Have you ever bought a game for a system you don't own?

Not including gifts, have you ever bought yourself a game for a system you don't own and weren't planning on owning any time soon?

I once bought Super Mario World just because it was $2.50. I don't have a SNES and I still don't have a SNES so I can't play it.

I bought Super Smash Bros. for the 64 for $5 when I didn't have an N64. I ended up getting one 2 years later.

A while before I planned on getting a SMS, I started picking up games for the system if I saw them in the wild

Hmm, no, but a friend once bought a dreamcast VMU so he could load it up with the minigames off my Dreamcast system and play them at his place. He raised a hell of a chao, let me tell ya. I also loaned him a Neo Geo Pocket Color and SNK vs Capcom Match of the Millennium, and he unlocked every single thing for me in a few days.

But shouldn't it work on your PS2?

Thanks again...BTW

Oh, also...I have bought many games for systems I don't own.

If I ever did, I can't remember doing so. My friend once bought The Thing on PS2 even though he didn't own the system, he was playing it my house and I other places as well.

I remember buying a Zillion and an SMS controller about a year before I owned a Master System. I bought Zillion because I knew it was supposed to be one of the best Master System games, and because it was only a dollar. Then I bought the controller just because it looked really cool to me. I've always been a Segaphile, I really couldn't help it.

Haha this would be back in 1998, I have no idea what happened to that copy of the game, so this would be my second time buying FF7.

My brother preordered Twilight Princess at Gamestop, and ended up with the game without a system to play it on: we got the Wii that Christmas.
