Dont forget prices fall. I paid £330 for my 9800 Pro but that was nearly 10 months ago so thats the price they were at, at the time. When XTs first came out then they would be this sort of price so he hasnt been ripped off unless he did buy it within the last month.

After finally being able to play Americas Army i can can so it's rather good, soon as i have nothing to compare it to i can't says it's brilliant although for the most part it's enjoyable. Although i wouldn't recommend the medical training for any inpatient or squemish people.
I bought a Radeon 9600XT with Half Life 2 voucher, so I got Steam with Half Life, CounterStrike and a HL2 download for free. Pretty sweet, but considering the card was £160 at the time, I really didn't get it for free!

Ah, well I have Half-Life anyway so was just basing that on an assuption. Still, like I said, £10 for Half-Life which will allow you to play 5 multiplayer games for free, it's a bargain.

I'm still not sure you need Half-Life, Steam I think provides Counter-Strike without the need for HL. Even so, £10 for HL now will not only allow you to download Counter-Strike, but also Team Fortress, Day of Defeat, Firearms and Natural Selection, all for free.
Didn't think much of Americas Army either, I like realism in game but Jesus, AA goes overboard with it.

No One Lives Forever 2
Relatively unheard of, but great single player, and a fun online mulitplayer, plus it's only about £10
Or you could get the original, which is ever so slightly better in single player, but they're both fantastic

Americas Army... It's free, like Counter-Strike (although you need Half-Life so AA is more free), and also it is Counter-Strike but with the idea you're in the american army and such.
It's free because it's sponsered by the American Army trying to encourage more people to join the army.
EDIT : It's a nice 650mb download though :D
