Hi Paul

the third, El Cheapo option would be simply to buy the console shortly 
after its lifetime is over.

Every console has after the end of its lifetime around 10-15 exklusives 
which never make it to the PC and which are worthwhile playing.
The good thing doing this is, you can get everything for a minimum 
amount of money, because most people try to get rid of the old hardware 
to make room for the new one.
If you dont buy it in an overpriced shop like Gamestop, you might end up 
on a bugdet this way.

You will end up with the console for around 100-150 bucks with some 
games already thrown in and the rest of the games you want will go 
likely second hand with 5-10 bucks per game.

I recently did that with a PS3 slim, and ended up spending around 200 
bucks for a full collection and the console.
(everything bought over second hand sources but nothing from Gamestop 
which I personally think is a ripoff)
