Have you ever been ripped off for a video game? Like a $50 game and then it is so crappy you sell it back and get 1/4 of your money back.

I got NCAA 2K3 football for $5 and still feel ripped off.

Where are you paying fifty dollars for videogames?
I felt ripped off by the sonic advance games.

Too late, I caught the reference.  I BOUGHT POKEMON SNAP.  That was a rip-off.  It was fun for a while though.

 I'm not sure if I felt ripped off, but I paid $50 dollars for Hoshigami: Ruining Blue Earth for the PSX when it came out.

 It was rumored to have been worked on by Final Fantasy Tactic's staff (a rumor which isn't true), and actually looked promising.

 It turned out to be one difficult game. One ridiculously difficult game. I'm ashamed to say I haven't beaten it.

 I refuse to sell it though, as one day I will beat it. Mark my words.

I get like 2 games at Toys R' Us. They are usually $50 when they first come out. DS games are around $30 though.

I felt ripped-off by the Eye Toy Play. The games were similar and my arms started to tire. You also look like a fool playing that. More than losing at DDR.

I remember I got Doom for the GBA new, out of the box, hoping to relive the awesome experience I had back in the day. I played, and though "What the f##k? This piece of crap!" Nintendo had completely messed with it. Granted, a game like Doom that requires a keyboard should never be on the GBA, but still... You have to press SELECT constantly to cycle through weapons instead of instantly calling one up, the blood is green, the levels fell like they've been reworked, the textures are crappy and grainy, and you put in these stupid button-pressing codes instead of the easier typing...and saving your game? Don't even get me STARTED on saving...

I thought that Doom's graphics were grainy anyway, no matter what system you play it on.
