Hm.

I planned on picking up most of my games off of FS/T, and I'll also need only 1 controller for now. Plus I'm not too interested in Live at the moment, but we'll see.

I'm still undecided...😱
 
XBox, but only if you can get HALO! 😀 But, that's more than $200 - find a nice chick or treat the chick you've already got!
 
I think I might just upgrade my crappy case and save the rest of the money.

I still have a bunch of GC games to finish.

Wow the XBOX was way ahead in votes too...:Q
 
I'm suprised that an accountant hasn't joined the conversation, and let you know how much your $200 would be worth if you put it in an IRA and let it grow interest until you were 65.

Oh well. I guess that they're all too busy filling out tax returns at the moment 🙂

I have other money put aside for that...I just finished paying off my bills for the month and had $400 left over. Figured I'd save half and buy a toy with the other half! 😀
 
Either computer upgrades or games for your other systems. In my opinion, the only thing the XBox really has going for it is Halo, and that was a long time ago.

Or you could buy old systems and games...

I recently picked up an old copy of Blast Corps for the N64 and I wasted about 3 hours on it today.
 
Consoles rock! I love paying $50+ for a SINGLE GAME, then end up hating it, and throwing it in my closet! It's so much fun!
