You can get Civilization 4 for so cheap now.

Or even cheaper if you consider free cheap and aren't morally bothered by torrenting.

Disgaea (Just reprinted so it might be cheaper than $50 now), Makai Kingdom, Phantom Brave, Disgaea 2.

[Bolivar]

oh man, don't get me started on MGS, if you haven't played that yet Boko, you MUST

[Zeromus_X]

Disgaea

I saw it in a store for only 34.99.

[Levian]

Dark Cloud or Dark Cloud 2. They're independent, so it doesn't really matter what order you play them in, although Dark Cloud 1 is less complex.

You've likely bought a game by now, but if you haven't or are looking for one in the future, get Odin Sphere. It's an instant classic action RPG and it's likely the type that will become very hard to find before long.

A lot of great games have already mentioned,i just want to add Dragon Quest VIII.This game is huge,and it will keep you occupied for many days and nights.It's also one of the most beautiful games i've ever played.
You can find a very cheap copy (there's a platinum version too) for 10-15$ i think

If you've got a DS get Trace Memory!!!! Ashley must find her father and solve the mystery of Blood Edward Island! The thing about those types of games, though, is that they have very little replay value and are often very short.
