a lot, and now it isn't even playable as it's gone F2P with a diff company and diff client. I contacted them about my CE bonuses vanishing after the transfer, they said they're "looking into it".

Bah. What a waste of money.

I also deeply regret selling Panzer dragoon Saga and various other Saturn games.

When I moved last month I decided to get rid of a lot of old cd's, games and dvd's that I either didn't like or was unlikely to play/listen to or watch ever again, I used music magpie purely because it was the easiest way to get rid of everything quickly. Yeah, got pretty bummed on the return for that.

@Deacon, you wanna buy my SotC HD PS3 version? ;)

I'm going to be a douche and base it on a beta but I would say GW2 is looking like a pretty big loss at £50. :)

@Viralshag - thanks for the offer! the Mrs bought me the HD collection to shut me up ; )

I bought both WoW expansions in an attempt to re-kindle the love (from about 6 years ago..)
I found that to be a complete waste of £30.

@Deacon, Gutted, because I didn't like the game at all. I would even say the ICO/SotC was a loss too. Having never played it I was hugely disappointed to find I didn't like it. Please also note that I was disappointed I didn't like it, not that I was disappointed by the game.

I didn't like killing the Colossi, which was a first for me considering I usually have no problem killing things in game, but it put me right off and I stopped playing haha.

All Points Bulletin bought it, thought the idea of buying for game time was pretty nice and unique. I also liked the gta style of freedom.
Unfortunately they went into admin, now I've got a client always on Steam.
Never able to get a refund, the only thing I got was transferred my character over to the free2play one, which is something I guess.

Another kinda loss but not really as I returned it for another game. I bought F1 2011, absolutely terrible game. Don't get me wrong I enjoy watching F1 and everything which is why I bought it but it just didn't seem to do anything for me.
