Too bad nobody sane is purely on the original Xbox live right now. Missing out big time. But as long as you have fun I guess.

WTF? I got my brand new Xbox for 94€, and a Advanced AV Kit (RGB SCART) for 25€.
Either you're bieng ripped or Xboxes are cheap around here.

You like racing games? Need for Speed underground 1 and 2 and Project Gotham Racing are your best bets. Burnout 3 is awesome as well, but it has much more of an arcade feel. Try 'em out.

I don't own one myself, but my friend has a couple worthwhile titles I've played.

Phantom Dust is defenitely worth a look at. It's a good action game that got good reviews and got slapped with a budget price.

Even if you don't like the concept of JSRF, you might as well give it a try. With Sega GT 2002, it's only $3 used at any gaming store.

As jackets said on the other page, Freedom Fighters seems to fit the bill on your action/shooting games. At this point it should be $8-$12. Got a 9.2 (or 9.3) on Gamespot, so it must be pretty good. I haven't tried it myself though.

If you're looking for a quick fix on destruction and racing. Get Burnout Revenge or Burnout 3. Both were superb racing games. Burnout Legends dropped it's price at Gamestop and EB a little while ago, so you could probably pick up the game for about $20 or less.

I'm trying to reccomend some good budget games here. At least some that are worth your time.

NFSU2 has way more car customisation than one but they completely broke the actual racing. It's not nearly as fun as the first one. Burnout 3 is an awesome game but not as good as Revenge and I'd question whether it was "More arcadey" than NFSU.

BZ, I'll have you know I'm still only on Xbox. :(

True, true Shin, but you have had it forever, and likely the only reason you don't have a 360 is because of the lack of monetary funds. Really he actually just wasted a 100 dollars because he will get a 360 eventually. Inevitable.

But if he spends $50 more he could get an X3 modchip and his wasted $100 will turn into a wisely invested $150.

Also, it appears I must have missed the 'Burnout Legends' release.

I won't be getting a 360 for quite some time. Maybe when it comes down to $100...

Well then I guess I'll start a thread entitled "Considering buying 360" in 20 years.

Your Xbox doesn't play PSP games?

You're the retarded one, XBox 360 will hit the 100$ mark in about 2 years, 3 years at very max.
Never mind, I'm the retarded afterall but the Xbox 360 will eventually go down to 100$ and not in 20 years of course.

Hah, doubtful. It took a good 4 years for the regular Xbox to sink to any price near 100 bucks, and considering the 360 will not be pulling a gamecube in pricing strategy EVER, I doubt you're going to see them on the low end of the price sprectrum for a VERY long time.

I'd love to hear your reasoning behind why it'll be extremely cheap.

Nevermind, I thought the Xbox 1 lauch price was 450€ (so said a old magazine I had around) but it turns out it was 299€.
In that case I say the XBox 360 Core will take the same amount of time to drop onto the $100 line as the original Xbox did.
EDIT: You can also steal one, in that case the price suddenly drops to $0 X-D

Far Cry Instincts is pretty fun. The map editor will keep you busy for a while. Or instead of FCI, you can pick up that other Far Cry Instincts "expansion pack" (I don't remember the name of it, unfortunately. And no I'm not talking about FCI:Predator. It was another one.) which has even more cool shit you can do in the map editor.
