What's the cheapest thing you had bought that by the end of its usefulness made you say "wow, this was worth a lot more than what I've paid for!" (sh.itjust.works)

Mine... My Xbox 360 slim only costed 129 euro back in 2012 and to this day still work like brand new, you would think that the disc drive would stop working but no. Never had the need of open it or clean it's insides. Still great, I just don't use it anymore since I feel it's outdated and loading speeds are better nowadays.

I tried Yakuza 1 once but I just couldn't enjoy it. Is too weird and there's too much standing around taking. Too much pauses.

Nothing wrong with that. It's not as constant action of a thing for sure, the real fights being spread out after the exposition is what makes them more impactful to me, the regular street fights are mainly just grinding while you get used to the combos and are kinda boring. The varied minigames give you a break, and I like the comedy bits to swing the mood back and forth from serious to funny. I enjoy the GTA games, but find them much darker and the protagonists aren't as likeable to me. Yakuza has Kiryu as a relatively good guy, and the games are all mostly in the same city over the years, so you see the city grow, businesses come and go, and you see your NPC friends change jobs over the years, so it is a really organic experience, but it's not all fresh and brand new, so people could get bored of being in the same places a lot of the time. It's more of a book experience than an action movie.
