It is dirt cheap now....
Awesome! Hope it stays that way for a couple more years, then.
Meanwhile, my $10 copy of Phantom Dust is getting a huge amount of play. :D
Yah PD is so good, I really want to replay the whole game to unlock all the abilities (not the online ones, unfortnately).

I rarely buy full price, and buy used whenever possible. The only regrets were buying Halo3 full price and barely playing it, and PGR4 which was in the bargian bin the following weekend after I paid $60 for it.
360 Stuff:
Xbox360 Costco kit (2 controllers, 1plugnplay, some game) - 00.00 (won in a contest)
Dead or Alive 4 - 30.00
Viva Pinata - 40.00
Halo 3 - 00.00 (trade-in deal from unlisted games I got for free)
Culdcept Saga - 40.00
Devil May Cry 4 - 25.00 (pretty sure it was hot)
XBLA Games:
Assault Heroes - 10.00
Settlers of Catan - 10.00
Carcassonne - 10.00
Halo Legendary Pack - 10.00
Worms - 10.00

Mutant Storm - 10.00
Puzzle Quest - 15.00

XboxLive sub ~ 100.00 so far
~ $350.00
The only XBLA games I consider worth it are Luminous, Puzzle Quest, and Carcassonne, so that's $65 wasted, Viva Pinata was for my g/f but kinda a bust too, so there's another $40, but I suppose we can at least trade that.
Catan > Carcassonne and I will play you any day you want. And wreck you.
Anyone without Pac Man C.E. needs to be kicked off of Live. In fact they should start giving that shit away with new 360's/subs.
after tonight's hockey game.
