Hello future PS3 buddies. I am gonna buy a PS3 in August and I was thinking of trading 10 PS2 games at EBgames for a discount. Anyone know how much that might get me? i plan on using the rest of my 600 bucks on games and possibly an extra controller

You'll probably more make money on ebay than trading games in at EB. Most games only get you around $5 or less. Every once in a while they have a deal where you get a discount for trading in a used system or games for a PS3, but other than that you're probably better off just keeping the games.

you have to be buying the PS3 at that moment for that deal to be effective

Youll get beans for it really, just ebay off those PS2 games and use your profits to contribute to the PS3 purchase.

i think it is something like trade 10 games get a PS3 for $399
i dont really know though

i know for sure that if you trade 5 games (any system) you get what the games are worth plus an extra 30% credit

if you take a system in you get an extra 20% credit for that

but you might have to walk out and walk back in with the PS2 cuz they will probably tell you that you cannot use the 2 offers at the same time

As always with all consoles, its always important to have at least 2 controllers incase that extra companion wants to game.

Dude, plzdont trade any of your PS2 games in and do not sell them anywhere - you will want to play em on your PS3 later on.....I dont think you're gonna make any money worth for trading in - best to keep em.

From my experience, Ebay is the way to go. I've bought a number of used games from gamestop.com and sold them for more than what I paid.

'

I'm gonna trade in 10 games for a deal. 10 games that I have beaten and..kinda dont like anymore. the only games i really need from the ps2 are:

Fifa 07, GTA Vice City, Juiced, NFSU 2, Ace Combat

Those are really the only games i play nowadays.
