I want to sell my ps3 for lack of games and stuff and get a 360 (mmm halo 3, bioshock). What would be the best way to do this? I was thinking ebay but I would have to sell my ps3 first and that is risky. I don't know if that would be enough for an elite. Advice would be nice

If you live in a city you could run an add in the local paper for trade/money. I have a friend that traded his gaming gear for a truck :)

Try putting an ad in your local paper, or try Craigslist.org

This is just a sugetstion and I know it's not what you asked, but you'd be insane to sell your PS3 with all the good exclusive coming in the next 6 months (I just think you might regret it). You should save the $350 up and buy an X360 and keep your PS3 as well.

Just my 2cents.

Very smart indeed. :)

I have both and wouldn't give up either one. Heavenly Sword definitely sealed that decision for me. The winner of the console war is the player who owns both of these consoles in this generation. :)

I think selling it locally through Craigslist will work the best. Do a cash transaction and in-home pickup. So you have a face to face dealing and the buyer can make sure everything works at your house before they take the stuff home. This will the safest and, not to mention, the cheapest I think..

people dont buy with stupid high price starting bid or reserves, if u put it on starting low as u like then everyone watches it and people bid, people see it starting high or a reserve and think ill just watch the cheap ones (which always end up going for going rate) ebay is best bet for max price. maybe get a decent deal at a computer shop but wont get as much as ebay, id just ebay it , start at a 99p bid, over 10 days, look at completed items for ps3 get a idea what they are acutally selling for (green prices on completed are sold red are unsold) and copy they listings key words and listing (just change it slightly so its urs) make sure u got photos up as well.

and if on the last day u think ur going to get whipped and loose out all u do is have a mate on stand by to whack a bid in for the amount u want it to go for minimum u wud take. then get another friend to bid just under that price, so next person who bids will be in the lead to win and if no one out bids then ur friend dont pay u obviousily if he wins, but u can then suggest mutrually agree not to go ahead and u will get the final item fee back and can relist and try again but never use the same mates twice within 2/3 months and make sure they do it from they own house not urs to make sure ur listing dont get took down (which is unlikely but this way ur 100% sure not to get it took down)
