Yep. Perfect Dark Zero for 360 and Motorstorm: Arctic Ridge on PSP.

Re: Have you ever bought games for consoles you don't own?
Kinda. When I first began collecting, I picked up a Power Base Converter for the Genesis I had had since I was little, and bought a couple Master System games to play. I still don't actually own a Master System, though I may pick one up eventually.
I also picked up a copy of Aleste for the Mark III, before later buying the Tototek converter and playing it through the Genesis.

I recently bought a boxed actraiser even though I don't have a snes, it seems to be really rare in the pal area.

Guilty. I bought a game for the Saturn, and planned on getting a Saturn. That was about a year ago when I had more income to dispose of. Now, the game just sits in my office, collecting dust.

Re: Have you ever bought games for consoles you don't own?
It's weird that I just noticed this topic just now, because I'm staring at my copy of Yakuza 3 sitting on my shelf.
The only problem being, I don't have a PS3 yet!
Basically, I've been talking about getting one for so long that my brother began to mock me and make out that I was all talk and would never actually get one, so I bought this game to prove that I'm serious and will get one soon.
I heard rumours of a price cut coming in the Autumn so that could be the time.
Until then I'll just have to leave Yakuza 3 on the shelf...
torture!

If you still have those, maybe you should hit up XxBroBuzzxX with an offer.

I used this tactic to get my mom to buy me an N-gage lot on ebay. I bought some game in a thrift store, but the lot had that game in it.

I love that game!
But anyway, I bought Alpha Mission II for the NeoGeo just to remind that I will one day own one!
Also, I have done the exact opposite before too. I currently own a ColecoVison and TG-16 with the CD attachment and no games for any of them.
Currently owned; Colecovision, Master System, TG-16/CD, SNES, Genesis/CD Mk1/32X, Saturn, Dreamcast, Jaguar/CD, Xbox, Wii, and PS3!!!
Dreamcast Tracker; 209 of 248 NTSC-U games collected.

Also, if anyone has the case art for Popful Mail (Sega CD), I'd like to speak with you!

I bought Panzer Dragoon Orta when it was still new. I still don't have an XBOX yet.
