My last impulse buy was my 360 Elite.
I went to HMV for a DVD, returned with that

Mine would be either the iPhone or 360 Elite, as I rarely use it

Don't do impulse buys, I like to research everything for ages to make sure that
a) I have chosen the best product
b) I am getting the best price
OCD anyone?

It gets to the point where I spend so long choosing something, by the time I finally make a decision, something new is out.

I was just about to post that, thats the problem with technology, it finally comes down to your price level then the next best thing comes out and you are back to square one, but think about it logically - while youve been waiting to buy this thing you havent had and you have survived without it, do you REALLY need it lol?

I did that with my camera, I spent months researching into it, then by the time I bought it, the 450D came out a few weeks later. Im still not complaining about paying £200 for a £650 bike though

I'm very much an impulse buyer, I like it that way. I do research stuff but generally I see something, I want it, I buy it. Pretty much just goes like that with every vehicle I've bought.

every few months i realise i haven't bought myself much for a while so i'll spend a few hundred on something i want at the time. it's usually something pointless that i wont use much in the future.
