Buyers regret or pointless purchases?

PS5 easily. Just a big disappointment in general.

On PC I've been pretty good with my buys, if I had to pick something, then my 11400. I'm not unhappy with it, with power limits off and gear 1 3600 it's 10% or so on average behind a 5600x (so says techpowerup who tested that config) and it was significantly cheaper when I bought it and more than enough for me, but there is no where to go when it's no longer good enough for me. If I had got a 5600x, I could drop in a 5700x3d for cheap. Not my fault, I can't see the future and how 3d cache would turn out, but that's the probably the closest big thing to regret I can think of on pc.

I'll let you know when I get around to opening the 50 Amazon parcels under the stairs that I ordered and then forgot what it was by the time it arrived.
 
My PS5 / PSVR2 - I really just wanted to try it out but haven't played on it for more than 2-3 mins when I'm showing someone else. I even buy the occasional game for it, that I also don't play.
 
Part of me longs for a USB Pioneer slot loading blu-ray drive (BDR-XS07TS), just because it would remind me of my old IDE Pioneer drive, which was also a slot loader. Worse than that, I'd like in the silver colour too, which is more expensive.

:(
 
Two things from OCUK spring to mind, though regret is perhaps a strong word as neither were expensive enough for that.

First was a Samsung docking station thingy with all manner of ports. Bought it for a tenner or something on clearance in around 2009, I didn't even have a laptop! Sold it last year on eBay for more than I bought it for, well, probably not inflation-adjusted lol.

Second was a 40GB Intel SSD, a 320 I assume, again on sale. Never used it, still have it. I did use the Intel torch/multitool thing that came with it though and still have that :D
