Hey

Where would I be able to swap my PS3 80GB for an Xbox 360 which is in good condition?

All my mates are begging me to get an Xbox as I'm the only one in the group who doesn't have one! So I know that I probably can't afford to go all out and buy a new Xbox (as I'm saving up for my Holiday) so I thought the best solution would be to do a swap.

Thanks in advance,

The best one I can get. Doubt i'll be able to get a brand new one for my PS3. It's had two previous owners in three years but everything works superbly, even the Blu-Ray disc drive.

Definitely try your local game store first. If you get no luck at game, then sell the ps3 on ebay and use that money to buy a xbox. :D

Talking about maybe £100.

I've never sold anything on eBay so my feedback will be zilch (0%), that's the only doubt I have selling it on eBay.

Hmm, you have any family members use it?

I did a quick search on ebay and found a 60gb ps3 thats selling at £169.95 which just includes the console and accessories, so you could probably get about the same.

Just set a starting price that your happy with and see how much you end up getting...

Nah they aren't really familiar with the computer =P

Well how much could I get a new/used Xbox 360 for?

I have a 360 sitting around doing nothing but it has no HD unfortunately.

Amazon have some, but it depends on what hard drive size you want and if you want the old or new model 360. You can get a 20gb, 60gb, and 250gb hard drive. Assuming you wanted the 250gb hd, then the new model xbox with the 250gb hd is being sold by amazon at £189.99. So depending on how much you get from the ps3 and how much your willing to put towards it, this would probably be your best option. :)

£189.99 for the console + controller (presumably) alone?

That sounds good. But to be fair I don't know which would be best for me in GB. I have no idea how it works and how I'll use 250!

Deffo go for ebay,

you'll be able to sell it for more than game offer and buy an xbox cheaper than game sell ;)

Well it depends on how many games you have and if you plan on installing any games to the hd. I have the 60gb and that is just plenty for me so you would probably be fine with that.
