Picking up a lot of games on Steam, super cheap. Some are ones I've thought of trying and have been waiting for a sale like this; a few, to be honest, are ones I already possess but want to "get legit with."
End result, for just a little more than it would cost to buy a new major title like Skyrim, I've gotten something like a dozen games - some indie, some just old and/or heavily discounted.
I've been tempted by, but so far haven't gotten, Mass Effect 1 and 2. I'm sure they're great games; the thing is, I already know the characters and what happens, and I really don't know if actually grinding my own path through them (and, admittedly, making my own choices) would be that much more satisfying than watching the highlights on YouTube.
