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!

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...
