Twice but for what I think are realistic reasons.

White Knight Chronicles on PS3. 350 hours into the game my fat PS3 got YLOD. At the time I was unaware how to remove the disc on a dead system. I was addicted to this game and put 1,350 hours in it the first 7 months it was out. Went out that morning and bought a new PS3 slim and rebought the game and went home set it up, downloaded my cloud save (from automatic backup (thankfully I had ps+ for this reason)

Hot Shots Golf Out of Bounds on PS3. One of my favorite series. Played it multiple times weekly with a friend for 5 years until servers were shut down. Played online tournaments a lot the first couple years. Loved this game so much and played it easily over 5,000 hours.

I had the disc version and had the extra courses and characters but never bought the costume pack that was like $10 for outfits for all the golfers. 2 years later they had a sale on the digital version of the game with the costumes and everything for $15. I decided it was worth $15 for the convenience of not needing to swap discs with my main game 3 times a week to jump back and forth and getting the costumes was a nice bonus I didnt have. Totally was worth the money to not be swapping discs the next 3 years. I also liked the idea of supporting a really niche series I loved with another sale.

These are the only two times and was totally worth it both times to me.
