World of Warcraft- 50 dollars then 15 dollars a month and you can play it without ever playing another game again if you wanted.
Oblivion- over 200 hours of game easy for 60 bucks.
Any game that you can play online repeatedly forever (shooters, Battlefield 2 is a great example, my favorite multiplayer shooter ever).
I mentioned WOW separately because I think it's the only game you can play exclusively for like a year and not get bored of it no matter how much you play.

Thanks to Blacksaber for the sig!
