Well, for most classic console collectors, 60 is a pretty small number for games. I myself have 160 NES games, which is considered small to more hardcore NES collectors. Then again, older games are by default cheaper, so unless somebody doesn't consider an old Atari 2600 or Colecovision game an "actual game" and more a "mini-game," then owning a lot of games for one console isn't much a deal. For X-Box games, though, at this current time, yes, it is an insane amount. I think it all depends on the kind of "deals" you can get with certain games. Most of my games are used and were "haggled" to death.
I usually wait until an entire generation of console gaming has passed before I jump all over a system, usually just investing a little in one specific console for that generation, mostly Nintendo consoles. I waited until the 16-bit era died before I jumped all over the Genesis, and the whole 32/64-bit thing before I got a PSX and a Sega Saturn. I'd like to get an X-Box soon (preferably used and cheap), but for now, I'm satisfied enough with my PS2 and GCN. I hate to get shut out of any game, however.
KatDaddy, you already have most of the games I'd have recommended to you, but for those you don't, I recommend
Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee and
Super Smash Bros. Melee, just because they're pretty good multiplayer games, with an emphasis on "good" for Godzilla and more an "awesome" for SSB:M. Oh, and welcome aboard this place, even though I myself am pretty new to posting in these forums.
