Take one of the courses! Oxford is the one I took (for the GMAT) and it was excellent. Just make sure to take it well in advance b/c the course will teach you how to prepare (which is wasted if you take it right before the test). Oxford also lets you repeat the course as many times as you want once you've taken it once, so if you really want to prepare you take the course about 6 months ahead and then take it again about a month before the test.
I think it cost me something like $400-500, but it was definitely worth it. The course stretches over several days but you can choose to go for fewer days for less money. I advise taking as much as you can afford. It's a good investment.

You MUST buy the GRE practice book, with old tests. Keep taking them, look over your mistakes, and learn where your weaknesses are.
The verbal section is heavy on vocab (at least when I took it), so if your vocab is weak, I recommend buying Word Smart I & II.
Good luck!

I know a couple of friends that took the Princeton Review online course and swear by it, they have several different sections that you can go through at your own pace, they send you a package containing a workbook, a guide and headphones to participate in their scheduled live online sessions and you can also participate in review help sessions, it ran about 800 or 900 US but from what I have heard worth every penny.
