What are the worst tech purchases you or your family have ever made?

I watched a video recently and wanted to know what other have bought over the years.

I got an ouya.

The controllers keys stuck.

You had to give them your credit card in order to get an account.

The games were ok if you could get over the 1/2 second of lag between button press and game.

    One of my gaming buddies is in Thailand, but plays on the American server with us. His ping is regularly 2000-3000ms. When he hits a button, he doesn't actually "do the thing" for 2-3 seconds. But dude is a fucking genius, and he's mastered the timing. He regularly outperforms folks with a 28ms ping (It's me, I'm "folks").

    I'm one of the few.people.that really liked tbe Ouya. At the time it was the best living room retro gaming system out there. I bought 3 of them. And I had no problem with the controllers.
