Another approach to the MMO route...Turbine's "Lord of the Rings Online" allows you to play it as long as it lasts (about 20 months so far with no end in sight) for a "buyout" fee,  I have no cause to regret paying $200 (as a founder, otherwise $300--though they do specials at the $200 rate from time to time) in exchange for not paying a $10 monthly fee ($15 regularly).

      they forgot "go used" Gamestop has a ton of cheap used games and about ever 45 days runs a "buy 2 used , get 1 used free" sale. I personally have gone during this sales about 4 times. each spending what one game for my 360 would cost - $60 and getting 3 games.
