Good deal and perfect to move on to the Xbox 360


Coming from the man with only a 360.

I've been wanting to get the PS3 slim for forever! I have a 40 gig monster from 2007.  I never have enough memory to install anything lately. I'll gladly sell it to buy a new one with more memory on it. I wonder if they'll let me transport my content to the new PS3 if I trade it in.


back it up with a USB stick or external HDD. Or buy the Slim, do UTP transfer, then sell the old one.

No way I will get rid of my 60GB system, if I can help it.  If I need to, I will clear out space on the harddrive to be able to still hold onto it.


can always buy a new HDD, not too much money these days.

Hmm you can sell a PS3 on amazon from 220-250 depending on which model you have.. Gotta deal with the hassle of shipping though and the fee associated with it. Might have to consider this. PS3 hasn't done much for me thus far, and there's so many games I want to buy. Only thing that sucks about that deal though is that it sounds like you gotta spend all the trade in money at gamestop..

Actually, with the new 360 slim, I kinda think that's what gamestop's counting on.

I have had just about enough of you you drunkard. Time to check you into rehab.

 

 

As for the topic at hand, the deal is interesting and I wouldn't mind having a slim, but I don't know if I want to give them a 60GB B/C PS3 for $200 so they can resell it for $350.

Considering how a refurbed 60GB at Gamestop costs more than a brand new 120GB Slim and the same as a 250GB Slim, I think I would be losing out on the deal.

can always ebay it out if you really want a slim, though tbh if the 60gb works fine, just throw a new HDD in there should solve the problem.
