My lucky day, come November I'll have 500 quid for my PS2 and some games. Hmmm, which ones? Here's my definitive Top 10, best at the top, very much desired at the bottom. (Launch titles only, next year I'll be getting Final Fantasy and Bouncer.)
1. Ridge Racer V (Namco) (Driving/Racer)
2. ESPN Track & Field (SCEI) (Athletics 'em up)
3. Silent Scope (Konami) (Arcade shooter, light gun imminent)
4. Wild Wild Racing (Rage Games) (Driving/Racer)
5. ISS (Konami) (Footie)
6. SSX (EA) (Snowboarding)
7. Tekken Tag Tournament (Namco) (Beat 'em up)
8. Fantavision (SCEI) (Firework Puzzler)
9. Time Splitters (EIDOS) (1st Person Shooter)
10.Madden NFL 2001 (EA) (Yank Footie)
Half a grand well spent methinks, only thing lacking here is a cracking good RPG, but then, when am I going to get time to get into a good adventure when I've got this lot to be getting on with?

Well after you have payed for the system and a memory card you will have £175 left. So that means 4 games.
I personally would go for TTT (best beat em up available so far), SSX (best racer even if you are on snowboards), ISS (the definative footie game, the FIFA's are just too easy and repetative) and Timesplitters (the best FPS, although I think that UT is looking bloody good).
Out of your list above I am also considering buying Silent Scope, Track and Field (Konami) and Madden 2001.
Put some money with the £15 you have left and you can then get another controller and whip your mates at all the games.
You lucky, lucky man. I will have to survive with two games until after Christmas (or maybe I will stretch to three!!).
