How much is the game worth, and how much is the console not being used worth. That is the two hundred dollar question it appears. Regardless I will be forking money out of my wallet next week. I set aside a week of vacation that corresponded to the release of Grand Theft Auto.

The problem with my Wii is that at the moment it seems to have no real value to me beyond the status symbol, and a distant option for entertainment. Worse yet nobody else in my household will play with the machine. Nobody has touched it in going on six months.

The consensus though is that the machine could probably fetch me $200. That is actually pretty good retained value. All consoles lose value after use like a car. Perhaps if I bring it to the local Gamestop and balance the incentives properly I might do even better. Anyone know what the general trade in value for the console is at places like Gamestop.
