Should I sell my PS3

I guess I started coming to the conclusion that I should sell my PS3 yesterday, when MGS4 came out. I realized that all that hoopla was over a game I never wanted to play. At that point a friend of mine asked me a very good question: if I wasn't even going to get MGS4 what was I doing with a PS3 in the first place?

And that brought up an excellent point. What WASI doing with a PS3? I don't like the system, I don't like the games on the system, I don't use Blu-Ray, so why do I own the thing? I thought back to when I first bought it and I realize I got it because I originally wanted a 360 but was scared off by RROD. So at the time I thought I was getting a RROD-less 360, but as it turned out I later bought a 360 anyway and it hasn't failed on me yet, 6 months later.

Right now the only thing keeping me from selling my PS3 is the fact that I would never recover the full $500 I spent on it, so in some sense, why should I bother? It's not like it's hurting me any, sitting there, I would only sell it because I don't need it. Also, it's the 60GB version, and I still like to play some of my PS2 games on it, so it still has some marginal value left. It's just that selling the system feels like cutting off my nose to spite my face; I've already sunk the $500, what's the point of selling it now? I realize I should've returned it when I had the chance, but it's too late now.

So what do you guys think? Sell it for far less then what I paid to get it but at least recoup some of my investment, or hang onto it in the hopes that someday the PS3 might actually have some good games (and risk the unit depreciating even more)?

Yes, yes you should, sell it to someone who will be happy with the machine :D There are tons of people out there.

No kidding, especially after this game man.

I think you should sell it,with Scene It 2 coming out for the Xbox 360,you've got plenty of AAAAE titles to look forward to on Microsofts console.Dualshockin

Honestly....are you cows going to really start using that?

MGS4 is a great title, but a) it took you almost 2 years to get a good title and b) MGS4 is not better than those 4 in your signature.

If you truely think that, then you are going to miss out on really great games and you are truely a blind fanboy.

Really? No games out or coming out appeal to you on PS3? and you don't want a bluray player? I would say sell def sell it...i can maybe get someone to buy it pm if interested. I just bought Ps3 but thats cuz a lot of the exclusives appeal to me, but if not to you id say sell it.

This year has been better to PS3 in terms of games than X360 so far so why would you sell your PS3?

Cows will start using it because since PS3 came out Lemmings have used it constantly. Its perfectly fair for Cows to us that

Sell it & use whatever you can get for it to buy your 360 or whatever. I'd try to sell it for as much buck as you can get, rather than trying to sell it cheap. However, if you are going to sell it cheap, PM me. I'll entertain an offer.

Well you better get up to date on whats being happening on GS over the past 2 years then...

It would appear the general consensus is for me to sell it, so I guess I will. Thank you for all the offers but the fact is, I don't want to bother, nor do I really wanna have to go through the hassle of having to package and ship the thing, I've had a few bad experiences with FedEx and UPS. I'll probably turn it into GameStop for store credit. It's the easiest and most convenient way to get rid of it (and I could also unload all the games at the same time as well). Thanks for the advice guys.

As to all the questions why I'm doing this; I never was a fan of the console and only got it because I was scared of RROD for the 360. It didn't have any games I wanted when I got it but I thought maybe it would eventually. A year later it still didn't. I don't think I really want to wait any longer.

I thought good games were scored 7 - 8. I might be wrong.

Yup, Good 7-8, Great 8-9, Excellent (I think) 9-9.5, Prime 10.

Ebay it, easiest way.

Oh I totally agree. I shouldn't have, but it's a bit late saying that now since I can't return it for a full refund :(. And all this talk about what makes a "good" game is a bit moot. IMHO I always thought a game was good for you if you liked it. And sucked if you hate it. I fail to understand what "everyone else is saying" has anything to do with whether or not you personally would like a game, but I guess that's just me.

I think the best case in point is MGS4. I was completely meh about it when everyone else was going crazy. It was just basically the final straw that made me realize this just wasn't the console for me.
