You would get more via Ebay / Craigslist / etc., but here at the gamestop values: About ~30-35 for games max They buy 80GB for 100-130ish. If it's the BC model, $130-150

lol @ selling a ps3 because you aren't satisfied with the games...

maybe i just don't understand switching to the 360 for the games. unless you're really big on halo and gears which would be understandable. or your friends have a 360

If you guys must know, I am a big Halo fan I got a PS3 because of MGS4 played that for like 8 months straight got some new games played here and there but yea. I love the PS3 theres so much you can do and its really inviting and entertaining, but obviously I'm not into creative games like LBP and stuff like that hell yea there awesome games but not into it don't see myself having that much fun. So yea Halo Reach and my friends have Xbox n been bit*hin at me for a while to get it soo.... Yea now all you fanboys please I'm on your freakin side just answer my damn question.

If you plan on trading at a place like Gamestop then dont bother, those places give you like 25% of the actual value MAX. Your best bet would be craigslist or eBay. Although I would strongly recommend you just save up for a 360. Selling a console that you have time and money invested into is a regretful descision waiting to happen. If you just put aside $10 a day you could get an Xbox in a month.

I answered your question in the second reply Eagle :) With gamestop prices, anyway. Ebay / Craigslist you may get $200-250ish for the unit if it's BC

Buying a system for just 1 or 2 games is such a waste.

But you have GT5coming? You can't play that on the 360. I'd say save up for a 360 and keep your Ps3.

How are Gamestop scammers? I've never understood why people think they are deceitful or scamming you. They flat out tell people what you get for what you are bringing them. It is up to the customer to decide whether or not accept what they offer. The reason their trade in price is low is because so many people accept it.

You would do the same in their situation, for instance with you trading in your PS3 you are doing the same as Gamestop. You telling me if people were offering you $300 to buy your used PS3 you would talk them down because you know the PS3 really isnt worth that? Give me a break you wouldnt think twice about taking that persons $300

Unless you do not have your own source of income, Get Both. I honestly wouldn't sell my ps3 for a 360, especially considering what games I have. Hey, I like Halo, and Gears, but they aren't enough to warrant a purchase. What I don't like about people telling you that the exclusive lineup is limited (which it is) it isn't as much as people say it it. DOA 4. PGR4, FM3, all the Banjo Kazooie Games, and it also has a much better store (more games. What the ps3 have as exclusives are good, but are fairly limited for download) If you don't have a high-end PC, then other games to get are Serious Sam HD, The WHOLE splinter cell series (which is 6 or something games,) and there are also some others.

Ok fair enough you want the xbox 360, now i have a xbox 360 and a ps3, and i brought the ps3 after the xbox 360, as much as i have adored the many hours spent on the 360, the hours spent on the console of which games? they where mainly multiplatform, the likes of cod, fallout 3 all those sort of genres happen to be on the ps3 too.

so lets try and sway your finaal desicion ps3 vs xbox 360

Exclusives- 360- yes halo of course, left 4 dead, mass effects, dead rising, gears of war, pgra few other ones tha cant be bothered to mention
PS3- heavy rain, uncharted series, infamous,resistance,killzone,mgs, demon souls, yakuza 4, gt 5, mag, little big planet--most of these are great games as ive heard and played.

Now you see i havent seen many games really so far that have come from the xbox but also put onto the ps3, now look at what ps3 have got from the xbox, bioshock, dead rising case 0, mass effect eventually, i mean think about it,if your really buying a console of the purpose of the games then your more deluded then i thought,
and to be honest halo aint that amazing not worth a console, and gears of war is fun for a while left 4 dead online fun of course but nothing else.but if their your reasons then youll regret it, if anything save up for a xbox that way you wont lose out.

eventually if you go head with your actions, youllsee your new xbox 360 will be just like the ps3 but without the blu ray, without your wireless built in depending on the version your buying, without the free online multiplayer, and if your a more mature player youll be putting yourself into the sceniro of a not so mature community, damn kids lol,
Im not bias towards any of these great consoles but im just trying to stop you deep regret later on.
hope ive helped even a little bit :)
