Save half of it for a rainy day or some future release. Take fifty of what's left and save that, too. The other fifty, find a game. Or save it all and upgrade your computer later on. Maybe save all of it and put it toward your next console. Or just save it for non-gaming related stuff. Like having two hundred dollars down the road.

I tend to agree with capngod. I also approve of his avatar. You came into a lot of money, and buying a few trite titles won't satiate you the way a massive computer upgrade would. 200 bucks represents quite a bit of ram\videocard. Its not quite enough to get a core i7 computer, though ;)

However, I own stock in ActivisionBlizzard, so I think you should just go out and buy a whole new Guitar Hero set, and sign up for about a year of world of warcraft (after buying the WoW battlechest, of course)

Because boasting on the internet is cool!

[/sarcasm]

Invest. Seriously. You'll get another 200 bucks in time. And after that you're in the green.

save most of it for later on, say $125, than you have $75 to spend on whatever you want. i normally do this with my pay, good way to save money without drasticly cutting out your social life.

damn i could use that money, plaining on going to tokyo game show in 2010 need like $1500-2000 and well im pretty low on cash right now.

Invest a copy of Rez for the Dreamcast. I hear those are incredibly valuable.

Or a copy of Steel Battalion:

Surely safer than real estate!

I own stock in Best Buy. You should go there and spend your $200 on games.

If you were a day earlier I would have recommended blowing it all on the awesome steam holiday sale. So I will anyway... Minus the epic prices...
