Buyers remorse...

[Pastore]

Just dropped $1,200 on a brand new computer to play battlefield 2. Girlfriend bitched at me this morning and I'm starting to feel bad about my purchase considering I'm supposed to be getting a new car towards the end of the summer I should be saving up on. Please help! Tell me how good of a decision I made!

 

[StageLeft]

Haha, what a waste of money. For real.

 

[Triforceofcourage]

Your an idiot but tell your gf to shut up and make you a sandwhich

 

[Pastore]

Noooooo you're not supposed to agree with her!!!!!!

 

[AnyMal]

You spent $1200 to play a $50 game?

You = stupid

 

[purbeast0]

$1200 on a new computer? why not spend like $500 and get a new mobo, cpu, vid card, and some ram, and stickit in your c urrent machine?

 

[akubi]

if you earned it yourself what business does she have on how you spend it?... it's not as if you're married

 

[BrokenVisage]

Download NFS4 and buy a car.

My current machine is a laptop.

Put the desktop wallpaper with her picture and tell her...."Look baby its a picture frame too!"........... this always amazes them.
She'll be like "You're so considerate."

My current machine is a laptop.

Still could've built for less than $1200.

Pffff...the one I priced out this morning or myself was over 3k/cdn! And that doesn't even include the 2405FPW I plan on getting!

 

[frankgomez75]

Its your money isn't it! She can't tell you how to spend it...... or can she?

Dude you could buy a Dell 399 after 100 mail in rebate and slap an ATI X800Xl in there and have plenty to play that game. for around 650-700 bucks.

I bought a laptop yesterday and cancelled the order today for the same reason. Buyers remorse!

 

[Toasthead]

that better be a HELL of a computer

 

[Shawn]

People spend over $500 on computers these days?

 

[ChooChooChooseMe]

I know how you feel, I just spent $2 on construction paper.

 

[Maetryx]

Tell her that a computer is not an object, it is a solution. It lets you do things that you enjoy such as putting up a wallpaper of your girlfriend on your desktop. Also, just buy a cheaper car to make up for it. Or better yet, a used one. People waste way too much money on cars.

what LCD costs $400? i thought all the 21" Dells are mid 300's now?

QFT!

 

[EagleKeeper]

She can see what your priorities are.

You made the decision knowing what would happen. Now take your medicine.
