I never really play on it, and i really want a PC. I need to save just under £500 for a PC and selling the PS3 would help me dearly.

I have a 40GB unit, two controllers and HDMI Cable. Little Big Planet and WWE Smackdown vs Raw 2008. I wont make a great amount, but any amount is better than nothing!

Just looking for a second opinion, thanks.

I totally agree wholeheartedly. I just recently got a great new PC, but I havent yet bought a new PC game for it. Hardly any of them are any good. I love my PS3 and would never sell it, to each his own though.

Look mate, PC is good because I have it and experience it but I also have a PS3 which as awesome games. I recommend that you try to invest in more games and good games.

....you only have 2 games? That's probably why you dont play it... try buying a game every now and then.

The main reason i want to is for The Sims 2. My fave game ever lol

That isn't the only reason though, id like to get a start on my machinima that i have been writing for months, my current laptop wont be powerful enough to edit it.

Also, i have an Xbox 360 which i do play on more. But even that i haven't been on in a while.

You can play The Sims 2 with a relatively weak machine. If your current setup cant play it, its severely outdated.

You might regret it later, so I'd think about it a lot before selling it. If you reallt want to sell it though put it on ebay, you'll get a lot more money for it.

i dunno man from what i have read from you, i have a feeling you would regret selling your ps3.

if you want to play the sims, and your laptop can't even play its time you got a new computer anyway.

hmm you have an xobx 360 aswell, that you don't play, why note sell that instead, i mean most of the good exclusives that come on that system are on pc anyway, where as exclusives on the ps3 are more likely to stay that way.

oh wait this isn't system wars...lol

I don't know, you do what you want but I love my PS3 and its exclusives to much to buy a PC. I wouldn't sell my PS3 for a PC unless I was desperate.

I really wouldn't sell it. You may play it more if you bought more of the games lol. Maybe just go trade it some games for MGS4 or Killzone 2 while you save for a PC.

i think trading or selling a console is the worst thing you can do. its always a phail move. just save your cash however long it takes and then buy a pc because simply put, you arent really missing much of anything. keep the ps3 just buy some other or newer games on it, youll have fun with it too. but thats just my suggestion. its your system do what oyu please

Don't take the easy way out. If you want a PC don't sell your ps3 because you might see a lot more games you want for it but it'll be too late because you sold it. Its not likely that after you sell it your going to get it again. So work for it maybe if you get good grades or something or someone who will pay you, can have a pc and ps3 which is a really nice combo. Plus why would you sell the ps3 when it has Resistance, Killzone 2, Infamous, MGS, Drakes fortune, etc. Try to work for the PC. People who wait for things they want enjoy those things much more then people who get what they want quickly.

You're game collection is looking a little weak. You're missing a lot of the essentials. But, if you need a PC for stuff other than gaming (school, work, etc.) than you should probably invest towards that.

If you are having a hard time saving money to purchase a PC, how are you gonig to maintain it?

A year old computer is pretty much deadweight.

Comparisons/contrasts of the PC and Ps3 should go in SW, please. Thanks.
