What should I buy with $150...

Post by RyaNtheSlayA »

So I am trying to figure out what to get with my $150's. I've narrowed it down to about 5 things, hopefully you can help me make a final decision.

1.Xbox and games
2.more Saturn games
3.Nintendo DS Lite and a game
4.PS1 and huge mound of games
5.NES with lots of games

I'm leaning toward the first 2 on that list. Especially the Xbox. I'm unsure though. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to throw them to me. :D

Out of curiousity does anybody still play original Xbox games on live if it's even still up?

I agree with modman. Now is the time to grab one, and make sure it works. Rather than in 5 or so years when they aren't in every store and you have limits on quality.

Although you can play live games still, mostly people don't. I think Halo 2 is the exception, but i wouldn't really know. for sure. I jumped on to play some return to castle wolfenstein hoping there would be at least a few people online, but there wasn't a soul. It was a little weird running around a dead world like that.

It would be pretty cool if we did a together retro thing on a old xbox title at a certain date/time.

Haha it's funny because I'm actually trying to sell an original x-box.

It's in great condition, It comes with all cords and one clear green controller. All the games included are:

Forza
NFS Underground 1&2
Star Wars Battlefront
Call of Duty 3
TH Project 8
Sega Soccer Slam
50 cent bullet proof.

They all have the original cases. One or two manuals may be missing though.

Sooo yeah first choice :lol:

A lot of GameCrazy locations will be gone before the weekend is out. Prices are being slashed 50-80%. Here is a list of the ones going out of business:

I recommend a Turboduo, or Turbographx-16 with CD-ROM. :)
