ive got like a £400 console and £100 of games i dont play, ive played resistance and motorstorm but theres nothing comming out soon. should i trade it in for tones of gamecube games to play on my wii, which im not playing much. all that money for 2 games i play and there not that good, do you think the gamecube has enough games still plable and fun for me to maybe do this? i liked pikmin1 and havnt pikmin2, and i liked paper mario and havnt played paper mario2, all so after buying my ps3 im unbelievably poor so cant just buy any games.

Yes, I think you should. You could get a lot of games for that amount, games you'd probably actually play.

yes... the ps3 is not going anywhere,  you should seriously cash in and get some gamecube games while you still can before they are too hard to find.  then when you want to re buy a ps3 you can buy one after the price cut, dont worry its not like they will release a new game or anything so you wont miss much

A couple weeks ago, I was debating between a PS3 and and Xbox 360.......then decided on a Gamecube.  Picked up one on Ebay along with 5 games, extra controller, memory card, etc for about $90.  I've really enjoyed it.  Just decided I ddin't want to spend upwards of $1,000 by the time you buy all the accessories and games.  I think you can get a heck of alot of entertainment out of the Cube without hardly any financial outlay.

I'd say go for the Cube games.  Comes back to the PS3 when the price drops $300.

Dude, why would you wanna Play last generation games. i have over 45 PS2 games ill never play ever.... Gamecube is dead.. Nintendo abandoned it if your going to trade in your PS3 (which i highly do not recomend) atleast get a 360 instead of buying a bunch of terrible games for a terrible system in the first place.

DONT DO IT MAN!!! THAT WILL BE ONE GREAT MISTAKE!!!! anyways ps3 is about to get home and is still improveing so just wait a while cause Lair's coming out which is a lot of fun for the PS3 so I say why sell your PS3 when you've invested over $500!!!!! Which is no small amount just wait a while cause this july Lair's coming so have patience and if you want to play gamecube games then buy some and get a controller dont waste your money to buy a gamecube when you could just play it on the wii.(if you want to sell your PS3 games I say go ahead)

If you traded in your PS3 for Gamecube games you could probably get the entire GC library of worthwhile games.

If you dislike your PS3 that much then go for it.  If you think you would end up buying a PS3 later on again, then you would just be throwing away money.

why the hell would you want a 360 it's crap except for  it's online and the 2006's are much better then the xbox 360 (which is 2005) also Ps3 and wii are innovative but the PS3 is 2 in 1 innovative and hand control.

this is what i hate about next gen, its all about what console runs the best games not which games are the best, or more enjoyable. i think the funs gone. maybe ill trade my ps3 in for a nes and a classic gameboy and just live a quiet life denying games have advanced any further then that. it will be ignarent bliss.

You might have a problem finding some of the good games... but go for it if you can get a decent amount of money.

Oh hell no. Dont listen to these fanboys, if you ask stuff like this on a Nintendo board they are going to rag on anything Sony related.

This would be one of the dumbest mistakes ever. To sell a PS3 for GCN games? What? Most GCN games are cheap enough so that you can keep your PS3 and continue to buy games for it.

Last the PS3 has the games coming, you watch. Pretty soon you will want to be playing things on it. But if you sell it you will have to rebuy it when something like Assassian's Creed, Heavenly Sword, Star Wars Force Unleashed, Lair, etc. Online games and all that. If you dont want it, might as well give it to me. Oh most important of all GTA 4 and Gran Turismo 5.

Besides the GCN is not supported anymore and you will be playing old games that are not online and there is no future in that.

No you should hold on to Playstation 3, Nothing is happening right now for PS3. But you can now get  gamecube games for dirt cheap. The cube is a good system and had its share of good games. It is not worth tossing the PS3. Sony will pick up. I have Xbox 360 and it took awhile to pick up and get games out to support the system. Same for the PSP when I bought it. If you need more games to play Rent them or borrow some gamecube games from friends. If there is an Eb games near you then getting extra games is easy and cheap. Nothing is happening right now on the Sony front. However at some point it will. So keep the Playstation 3 and get more cube games. Just be patient. I also get fed up also when there are no new games to play.

While I wouldn't have bought the PS3 in the first place, now that you have it, I'd say hold on to it, but if you're bored with the games you have for it, you could sell them.  You could sell those two back and get enough money for quite a few good Cube games (especially if you don't mind buying used).

DON'T DO IT man.  I would hang on to the PS3 if I were you.  There will be lots of great games coming out for it in the future, and if you keep trading stuff back and forth you will lose out on a lot of money in between.  Plus, gamecube games are really cheap anyways, especially used.  I picked up Eternal Darkness, Viewtiful Joe, Prince of Persia and Timesplitters 2 all for $50 (Canadian).  If you do trade it in, you will regret it when God of War 3, Devil May Cry 4, and all those great games come out later on.

id say no. yeah the ps3 doesnt have much now, but you siad yourself theres nothing for the wii. i have a wii myslef, and its mostly to play gc games bc i never had one. there are so many lastgen games i need to cath up on that haveing a next gen console isnt too smart for me, but now that i have the wii i def will pick up games for it as well.

what im getting to is, when mgs4, socom, kingdom hearts, heavenly sword, god of war III, GTA4 DMC 4, i can go on..... come out, youll want a ps3. besides, you wont be playing 400 dollars of games at once, sbuy them one at a time to pass your time until more good wii and ps3 games come out.

Your selling a PS3 for some gamecube games? Makes no sense to me and your basically giving your PS3 away for free with that deal. Its your choice though so do whatever will make you feel better at the end of the day.;(). Look most of us are goona tell you to keep the PS3, which you should do, besides you can get just about any gamecube game you are interested in off of ebay for under $25 in many auctions.

I wouldn't do it. It's still early in the ps3's life, and good games will eventully make it. It's better to hang on to a ps3 until better games come out, then to sell it and then later regret it. I don't know how yall feel about it, but in my opinon, a ps3 is worth keeping just for mercs 2.

I have a Wii, and have spent most of my time playing Gamecube games on it since buying it. Some of them are fantastic and hugely underrated-Eternal Darkness, Killer 7, Smash Bros, Wind Waker, Baiten Kaitos, the list goes on. There are some absolutely brilliant games on the Cube.

 

BUT like somebody said, they are so cheap now that you can just buy one at a time for 20 bucks, play through it, then sell it when you are done and get another. You dont need to sell the PS3 to do this. Selling the PS3 seems foolish, and something that you would probably regret.
