A grat way of building your 360 lineup is to only buys the essential games like Gears of War, Resident Evil, Halo etc at full price.
Second, you buy your second Tier games (games you also want but not day one purchased type games) when you have deals like Buy 2 get 1 free deal from ToysRus and Gamestop. It will qickly add to your collection while you still have money left over to eat.
Third, for the games that you like regardless of scores (ie Too Human, The Darkness) you wait till they get to the bargain bin and then buy them because 10 - 15 bucks are deals regardless of critic scores or sales.
I just picked up the Darkness recently for 10 bucks new and today I got Frontline: Fuel of War and Stranglehold for 10 bucks each at Best Buy.
I figure I love game and like collecting them but can't really afford to but you got to be smart about it and spend your money wisely.
My next batch of games I want to buy when they goes into bargain bin sales are Bladestorm, Dark Sector, Too Human, Ace Combat 6, R6: Vegas 2, Bad Company, and Lost Planet Extreme Condition. 10- 15 is my budget range for these games.
