pawn shops in the uk will give you around £25-£30 for one 2nd hand, I would guess in the US you'd surely get $40 for it?

Yes, you can play PS1 games on a BC PS3. You might even be able to play them on a 40 Gig.
Yes, lasers do get wear, especially when trying to read scratched discs. Any component of a computer can wear out.
The laser for the Blu-ray drive is separate from the PS2/DVD laser I believe, which makes it less of a problem, I just figure I would rather wear my PS2 out than my PS3.
We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high-powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers…Also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of beer, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls. The only thing that really worried me was the ether. There is nothing in the world more helpless and irresponsible and depraved than a man in the depths of an ether binge. –Raoul Duke
It is hard to shed anything but crocodile tears over White House speechwriter Patrick Buchanan's tragic analysis of the Nixon debacle. "It's like Sisyphus," he said. "We rolled the rock all the way up the mountain...and it rolled right back down on us...." Neither Sisyphus nor the commander of the Light Brigade nor Pat Buchanan had the time or any real inclination to question what they were doing...a martyr, to the bitter end, to a "flawed" cause and a narrow, atavistic concept of conservative politics that has done more damage to itself and the country in less than six years than its liberal enemies could have done in two or three decades. -Hunter S. Thompson

| bigjon said: laser wear? I think the PS3 should last me a good 5-6 years I treat it well. I don't play old games that much anyways. Can I play PS1 games on the PS3? |
Yes, all PS3 SKU's play PS1 games.

Use a craigslist/classifieds type thing if you dont like ebay, but dont do gamestop.
Getting an XBOX One for me is like being in a bad relationship but staying together because we have kids. XBone we have 20000+ achievement points, 2+ years of XBL Gold and 20000+ MS points. I think its best we stay together if only for the MS points.
Nintendo Treehouse is what happens when a publisher is confident and proud of its games and doesn't need to show CGI lies for five minutes.

For what you get for a last gen console, unless you just don't want the clutter of old consoles sitting in storage, selling on is barely worth the bother.
Trading in an old console for a handful of dollars towards another game doesn't make much sense either unless you just wanted to get rid of it. In which case, it's friendlier to the environment than just throwing it into a landfill.
If you still have a bunch of PS1 and PS2 games, I'd hang onto it as a secondary or back up system.
Is it the fat PS2 or the slim one? Gamestop currently has a trade-in offer. You'll get $20 extra credit when you trade in your used hardware. It expires on the 10th of this month, so you'll probably get between $50-$70. If you missed the offer, then you should check your local pawn shops and see how much they will give you. They'll probably give you like $20 more than what Gamestop normally offers.
