You can find plenty of 2nd hand games at $5-$10 for the Xbox, but 
they're mostly bad games, most of the good ones seem to hold their value.

I just found out you need an Xbox gold account to play online 
multiplayer in anything last night when I was trying to get in PVP on 
the The Crew on the Xbox at $9.99 a month (or $60 a year, possibly less 
hunting for deals on cards).  I was pissed as you can play The Crew 
online on the PC for free.  I decided to see how it went as the first 
month is free, and they give away a few older games each month and have 
discounts on digital games.  There's nothing I'm interested in free this 
month, though they do have Monkey Island which is perhaps the best point 
& click adventure game, but I have that on the PC and played it a long 
long time ago, it certainly predates the Xbox by a long time.

So if you plan to play online multiplayer, make sure to add the gold 
subscription in your calculations of cost, which in my case is really 
tipping it back to the PC again.
