Let's say I'm willing to spend around $200 on games/electronics for the next, say 4 to 6 months. What should I do?

  1. Replace my failing graphics card with a new one (~$100 - $160)
  2. Buy a (pre-played) X-Box + controller + Halo and Halo2 (~$200)
  3. Buy a (pre-played) Gamecube + controller + memory stick + Rogue Squadron (I and II) (~$150)
  4. Buy some PS2 games
Going into this I was just planning on getting the graphics card, but then I saw the prices and began to think about what else I could do with that kind of money. Incidentally, the prices on the cards I was looking at last time I brought this up (around October maybe?) have not gone down much at all. The difference is that now my graphics card is dying, so it's a slightly more pressing issue. Anything using DirectX has horrible artifacting, making most of my 3d games kind of un-playable. Advice?
