Well, I am really interested in getting a PS3, but is it really worth it for the $499 for the 60GB version? Also, it'll be hooked upto anHDTV for the meanwhile since I really don't feel like unplugging the HD Cable Box everything just to play in HD, nor can I connect it to my monitor, so it'll be played on an HDTV but with the composite cables. Anyway, since GameStop/EBGames is doing the deal where you trade in 2 games for the 360, Wii and the PS3 you get an extra $10 value. So, I thought I might take advantage of this offer, because it seems as if I'm not getting ripped off (as much) this time. So, here's the games I would be trading in:

Xbox 360:

1) Call of Duty 2

2) Far Cry InstinctsPredator

3) Fight Night Round 3

4) F.E.A.R.

5) G.R.A.W. (First One)

6) PocketBike Racer

7) Quake 4 (Not with the Quake II Disc)

VIII) Table Tennis (Rockstar Games Presents)

9) The Darkness

10) The Outfit

Wii:

1) Red Steel

By the way, I'll still have 6 games for the Wii I can play and 14 Xbox 360 games to play.

So, is it worth it? - By the way, all that trade-in credit won't cover the PS3, it'll just take off at least $150 off the PS3 and I'll just pay the rest in cash.

Pocketbike racer does not count towards the trade in 2, get an extra $10. Good try though.

=(, they said as long as it's valued $1.00 and is an Xbox 360 game. How do you know it doesn't work?

Because I tried it myself, the Burger King games are excluded.

I own a PS3 and just bought a 360... right now 360 is better.. but if you're thinking within the next 6 months/long term... deffinitely get a PS3.

If I could only chose one I'd stick w/ the PS3

Well, if you're set on getting a PS3 & can't just afford the full price, then you might as well. It's just that EB/Gamestop rips you off so bad on trade-ins, even with the extra $10 deal. But if it gets a PS3 into your hands & you've had your fill of those games, then have at it.

Well, if it's an extra $10 on each game and not after every two games, then I'll do it. Also, I think I'd rather play The Darkness on the PS3 for some reason, I think it would be much better on the PS3 as for the other games, either no one plays it online anymore or their sequels are coming out for the PC or 360 (F.E.A.R.; COD2; Far Cry).

Yeah, I'd do that trade. None of those games, other than Fight Night, look to be games that are worth keeping. Enjoy your PS3.

Actually, my eBay account is restricted, has been for a while. I need to get it re-instated and I haven't had time to do it yet, so this is my only choice, normally though, I use eBay first since EB/GameStop obviously is ripping me and other gamers off.

wait 6 months, like i am.jack_michael

I can't, that's why I'm acting fast on this deal. I guess I could do the trade-ins and get it on an EB Edge Card and use it in 6 months, but why would I want to wait that long? I would definitely buy these games: Enchanted Arms (since I liked it on the 360 and I never finished it); Ninja Gaiden Sigma; Warhawk and then when November hits I'll probably get Haze.

I'd do that deal if I were since those offers only stay about two weeks or so but then again gamestop does rip you off just like they ripped me off when I went to go buy my ps3 becuase they had this trade-in 10 games to get the ps for $400 and I had 11 games and only were valid but then I wanted the ps3 so bad so I just got my ps3 for $500 by trading in my 11 games and my ps2 and that time in canada it $700 here which was a huge ripoff here compared to america's $600 plus count the tax I was really pissed off at the price just take the deal if you can't butdon't let gamestop rip you off

When my xbox360 broke, and the helpline told me it would be $130to fix that POS (before warranty extension).

I marched all my 360 stuffto gamestop, sold what I thought I was getting a fair price for, (the only offered $4 for a wireless controller (ummm, no)), then I took my cash and walked over to walmart and bought a ps3

I never missed any of those games I sold

Well, I just came back from GameStop. I decided to keep some games, which seemed pretty reasonable. I was given about $14.00 for each game ($19 for The Darkness), I think that's a pretty decent deal, now I have a trade-in credit value of $87.00 or something like that. I was going to trade in some more games and DVDs, but they offered me $0.40 for ShadowBoxer (DVD - Case, Inserts, DVD in mint condition) and $1.00 for Red Eye, Stealth and some other DVDs, so, I obviously didn't trade those DVDs in. They offered me $4.80 for Table Tennis and $0.25 for Burger King's Pocketbike Racer, so I kept PocketBike Racer and traded in Table Tennis (since I needed it to get an extra $10 on some games). As for the PS3, they still have some 60GB's and 80GB's in stock and I was looking at some of their games that they have. Now, the only thing I'm worried about is how good the PS3 will look on a 65" HDTV but when using composite cables. Would it look really ugly? Anyway, I kept Ghost Recon and Call of Duty 2 and Quake II and Need for Speed Carbon (in case I don't like ProStreet). Thanks everyone for their opinions.

I would get one because it's only a temp. situation when I won't be connected to HD. Either I'll wait until Christmas and purchase an HDTV or I'll eventually find a way to connect the PS3 to my monitor and play via HD then.

Yup.
