Just wanted to know since most people here who talk about selling their console it's usually their 360 going for a PS3. Anyone here do the opposite? I have a couple of buddies that did it within the first year the PS3 came out but now are rebuying it again for the upcoming games... lesson be learned never sell consoles.:P

I can't imagine giving up the Blu-Ray player aspect, but I know many here aren't HDTV users.

Gaming wise, both machines are AWESOME, and the PS3 has been on a roll!

Last year's LBP, Resistance 2, rolled right into MLB09The SHOW, Killzone 2, InFamous, and we got GT5, Uncharted this Xmas. Pretty sweet.

Of course, there is always guys that do crazy deals. Trading a PS3 for a Gameboy Advance, a 360 for an Xbox, and a PS2 for a lick of an Ice Cream Sandwich.

It's the internet after all, anybody can say anything.

I've never heard of someone trading a system that costs nearly twice as much as the one they're trading for.

Maybe one has games they want while the other doesn't? Don't be arrogant.

Trading in a console for another console is stupid. You might as well keep the first one you bought and just save up for the second.

I agree, but I do see why someone might want to.

In what way is the 360 more superior, it's online offering? Yeah, it's way better keeping consoles than selling them, you might always regret it later.

That seems a bit insane to trade a PS3 for a XBOX 360. So not only would you lose money but than you could pay to play the same games online?(COD, Any EA Sports title and so on) and also lose Blu-Ray ohhh hell no.

For every 360 that is traded in for a ps3, a ps3 is traded in for a 360... let's see if you somehow figure out that logic. The answer is in the question.

Well surely he wasn't trading straight up console for console. Also Blu-Ray doesn't mean that much to some.

I work in Gamestop, and I've seen people do that. 2 reasons:

1. They REALLY need cash.

2. Their friends have XBOX's so they want to play on LIVE with them.
