Currently im bored with the wii i never play it but if i sell it im afraid i might regret it.. I was thinking about sellling to gamestop/ebgames does anyone knows how much i would get for the wii and the games?

I would never sell any games, I am afraid that I want to play them again a couple years from now and I can't.

And besides, Gamestop/EB Games rip you off when you try to sell something.

Keep the wii, buy a 360. Use the money you saved from not buying a PS3 to buy lots of 360/wii games and live life up with the greatest console combo you can get.

MGS4 is not worth the price tag. Or you can buy it i suppose but i CONDEMN YOU.

I would say keep the Wii for now. And if there aren't any upcoming games on the Wii you like the look of in a few months sell it.

Yes sell the Wii, send nintendo a powerful message.

As for PS3, if you're getting the 40gb get MGS4, GTA4, COD4, DMC4, and the rest reserve future games

If 80GB PS3, get MGS4 and COD4

I am not an advocate of selling systems, but if you do sell the Wii, do it on eBay. You can get more than you paid for it still, whereas you will get like $100 from GameStop, if that.

Whatever you do, don't sell them to Gamestop/EB. They are a complete and utter ripoff.

My advice: Don't ask for advice in system wars.

There are far to many fanboys here to get a honest answer, keep the wii or sell the wii but if you do sell the wii don't do it through gamestop or ebgames, ebay the damn thing an make a lot more money.

I gave you my money, because you promised to revolutionize gaming, you have failed me and abandoned me, you will not get another penny from me.

Doubt they care. They made their money off of him, and I highly doubt Nintendo tracks used console sales.

if enough gamers do it they'll take notice. Also most $ is made from Software....if he buys no more software...which would be like 20-30 on average by the end of the gen...that's like $400-500 Nitty could have had in profits alone.

I would keep the Wii and the games you like on it, maybe sell the games you're bored with.

But games like Madworld and Deadly Creatures will probably be amazing, so selling your Wii could come back to haunt you.

Ps3 is a fantastic gaming machine, try to get a version with BC, I still use it more than I originally thought (persona 3 and odin sphere look amazing with the upscaling).

LOL?! Dude, xBox live adds what, $50-$200 to the price tag? And what about the hard dive, wireless adapters? Add another $100?

Which console is more expensive? LOL

If you can't find a MGS4 bundle then try to find the cheapest PS3 you can find and just add a larger 2.5 HDD which is pretty much found anywhere that sells laptop parts. I put a 2.5 Seagate 250HDD for about $90 and I am sure it is cheaper now and it doesn't void your warranty.

Sell the Wii and get a PS3. If you get a 360, you have to buy extra add ons which would cost more than the PS3.

Get an MGS4 bundle PS3 and play that for a while. I'm sure you can save up enough money to buy another game once you're finished playing MGS4 (I'm going on my 6th run). You can probably pick up GTA4 and play that until they release their greatest hits version of games which I think they announced at E3 which will only be $30 a game from there on.
