Don't drink and make purchases on PSN kids.

Sunday night I had 40 dollars in my PSN wallet and  after 3 beers and a nice glass of bourbon I decided to spend 20 of it on the Tomb Raider bundle. My wife came into the room and started talking to me while I was completing the transaction and I wound up confirming purchase without reading the f'in screen.

You see I'd forgotten that I'd put dishonored in my cart and then decided to buy a retail copy because it was only a buck more than digital.

I now own both a digital and physical copy of the SAME FRIKKIN' game. That and PSN charged my credit card 5 dollaru because I was a couple of bucks short. Aarrgh!

I have bought countless games under those same circumstances, thankfully not recently.

It's so easy to do. :D

That sucks.  

I accidently bought double copies of 3 games this year.  I don't know what I'll do with these extra copies. Undecided

I hear ya brother.  I find eBay and Amazon to be particularly dangerous after a few tasty adult beverages.  Man, I should make a list of all the shit I purchased under the influence.

I could make a list but the list of stuff I bought while sober would be much shorter. LOL

Let this be a lesson to you: don't drink and shop, lol.

That is excatly while I do not mix games and drinking together, shit just does not go right at all,lol. However since your a pro now how about you get drunk and play Animal Crossing, Id like to know what happens,lol!

I did play some AC later that day. I think I bought a fake painting for 4000 bells. LOL

I keep getting caught up in my collecting and forgetting to open my gate. I was on the island the other night too but I can't figure out how to get bananas and stuff home. I found the box to put stuff in but there is no corresponding box when I get back home.

I want my bananas and puffer fish!

Did you get Tomb Raider though?

Posted on June 20, 2013 12:56 AM

Yep, but I spent twice as much as I should have. LOL I haven't downloaded it yet though. I guess I can always sell my physical copy of Dishonored and recoup my 20 bucks.

I thougt this would be about that malicious PSN patch for PS3s. Well, be thankful that's not what you downloaded at least. lol

Posted on June 20, 2013 12:57 AM

Strangely enough I had my PS3 on last night and an update was never mentioned. Nor did I find anything when I was on today.

Posted on June 20, 2013 1:01 AM

Well, I guess you're lucky then. Apparently it was firmware update 4.45, but they've since rolled back to 4.41.

Posted on June 20, 2013 1:04 AM

If my launch PS3 ever got bricked I think I'd lose it.

Sorry.. But I had to laugh at this...

Sadly though.. I can relate to accidental drunk purchases.

Posted on June 20, 2013 5:51 PM

It's ok to laugh. I did a dumbass thing.

I may not drink but I do have a terrible memory at times, so there have been more than a few times where I bought something I already have.

Posted on June 21, 2013 12:29 AM

That sucks, glad I don't drink.

That reminds me, I need to clean out my shopping cart on PSN, I think I have five or six games on there that I can't buy given I only have .99 in my wallet.

Posted on July 8, 2013 1:18 AM

Yep, you don't get much for 99 cents except that EB Games is now selling Steel Diver for 3DS for that price. I still passed. LOL
