I know you guys aren't too big on this but.....

I am looking into traqding my 360 and Wii into for a new PS3 slim. The PS3 is finally at a price point that makes a trade resonable and its games library really has my interest peaked. My question is what do you guys think I could get for a 360 Pro and a Wii at Gamestop. I also have Madden 10, Operation Flashpoint DR, Fable 2 and Mario Kart Wii.

I realize that I will be getting a bad value with the trade in, but I dont have any time in my life for more than one console. Im hoping that with games and system values, I can come close to being even on the trade. What do you all think?

I say good choice. I've started a lot of trends with my friends with the PS3 and PSP. When I got may PS3, 3 of my friends got one a week or two later. I got my PSP a year ago and now 6 friends got em.

You gotta figure this.

Microsoft, a software company, makes crap hardware, but a smooth running software.

Sony, a hardware company, makes amazing hardware, but not as good software (but not crap)

Trading in two consoles for one? No man, just no.

You may get close to $400 or more for your trades. Im just guessing though.

I'll just follow that old saying; If someone's about to make a monumentally stupid decision, let them do it so they'll learn from the experience.

Huge waste, you should just save up for the PS3 since its so much cheaper now, then you wont have to miss out on any exclusives. If your desperate trade in some games you never play anymore or extra controllers you rarely use towards a new console, but trading in two consoles for one is a rash decision that you will regret.

Keep your Wii and 360 and save up to buy a PS3.

If you end up with less than you started with, its not a good decision. Its just basic logic.

Honestly, I highly doubt you'll get anywhere near $300 for the trades you listed if you're planning on taking them to GameStop.

My advice would be to not trade the two systems in the first place and save your money for the PS3 but if you really want to get rid of your 360 and Wii, websites like eBay and Amazon would be your best bet.

Except the PS3 does more than those 2 combined.

If you must make sacrifices toobtain a ps3 .... go for it. Call them up and ask what they'll give you forthem , and let us know .... I'm sure you're not the only one who's readyfor a change at this point.

Why don't you go cry over a 9.3 score? Haha

But seriously, how you could even think that is beyond me. I'm willing to bet you only own a PS3, andhave never owned a 360 or wii therefore you don't know what you're on about.

That's what the saying says?? :P

I've never recommended trading one console for another... I'm more like "save up and get what you want". That way you won't have any regrets.

UNLESS you have no real interest on upcoming games for your current consoles, in that casego ahead, but I'd still wouldn't recommend it.

If you're gonna do it, I'd at least take a week to advertise in your local paper or online and sell it yourself. If you do, you're gonna end up with more cash than what Gamestop will give you.

Oh I was just joking about your saying, which sometime I fully agree with.:P

I guess I forgot to mention the next part was meant for TC :oops:

you won't regret it.

I think you'd end up regretting it after you've done playing the 5 worthwhile exclusives. xsubtownerx

The more games you trade in at the same time, the more money you get for everything including the consoles at Gamestop.... or at least that's how it worked when I traded a bunch of stuff in a while back.Messiahbolical-

Yeeesh, I'm not big on trade-in's but my advice would be to keep the Wii. You don't really need both a PS3 and a 360, most games these days are multiplatform but if your 360 & games don't fetch you the Trey just keep 'em both& save up the dough.

Ultimately, the games are the deciding factor...

trade in two systems for one with less games??? thats real big....... mistake that is ;)

Keep the systems just in case. We all know 360 gets the better version of multi-plats anyway:|gamefan67

Don't be silly. Trade in games you don't want, but keep the consoles. There may be a point in the future a game you want comes to a console you don't own... and you'll feel really bad when you traded it in for practically nothing and have to buy it again.

I'd go for it. In the last couple years PS3 has quickly grown to the best system to own. The next year or so will solidify that. It all comes down to the fact that Sony has 16 first party studios, Nintendo has 9 and Microsoft has 5. The more first party studios you have, the more exclusives you have (as long as their good studios), and actually Sony has the highest average review score of any major publisher out there. I saw that info in an article on gamasutra earlier this year, was pretty surprised. Their average metacritic score for a game is something like 81%.

gamestop will not offer u full value not even close so just keep the systems around or give them to anybody in your family nephews etc and just save money for your ps3 slim

I really, really sugest selling those two on Ebay or Kijiji or Craigslist or something. Sell it to a friend or a friend of a friend, you'll get way more money for them.

As for the PS3, it's a great system. Enjoy.

Keep your Wii and 360 and save up to buy a PS3.

This. I don't think it's ever a good idea to trade in a console. You've already made the investment, and there is a great chance that a game on the 360 or Wii will catch your eye in the future. Just same up for a PS3 and then you'll have all three to chose from.

Trading in two consoles for one? No man, just no.

boredy-Mcbored

Trading in your wii and it's libaray should be more than enough for a ps3

Selling consoles = bad choice.
Getting PS3 = good choice.

Bad move don't do it save for the PS3.

Terrible, terrible, TERRIBLE idea. 360 alone is better than PS tre, but with a wii, it crushes it.

just sell ur wii. and then buy a ps3. the 360 and the ps3 have wayyyyyyyyy to many good games coming out. trust me.

$135 or $125 for the 360, maybe $150 for the wii. you can call eb/gamestop they'll tell you
