The future of PS3?

[Black_Apalachi]

I'm thinking of trading in my PS3. My brother wants me to get another 360 but I might just get some cash for it.

Anyway before I do, I'm just wondering is there anything coming up in the near future exclusively for PS3 that will really make me regret getting rid of it? For example, is Gran Turismo only on PlayStation?

Also any ideas how much I'd be looking at (from GameStation) for an 80GB model, 2 wireless controllers, FIFA 09, Little Big Planet, Killzone 2 (virtually unplayed) and GH: World Tour + guitar?

Cheers x

I doubt they care if a game is unplayed or not, it is still second hand.
And if it is the BC ps3 it'll fetch more. Ratchet and clank might be exclusive and gt is.

If you want to get technical about it then its like 5th hand


Factory that makes them owned them
sold them to who ever made the game
they sold them to game shops
game shops sold them to you
you sold it back
someone else bought it afterwards

What I mean is, they don't care if it's been played or not, it's still preowned so they cant sell it as brandnew

Thank you, I think I did a good job tbh since if its still in its packaging they will resell it brand new.

Make £6 Extra rather then selling it pre-owned for £6 Less..

But his is "virtually unplayed" hence it's not sealed

[Jord]

so? Half of my games I get aint sealed up.. And there brand new my mw2 wasnt sealed..

OK thanks.

I never trade in anything because you get peanuts for the price you paid just so they can make more money. thats why i have all my old console and games. I only traded in 1 game and thats because it was utterly bad and i got a game i actually wanted in exchange so it worked out.

The ps3 does have a few games coming up and they did look good i cant remember the names tho. you should just save up your money and buy a 360 aswell. was up town yesterday and the HMV was selling "Xbox elite with Forza for £140" which is a pretty good deal.

Or buy a red ring and fix it. which would work out cheaper.

Modnation Racers is ps3 exclusive which releases next year

I deffo won't be spending extra money just for another 360 though. How much does it cost to fix a red ring? (I wouldn't be able to do it myself if that's what you meant :P).

I don't think there's anything of interest to me to make me keep the PS3.

Wouldn't I be able to trade it in for a pre-owned 360? Surely they would give me money/credit on top of that... as a PS3 is worth way more, especially with the other stuff I'll be giving in as well??

You'll get about £120 for the PS3 alone.
You won't get much for games, even guitar hero you'll probably get about £15.
