EB PS3 Deal... should I?

Well I am sure by now you have seen tons of questions about the PS3 deal at EB.

I want to post this question to get your opinions on what I should do in the following senario.

I am considering going for the EBGames deal of turning in my PS2, 2 controlers, and a memory card and getting $80 towards a PS3 40 GB. Along with that turning in my Nintendo DS and 6 games (seeing as it was the biggest mistake I ever made) and get probably another $100 towards a PS3.

You figure that a PS3 and one game (COD4) is about $500 so that makes it $320 or so to buy a PS3.

However I lose backwards compatability and my PS2 and the useless DS. I am about as broke as they come being a college student.

Input would be amazing to help me figure out what to do.

If you dont like your DS you may as well trade it in along with your ps2. As far as backwards compatibility. Once you play some good games on the ps3 most ps2 games seem to suck. At least thats the way it was for me when I upgraded to current gen systems.Co0kieMonsterxX

Do it man.... the ps2 is history, and the ds... well if it is the biggest mistake you ever done, you wont regret it...

Well, it seems like you're not getting use out of your DS so definitely trade that in. As for the PS2, if you see yourself regretting it at all or like a lot of PS2 titles, I wouldn't trade that in as you'll probably regret it later. But if you don't get that much use out of your PS2 then definitely trade that in as well. I get so much use out of my PS3 that I don't play my PS2 titles all that much anymore anyway. Hopefully I helped and add me on PSN when you get everything set! :)

great games dont just suddenly suck because you play new games. if thats how you feel about a game then maybe its not such a good game to begin with.

anywho, i would wait to truly buy what you want. firstly, you said so yourself, you dont really have the money right now.. second, prices will go down probably for holiday season and you could spend more time focusing on other things instead of buyin a system you possibly wont have much time to play.
