I totally did this to get myself one and one to trade with my friend.

Fallout 3 Havok bugs are always fun. And let's not forget the robot reassembly bug.
Shadow of the Colossus is probably the most intriguing I've found in this respect. There's a LOT of redundant map data present in the game and some of the stuff people have found is fascinating. It appears that there's even some areas that were in the midst of being implemented but aren't accessible without using glitches and the like.
Using W-Item in FFVII to get 100 Megalixers was pretty damn useful. It also saved a lot of gil on Sylkis Greens, making getting a Gold Chocobo a much easier process. Costa Del Sol mansion was mine as a result.
I'm also going to be especially geeky and comment on a glitch in the original Tekken 5 for arcade (before the 5.1 patch fixed it) that made Heihachi a bitch to fight against. 1+2 (his little short-range 'hadoken') came out in less frames than the fastest jab of anyone else so if you 1,2,1+2-ed and your opponent blocked, you could 1+2 again 100% confident that their only options are block again or get hit. Jin used to be more abusable in Tekken 4 with the last hit of b,f+2,1,uf+2 being unblockable and really hard to sidestep.
Oh yes. And Missing No.
In before Missingno.
I know.
i just wanted an excuse to use that image, I've had it for ages and never had the opportunity :x
Someone want to give a little explanation of missingno? Not a big Pokefan
A glitch that I never forget for some reason was in Beyond Good and Evil I was in some sewers or something and you had to jump down in these openings to hide while the guards passed and one of them I jumped into glitched and I fell through the floor into eternity. I think a lot of games have that kinda glitch. They're rare to hit and don't usually happen more than once. But I've heard of others. It was interesting to watch
Bulbapedia to the rescue!
I don't think...you want to read a long wiki article though.
But basically when you encounter Missingno. after doing whatever it is you have to do to encounter it, you'll have 128 of the 6th item in your inventory, if I remember correctly. The wiki article gets into more detail of course!
There was a cool one in Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 where you could bail in a bowl and then just sort of fly around the bottom of the bowl doing the bail animation for hours.
Death spots are always invaluable to know in Left 4 Dead when I want to mess with the other team, or even people on my team if I’m playing with strangers. I love to collapse dead in a safe room and act surprised as if the other team were cheating... it freaks some people out.
One time I was playing FFV on the Anthology disc. Started a new game, went to the ship after the wind shrine, and somehow got to Crescent Isle. I got Bard and Archer way too smurfin' early.
