I'm pretty sure mine were Christmas gifts as I don't remember ever reading any of these.

This WoW comic book in December 2008 apparently. I was 16 at the time, before Amazon I used to use Play.com which eventually became Rakuten.

Can't remember but it was not on Amazon.

I know it was some cheap stuff because online shopping was new to me and I was not willing to take a big risk in buying something very expensive.

Must have been a PC game.
 
This book. I can't say exactly when, but I know it was in the Summer of 2003 as that was when I started JKD training.

Super Furry Animals....you never forget your first time. Lots of fumbling around for the last 3 digits of your security code. Nervous laughing as you try to remember if your billing address is the same as your delivery address. Is it ok if I don't add the gift wrap???
Fond memories....

Won't let me upload a screen shot but my first order was in 2004 and it was Burnout, Panzer dragoon orta, Dead or Alive 3, and Chase: Hollywood stunt driver. All for the xbox, I don't even remember the stunt driver game.
 
Resident Evil Remake for the Cube back in 2002.

Those were the days. Got my bro to buy me the Cube just for this and it was absolutely worth it.

I've never bought anything on Amazon. The local site only started out this year and before that I didn't want to use Amazon stores from other countries.

My first Internet purchase in general were probably some computer parts.

For me and my dad. I moved 1,700 miles away 6 months later. Next time I visited there was endless junk piled on the ping pong table and in later years his back started getting bad, so we never played again. He died 3 months ago.

I show my history pretty close to yours. About 2007 I ordered the Millencolin album "The Melancholy Collection" CD. It appears I was new to Amazon and paid for overnight shipping. Do they even offer overnight/next day delivery or is that something that was ousted with Prime?

That's awesome. How did you like it?

I actually purchased the GameCube enhanced port about a decade ago but previously played the Dreamcast version. It's a really awesome one-of-a-kind game that deserves another re-release but chances of that happening seem slim.

I actually bought it with my Dreamcast back in 2000, best purchase ever. It's my number two game of all time. It would be nice to see an HD port.

Nice. I'm curious, what's your number one?

Chrono Trigger is far and away my number one, but Skies is also far and away my number two. Haven't yet had any games usurp either and don't think it'll ever happen,the rest of my top 10 is much more fluid.

Chrono Trigger on the DS is amazing. Should replay it again one day.

It was a Freeloader that I needed to play Animal Crossing with on my Gamecube in the UK. Must of been in 2003. I remember because it was supposed to take 1-2 weeks to arrive, but it ended up taking something like two months, and my mum wouldn't let me cancel the order and buy from another website.
 
I thought it was DVDs, but guess not. My early DVDs must had been online from Future Shop or Best Buy.

Cool to see Amazon keep track of everything. Some shitty online stores cut off your history at a certain point.

If you like useless facts and mini stories about random shit, these books are probably 400 pages thick and $20. Every once in a while Costco will have these kinds of books for maybe $15 on their giant table of books at store.
