If they ever have paid content which actually gets removed from your game library after some cutoff date... well, that's called a rental. Maybe gaming will go that direction someday, it wouldn't really surprise me given how anti-consumer publishers are, but fortunately we're not there yet, and I hope that future can be headed off.
Atari 2600

Star Trek: Strategic Operations Simulator - $4, cart only. Sega space shooter with some 2600-level 'sim' elements. Sega's 2600 games are usually good.
Atari 7800
--
Karateka - $5, cart only - mediocre beat 'em up, predecessor to the much better Prince of Persia, but it's nice to have a 7800 game that's not an early '80s port...
Nintendo DS
--
Dementium: The Ward - $5, complete - horror FPS. Nice price.
Playstation 2
--
Wild Wild Racing - complete, $5. Decent-looking racer.
Way of the Samurai - $5, no manual. Samurai action game, I've wanted to play these games (it's a series).
Xbox
--
Tron 2.0: Killer App - $5, complete. Tron FPS/racing game.
Gamecube
--
Top Gun: Combat Zones - $2, complete. Okay flight combat game.
Saturn
--
Blazing Heroes - $30, complete. Strategy game previously released as "Mystaria: The Realms of Lore", but it had a title change probably for some rights reason (maybe TSR owned Mystaria and Sega didn't know before the first release?). It's a tactical strategy game, one of many on the Saturn from Sega, but this is one of the very few actually released in the US. I'm quite happy to find this, even though you can get it a few bucks cheaper on ebay... at least locally I know that if I have issues with it it's easy to return.
