First off, this isn't a "what can I buy with $30?" topic. I'm simply just asking what the best gaming-related purchase you've made with $30 or less is. But, if you want, you could take somebody's word for it and buy something listed. Your choice; nobody's stopping you.

Unless you didn't read the door on the way in, you probably don't need to read this next part. Anyways, this thread is about what that best gaming-related purchase you've ever made with $30 dollars or less.

FAQ

Q: What exactly do you mean by 'gaming-related'?

A: Anything from gaming accessories (headsets, intercoolers, battery packs, adapters), to games! Just think anything gaming.

Q: Why $30?

A: Lots of reasons. If I said $60, people would list new games only. If I listed above $60, people would list consoles or accessories only. Also, $30 is spare change almost all of us have at all times. Anything above $30 isn't really somethng you'd buy whenever you like.

Q: Are you talking about what price it is now or what price it was when I bought it?

A: Now. I know, it might seem confusing, but it's not as misleading.

Q: $30? What is that?

A: Thirty US Dollars. In Pounds, that is: ~19 pounds. In Euros, that is: ~22 Euros. By the way, I was using a converter, so I don't know if this is accurate.

My $30 investment:

TES:IV - Oblivion GOTY. Found it for exactly $30 (coincedence?) at Wal-Mart.

2x Play & Charge Kits - $14.39 each Nyko Wii Charger Station Quad - $30.82 I wouldn't mess with Intercoolers though, here they often do more harm than good

Ya $30 isnt exactly spare change. Maybe $10-15 ya.

Anyway bought Klonoa for Wii (the remake). Was never able to find the PS1 version and it doesnt matter cause the new one is just as good if not better and the updated graphics are beauitful. I thought it was $50 since most new releases on Wii are but to my surprise it was only $30 new when I got to the store.

I also bought 3 Sonic Adventure figures from Toys R Us back in the day. Sonic , Tails, and Knuckles. Still have them too ($10 each, theyre super exspensive now online if you find them. Ive seen them as hight as $80+. Thats insane.)

Found a Razer Copperhand mouse brand new on Ebay for $25, shipping included. That was a steal.

Bought Dead Space (PC) for only $4.25 on eBay. Ebay bucks program took care of the shipping.

Civilization 4, Noble 6 figurine, and Halo Reach Soundtrack - $30.00 with shipping included on Amazon.com.

I love looking for great deals. :P

To clear up some confusion...

When I said $30 was 'spare change', I didn't exactly mean it fully. I meant it was money we have at all times and you probably wouldn't think twice about spending it, because it's not a lot.

Forgive me for my perplexing sentence.

If you wouldn't think twice about spending $30, it still must be nice to be you.

I got a somewhat expensive mouse for $5 (Logitech MX500). I see them sell for a lot of money online some times. Also, Front Mission for the DS, complete for $5.

I would consider $30 spare change, but anyone to young to have a job or anything like that, yea $30 is a bit much. I bought Saints Row 2 for $17.99
