Selling my 360 and all my games because...

I have decided to sell my 360 and all my games because I feel the technology has gotten too out of date to justify spending $60 a game on. So this is not really a system war article. I love Xbox and will be the first one in line to buy the new Xbox when it comes out late this year. That said I have a very high end PC and have the 360 wireless controller for it and games look and run SOOO much better than on the 360.

No Im not advocating everyone build a gaming PC. I understand the very reason consoles are appealing is you just plug them in to your TV and you are done. I am just saying Microsoft and Sony have waited too long to come out with the next gen consoles and I have decided not to invest anymore money into this platform because I do have a great gaming PC. I also have a roku box and right now I use my 360 for Netflix / Amazon Prime 80% of the time anyway.

Cant wait for November / December when the new Xbox and Playstation come out.

Thinking about it too. I guess I could ask about 150-200 euros for my console and game collection.

To each his own. I've got over 100 XBox 360 games and 2 Xbox 360's and have no plans of getting rid of either of them. I also have 2 PS3 and a decent laptop to play a few PC games. The main reason I'm keeping my systems is because I have games I haven't even started to play yet. I still have games like Kingdom of Amular and Borderlands to finish. I have started to sell some of my older outdated games that I have no plans on playing again. Hope to get rid of a lot of stuff during my yard sale. blackace

Because I care.

I was in same boat as you on my PS3 with a backlog of games. I deced to dump pretty much every "multiplat" on PS3 whether I've beaten them or not (quite a few "sealed" games), because frankly I will NEVER get to them, and by the time I do I will certainly rather play them on PC. My HTPC at present has bottom end video card, so I really haven't used it much for gaming yet, but I'm sure it at least would beat console settings.

My rule now has been trying to only buy "exclusive" games (either specific to one console, or at least "console exclusives").

Fortunately I also had a few OOP games, a couple of which I made big profit on. I also am in the habit of buying games only when I see the best possible deals. I feel like I still lost money overall in my "hoarding" of games, but maybe not as bad as it could have been thanks to some of the OOP and rare stuff I had. I was just glad to get rid of them and make some room!!!

you should update your sig then.
