    Also to mods, If I'm posting this in an inappropriate place let me know,and to where these posts should go. I'm new to EP Forums, so I'm still figuring everything out.

    It depends on what you are wanting to get with that money.. food, games? Could have been more specific.

    You like Sega Genesis games? I can make you a custom repro cart within the next week.
    Also, thats a silly question becuase you're asking on a VG forum. The best answer you'll get is to buy a 360 game. 25 won't cut it...

    Don't know what to spend your money on? Wow, I wish I had that problem. Once you're outta high school, there's ALWAYS something to spend money on... usually bills.

    My advice is to save your cash, until you see something you really want. It never hurts to have cash-at-hand for when you see that whatever-it-is that you can't live without.

    Knowing you have money in your pocket, to buy something if you want it, is a really good feeling. Savor the flavor.

    What? He can get like 3 (maybe more with luck) decent games for $25. ZeldaFreek, can you buy online? Or what local game stores can you hit? Gamestop, Bestbuy Walmart, etcetera.

    I'm mainly looking to order from amazon. I don't feel like dealing with assholes in gamestop.

    Ok, I picked out some $5-$10 games that don't really suck, and ship with free shipping at $25 on Amazon. Mind you, they all seem to be used, and I have no idea what Amazon's used games are like.

    $6.15 Fable II
    $6.34 Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter
    $6.57 Conan
    $6.85 Enchanted Arms
    $7.61 Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
    $8.60 Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands
    $9.91 Crackdown
    $10.69 Dragon Age: Origins
    $11.54 Dead Space

    You can maybe score some better deals if you actually pay shipping to buy off Amazon resellers. But I'm just giving you some examples.
