Same. I got mine for my birthday in April 2006.
There was quite a solid online community when the 360 came out (having all got the service with PGR2, Halo 2, Rainbow Six etc.) and it was a pain when most of these guys got one at Christmas 2006.
Fortunately I was living away from home and couldn't get my console online anyway. I got PGR 3 and Ghost Recon in my bundle. The former was awesome, but just didn't have the community that its predecessor had on here.
I managed to pick up PDZ, Kameo, Condemned and Dead or Alive 4 for £20 off ebay a week or so after I bought it too. Will probably adopt a similar tactic for the next-gen.
I can't remember what the 360 and those games cost me, but it was sub-£300 I think. I am not going to be paying £500 for these new ones in a month.
