Major game companies don’t hesitate to charge an arm and a leg for new releases, with most launching around $60 these days. You may not be aware but there is quite a few older commercial titles freely available, just waiting to be downloaded. Dozens of old school favorites like Doom, GTA, Command & Conquer, Fallout, etc. can be had totally free.
Here is a few of the most popular games:

As an update to this post, to make matters worse, Hollywood has deemed HD analog too much of a danger to allow, and so from the beginning of 2011, newly manufactured Blu-ray players are no longer allowed to output HD via analog (it will be limited to 540p):

Old players are not affected, so hang on to those or you’ll need to buy a brand new TV.
By 2013, no Blu-ray player is allowed to even have analog output any more.
It begs the question: does Hollywood want us to buy movies or not, or do they want up to download pirated copies that don’t have these restrictions!
The wonder-full gift for all video game players is only to give free download of video game to their PC. So this will impress them very easily.
