Is this a good trade for me? PS3 for PC.

I would keep the PS3...-GeordiLaForge-

hmm I wouldent mind that computer but what other specs does it have? whats the mhz rateing on the ram and what exacally is the model number for the CPU, example 5000+ black edition, thats mine.

for just the ps3 and the games its a good trade, but i wouldn't give someone $200 on top of that for the computer. im not sure what exactly yer planning on doing on the pc but you can play games and surf the internet on your ps3....

I agree, keep the PS3.

Nope,keep the PS 3 !!!

No, not even close. For 1300 you could probably build a system around an i7 920, with a GTX 285, and 6GB.

[QUOTE="paullywog"][QUOTE="mrussell67"] Explain? hah. If I went out and built what he's offering me I'd be spending about $1200-1300, where as for him to buy all of this+take the $200, that's about $800.mrussell67

Can you link us to this 900 dollar PC? From the vague specs you listed, it seems to us your getting ripped off. Maybe it has to do with Canadian overpricing on everything?

That PC is worth about $700 CAD new. $350-400 CAD used. Not worth the trade if you're talking value only, but if you don't use your console, I don't see why not. I WOULD NOT GIVE HIM THE EXTRA $200!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS: There are not many good brands that carry 480W PSUs - so it's probobly some raidmax, or logisys garbage psu.

If I had to guess, he probably has that god ugly Logisys Area 51 case with the 480W psu combo.

threw this system together on newegg to give ya some perspective.

IF you were to make the exchange, I would personally change the power supply to a corsair tx series, buy a 22" 1920x1080 lcd monitor, and grab 2x Ati 4870's and put them in crossfire config oh wait... that mobo doesnt even support xfire, does it even support sli?, instead then later on buy a nvidia 300 series card when they arrive(later on when ya want to upgrade).

the psu, monitor, and mobo let that rig down in my book as it stands.

I wouldn't give the extra 200, but you seem to be defending this exchange tooth and nail, so go for it; you obviously want to.

Okay, so why ask us? Just wondering, because you're obviously not sitting on the fence anymore and you've already made the leap before posting...

Most of us said don't do it. I think it's alright w/o the extra $200 - do what you want though.

I've got an offer. My old comp isn't being used right now hp pavilion amd athlon64 3200 1gb ddr 180gb hd nvidia fx5200 400w psu dvd burner 17" monitor i'll trade you that for the ps3, you keep the games and the cash.TheDuffman26

That wouldn't be a Cicero pc, would it? My mom bought one of those like 3 or 4 years ago with the exact same specs.

I mean looking at the specs it aint bad, just that second hand, I dont think its worth it at all compared to the performance your going to get from the PS3. A lot of that hardwrae is outdated already, if you plan on playing newer games I just dont think it would cut it. See no use in buying outdated second hand PC hardware.

I think its an ok pc, but i wouldnt give the extra $200 for it. and is the ps3 the new 80gig or the old one that also plays ps2 games?

Keep the ps3. Used pcs are always bad news, plus an extra 200 bucks? no way.
