I have had a lot of fun building a few of these kits. If you have some soldering skills you can't go wrong for $20.99 US. Here are the specs and a link to the vendor.
As far as looking at the electronics of video games with a scope you will probable need a better scope and a lot of foundational electronics and software experience to be able to interpret what you are looking at. If you just want a basic scope to look at lower frequencies this kit is pretty great.
It really depends on what budget you can afford and how detailed you want to get with analyzing signals.
An entry level scope from Rigol or Tektronix will serve a large majority of needs at a more affordable price, but there will come a time when you want something better. Of course these companies and others make lots of better scopes if you can afford them, but you should probably wait on buying an expensive scope until you understand what you really want.
