I still think there is good value in those $2,500 DMDs. Just looking over the top-100: The Shadow, Bram Stoker's Dracula, The Getaway, Fish Tales, Road Show, Judge Dredd, World Cup Soccer, Jurassic Park, Terminator 2, Johnny Mnemonic, etc. all seem like you might be able to find them in that range. But there really are great games in all price ranges, so my suggestion is to make several lists and see what turns up in your area.
