Time to Decide.

Does only the special edition of Terminus contain .hack//gift?

nope...the limited edition of Terminus comes with //UNISON...the 4th //LIMINALITY DVD Termigistus (or something close to that...) comes with //GIFT ^-^

DVD's that bitter not unless you want to do a long time of playing on the game is also good but if you have enough money get both or one of each at the same time.

I'd say to go with the games. They're relatively inexpensive now that they've been around for awhile (provided they can still be found for sale in stores...but there's always the online route), so that shouldn't really cut too far into your stash. For added incentive, there are four new games coming out (.hack//fragment and the three-part .hack//G.U.), so the games might be a bit more appealing since there are new titles on the horizon.

If you can get the games for fairly cheap, you may even be able to get the games AND the series too! ^.^
