I am done with MGS4. I have the guide still sealed in new condition. I also have the Metal Gear Saga Volume 2 DVD, also still sealed in new condition. The game is opened but still like new.

I want to sell them on eBay together as a package, but I'd like to get some opinions first. Should I sell it now or do you think I will get more for it if I wait until it gets closer to the holiday season?

To much PS3 stuff in late 08 early 09. MGS4 will be a game that everyone remembered as great. But not the game of then. Thats gaming, to get better and better, on to the next. Holiday season is the next. And it dont matter if you have a game of the year. Its always "whats next" And theirs alot next. And selling MGS4, best game of the last 5 years or more. Mise will sell every game you have then and make out. Only makes sense.

The guides will probably become less valuble, but the game could go either way.

it wont matter with killzone 2 and Resistance 2 and Socom Confrontation coming around the holidays not to mention a couple others MGS4 will not be the hot item. You are better selling it now when its still wanted and you will probably only lose about 10 bucks on the sale. probably get a good 75 with the guide not to include shipping in a couple months it will be like 50

It won't be any more valuable in the future. Remember the saying: A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

If you are done with the game you would likely be better off selling now while the buzz is still going around about the game. If you wait until fall most people that were interested in it would have already bought the game- they will be looking to other games like Resistance 2 and other holiday releases.

I am curious as to why you would even sell it. I could understand if you needed the money for another game but honestly If you dont need the cash I would wait until they release some DLC like maps before selling, or maybe trophys.

nobody cares what you preferred so dont tell us. Answer the question at hand or dont answer the thread at all. I'd sell it now. You'll get no extra money down the line

MGS4 is not that hard to find, neither is the official game guide. You can walk into any gaming store and they'll have both. If I were you I'd keep it. You won't make much money off of it.

I'm not necessarily looking to make a profit on the deal. I'm just trying to get more than what Gamestop will give me, especially since Gamestop will not take the guide or DVD as trade-ins.

Since I am done with it, I can either sell it or let it collect dust. Why wouldn't I sell it?

come on you know every time there is a thread with MGS4 there has to be at least on person who hates on it no matter the topic... lol the guy was probably just makin his rounds and did not even pay attention to what the TC was asking... oh I will say that if you have the limited edition you should wait till holidays otherwise sell now to a foriegn land you will get more money in those places.

Well nobody bought it. There are over 200 copies being sold on eBay right now so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I told myself that if it didn't sell the first time, I would keep it. So I guess I'm keeping it. I guess I can play online but online is only fun if you do good and if you don't do good it sucks.
