So i thought i would sell my Playstation 3 and all my PS3 games, because Xbox 360 have a lot more games and i always wanted to try Halo :P

So i dont know, what to do should i sell my Playstation 3 and all my PS3 games and then get a Xbox 360 or should i stay with my Playstation 3? Or should i get some more money and keep my Playstation 3 and then buy a Xbox 360?

Save and then buy one.

Selling a system is generally a bad idea.

Just save up for a 360. PS3's getting a lot of nice games in 2010, you'd do better just getting both.

Save some money up and get both. Then you get the best of both worlds. It's like all the people who were here saying 'amma sell my 360 for a PS3!' as soon as Uncharted 2 came out. Next year there'll be some killer game on the 360 and they'll be selling their PS3s to get a 360 again, losing loads of money in the process. Stick with both and you cant lose.

If can save up the money for an xbox 360 within a reasonable amount of time, then I'd suggest that. If you can't wait to get yourself and xbox, then selling your console + games is obviously the way to go.

If you sell now, you're missing out on MAG, GT5, GOW 3, likely Resistance 3 and who knows what other trump cards Sony has up their sleeves next year. Keep the PS3 and buy a 360. Even better yet, build a gameing rig for a couple hundred more then a 360 and enjoy a large number of their best game, but the superior version.

I hear "I'm trading my 360 for a ps3 all the time" (daily in fact) , but this is certainly a first.You are one brave rebel.

Sell it, later regret it, then buy a new one. Its the only way you'll learn.

Um... well, Halo's not worth the trouble if you ask me, but I suppose I'm definitely against that way of thinking.

Save up and get the 360.

UNLESS you're definitely 100% sure you won't play with your PS3 again.

Do whatever you want. It doesn't really concern me since you obviously thought this out.

Save money and get 360. IMO the PS3 will have more exclusives than 360 in the long run. So, you'd regretted if you sell it.

Why dont you like the Xbox 360?:o

He didn't say that. He said save up and buy the 360, and you'll get the best of what the PS3 and 360 offer.

Just because he's giving you that advice, doesn't mean he doesn't like the 360... Why do you want to get rid of your PS3 anyway??

@ TC. Dont get me wrong, i love my 360. If i want a ps3 right now i would save up and buy it and not sell my 360 at all. I think selling ur console is a really bad idea.

Incredibly cheap.

It costs me $10 CDN, and it's not even a hit to the wallet, and on top of that, I am anything but rich.

This. Though I'd add, the past year has been much kinder to the PS3 than the 360. I find it baffling that someone would trade down like that! j/k....

You'll regret it. It sounds like you're making the decision out of impulse.

I will say this every time someone posts that they are thinking about selling a console. NEVER trade in or sell a console. Save your money instead, be a little patient and you will have both consoles to play on. You've already invested the money on your PS3, and even if there is ONE game that will come out that is exclusive to the PS3 that you want to play, it will be worth it.

If you've never used it why did you go on to state in your lengthy thread that you tried the Uncharted 2 demo. Its not hard to prove with a simple photo, so why not.
