    I think I spent €180 on Guitar Hero World Tour. Not sure if that counts though because it's not the game that costs most of the money.

    Probably €60 on FIFA back in the day. It's been a long time since I've spent that much money on a game.

    DJ Hero renegade edition it was around 180 euros when it came out, absolutely disgusted of myself everytime I'm seeing the 20 euros price tag of it now.

    The new Assassins creed is €100 as was the last one but due to credit on old and unused games/movies I will cost be €7. I paid €100 on the last assassins creed and yes I agree was not much in it hopefully as it is the last one (YA RIGHT) they will have something cool

    Would you not just check the details of the special edition package online before paying double the price of the standard game?

    I have and it looks cool just hope it is especially the statue bit. The previous one looked cool also just left me a bit disapointed

    Modern Warfare 2 Night Vision Set day one, €169.99.

    Pokemon White and Black 15 times each over the course of the last 2 years have cost me €400. Each time I trade them in I rebuy them a few weeks later.

    You'd think you'd learn after the first time... ;)

    Most I spent was €95 on the Japanese version of Initial D: Extreme Stage when it first came out. The Japanese version was more expensive, but the only one with online so I wanted that :o.

    I still play it now sometimes, so i guess it was worth it.

    I guess the most money I paid for a game has to be Battlefield 3.

    - Bought full price at release day (50 euro)
    - Bought 'premium' (which is just under 50 euro)

    So the guts of 100 euro for one game.

    In the last few years, i've bought a few collectors editions, but for the bog standard game, it would have to be Shenmue 2 on the Dreamcast. Paid €80 (ish) for it on ebay.

    Totally worth it.

    Yeah probably WoW for me too.

    A single released game? I suppose when I saved up all summer to buy Alien 3 on the SNES. Think it cost £60-65 irish punts in Smyth's.

    Biggest waste of money ever. I felt sick as a dog when I realised how **** and repetitive it was. All the reviews were 90 percent plus. Definite case of Acclaim paying off the mags. Glad they went bust.

    Converting to euro and adjusting for inflation that must have been well over €100 in today's money. Absolute garbage it was.

    The SCII collector's edition cost me about 80e but it was worth it. Beautiful box, Jim Raynor dogtag usb drive with the original SC on it. in game WoW pet, artbook.

    I've spent about €150 on League of Legends.

    Who knew free to play was so expensive.

    Worst waste of money was £50 for Die Hard Trilogy on the PC.

    God it was awful. Terrible terrible game.

    I thought I was doing really well until I remembered TF2.

    Must have spent 80-100 euro on that game easily.

    Or maybe, I duno, you were wrong about it? :confused:

    Most expensive CE for me was probably the God of War: Ultimate Edition for the PS3. That being said, I did get three games in that one so it worked out pretty well overall.

    Most on a single game was probably back in the SNES days too. I seem to remember Buster Busts Loose being pretty expensive, as was Super Mario Kart, although that could be because they were some of the first games I ever bought with my own money. :o
