Did anybody trade their PS2 in at EB recently? If so could you tell me how much they gave you? I posted this in the PS3 forums because I figured many people traded their PS2 in to get a PS3. My EB has a promotion where you can trade a PS2 and 3 games worth $8 or more to get $100 off the price of the PS3. Unfortunately I don't have 3 games that are worth $8 or more at EB. So I'll probably just trade in the PS2 by itself depending on how much they give for it.

P.S. The reason I'm asking here is because I called and they told me to bring it in and I don't want to go there with my system if its not even worth the trip.

Thanks

I really don't recommend trading in games to EB or Gamestop, they'll rip you off! I only use the store to nab a pre-order or get gaming accessories.

EB trades or such rip-offs. They usually sell the game you trade in for 30 bucks more than what they gave you:(

I wouldnt trade my ps2 in for a ps3 if that's what you were thinking.. atleast not if you want to play your old ps2 games.. first of all, the ps3 isnt compatible with all ps2 games yet, and afaik, you can't save your status on ps2 games on the ps3...(correct me if I'm wrong)

Well thats what I was thinking. Although the only games I wanna keep are GOW and GOW2. I thought you could save status onto the hardrive.

Sell it on Ebay, I got $72 for my slimline and I put Midnight Club 2 with it. Plus you get cash and not store credit.

If it's an american ps3 then it is almost compatible with all games seeing as how there is the Emotion Engine in these units still. And you CAN save your ps2 games on your ps3

You can get a mem card adapter for your PS3 and transfer all your old PS2 saves as well as make new saves with new/future PS2 games.  It creates a sort of "virtual PS2 mem. card" recognized on the PS3 HDD.  After that you really no longer need your PS2 mem. cards.

I traded in at Gamestop and got $35 for the PS2 (fatty), $8 a piece for memory cards (x3) and $7 for a second dualshock.  I easily could have gotten more on e-bay, but I admit to my lasiness.

Unless you were missing some components or had a broken system, this is a lie.

The current trade in value fluctuates between $25-35 for the PS2. The value is usually $5 less if it is the original model vs. the slim model.

And its weird that you guys had bad experiences with trade-ins because I was able to get 260$ worth of trade-in credit on a little ps2 and gamecube stuff.

When I traded in my PS2 it was in mint condition with 4 games I got a good bargain on it, I traded in my ps2 a month before PS3 came out and EB gave me $153.00 for everything, the best time to do your trades is before the new version of the system comes out, u'll get more then u would if the new version came out, by the way does anyone know why are ps2 games still being made? cuz I feel that they should stop making ps2 games and start concentrating on the PS3.

That is incorrect currently. Then again, this is assuming that EB uses the same database as Gamestop and that the databases don't differ based on region.

In February EB Games had a deal where u trade in a PS2, 1 Memory Card and 2 Controllers....and they give you $100 towards a PS3......without having to cough up games.....you shoulda did it then.  You probably coulda made out with $130-$150

Like almost a year ago I traded in my PS2, network adapter, eye toy, like 5 controllers, mulitap, like 40-50 games and some other accesories probably... And I got nearly $300 bucks. Ofcourse they were having a special that gave more for PS2 games at the time and also before that I calculated to see how much everything was worth and I got like $700 or something... I traded it in for a Xbox 360 and then I just sold that to somebody and bought a PS3 (by the way the PS3 is way better). So yeah, it's a rip off. I would try to sell it on Ebay maybe.

The EBgames I go to is giving a "next-gen" deal.  Any old console that you trade in to buy its newer edition, they knock off 100$.  Example PS2 - PS3, 399 for the 20, 499 for the 60.
